abstract soil pollution with heavy metals like zinc causes increasing concerns about environment. according to distribution in soil, this study was conducted to compare zinc concentration between aggregate exteriors and interiors of some contaminated soils. aggregates were collected from 5 depths of 4 soil profiles with different textures and were separated mechanically into exterior and interi...

Linear dynamic response of simply supported nanobeams subjected to a variable axial force is assessed by Galerkin numerical approach. Constitutive behavior is described by three functional forms of elastic energy densities enclosing nonlocal and strain gradient effects and their combination. Linear stationary dynamics of nanobeams is modulated by an axial force which controls the global stiffne...

Analytical solutions have been obtained for both conservative and non-conservative forms of one-dimensional transport and transport-dispersion equations applicable for pollution as a result of a non-conservative pollutant-disposal in an open channel with linear spatially varying transport velocity and nonlinear spatially varying dispersion coefficient on account of a steady unpolluted lateral i...
