Substructuring in the finite element method is a technique that reduces computational cost and memory usage for analysis of complex structures. The efficiency of this technique depends on the number of substructures in different problems. Some subdivisions increase computational cost, but require little memory usage and vice versa. In the present study, the cost functions of computations and me...

in recent decades, seizure prediction caused a lot of research in both signal processing and neuroscience field. the researches tried to enhance the conventional seizure prediction algorithms such that rate of the false alarms be appropriately small so that seizures can be predicted according to clinical standards. up to now none of the proposed algorithms have been sufficiently adequate. in th...

among the all parameters affecting the performance of a downhole de-oiling hydrocyclone, the investigation of internal flow field deserves more attempts especially in the petroleum industry. in this study, the effects of inlet flow rate, inlet oil volume fraction, and oil droplet diameter on the separation efficiency and pressure drop ratio have been investigated along the hydrocyclone body. al...

the colorful paths and rainbow paths have been considered by severalauthors.a colorful directed path in a digraph $g$ is a directed path with $chi(g)$ vertices whose colors are different. a $v$-colorful directed path is such a directed path, starting from $v$. we prove that for a given $3$-regular triangle-free digraph $g$ determining whether there is a proper $chi(g)$-coloring of $g$such that ...

background: numerous studies used microarray gene expression data to extract metastasis-driving gene signatures for the prediction of breast cancer relapse. however, the accuracy and generality of the previously introduced biomarkers are not acceptable for reliable usage in independent datasets. this inadequacy is attributed to ignoring gene interactions by simple feature selection methods, due...

background and objectives: pomegranate juice (pj) contains large particles that stick to evaporator walls causing off flavors in the concentrate due to burning. microfiltration is used to clarify pj. fouling is a limiting phenomenon that can prevent the industrialization of membrane clarification. changes in the geometry of the membrane module such as using baffles are useful to decrease this p...

the main aim of this research is to determine optimal leaching conditions; eh, ph and complexing agent concentrations, for recovery of copper from hydroxide sludges such as those produced by electroplating shops, metal finishers, treatment of acid mine drainage, and industrial wastewater in general. this has been preceded by a theoretical approach and numerical and computer calculation. potenti...

advanced technologies in molecular biology and modern experimental biophysics heavily rely not only on the knowledge of structure of essential proteins but also on their structural dynamics. the function of these bimolecular systems and the pathways along which the biological phenomena take place can be determined based on the knowledge of the molecular structure and behavior. as such, the simp...
