canola is a prominent oil seed crop with a very high production potential in iran and the production process of which needs to be optimized. drying is an important part of the processing of the crop with emc values playing a vital role in the process. in this research adsorption and desorption experiments were conducted in an environmental chamber for licord variety of canola. the thin layer ex...

A new method to fit specific types of conics to scattered data points is introduced. Direct, specific fitting of ellipses and hyperbolae is achieved by imposing a quadratic constraint on the conic coefficients, whereby an improved partitioning of the design matrix is devised so as to improve computational efficiency and numerical stability by eliminating redundant aspects of the fitting procedu...

In this research, the exponential stretched based hyperelastic strain energy was modified to provide the unstressed initial configuration. To this end, as the first step, the model was calibrated by the experimental data to find the best material parameters. The fitting results indicated material stability in large deformations and basic loading modes. In the second step, the initial pseudo str...

reconnaissance drought index (rdi) is based on fitting a log-normal distribution to the ratio of precipitation to evapotranspiration (eto) values in selected periods. in this index value of eto were calculated based on mean temperature by thorenth-waite (th) method. th method, may underestimated eto values comparing to the actual in arid and semi arid regions. the log-normal distribution may no...

The protonation constant values of salicylic and 5-nitrosalicylic acid werestudied by a combinationof spectrophotometric and potentiometric methods at 25 °C in wide range of ionic strength. The ionicstrength of solutions was kept constant by sodium perchlorate as background electrolyte at 0.10 to 3.0 moldm-3. Potentiometer was calibrated according to Gran method at each of ionic strength. The p...

The MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 can be recorded as archive and lawful evidence. However, this MP3 audio may often be forged by audio forgers for their own benefits in some significant events, which will cause double MP3 compression. In this paper, the statistical features based on scale factors under long window application in the iterative loop are extracted, and a Support Vector Machine is applied f...

Introduction  The studies on hearing aid benefit in individuals with auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD) shows limited benefit. Low cut modified amplification is found to be effective in few individuals with ANSD. With advancement in technology, receiver in the canal (RIC) hearing aids have proven to be more effective than traditional behind the ear (BTE) hearing aids. Objective  Thus,...
