The potential use of Croatian natural zeolite clinoptilolite as alternative adsorbents for removal of enrofloxacin (ENRO) as model pollutant was studied in a batch system. The influence of contact time and initial ENRO concentration on the sorption process was investigated. The percentage removal of ENRO from aqueous phase decreased with an increase in initial concentration. The experimental da...

Molecular dynamics simulations using a coarse-grained (CG) model for dimyristoyl-phosphatidyl-choline and water molecules have been carried out to follow the self-assembly process of a Langmuir monolayer. We expand on a previous study of the characteristics of the CG model where we compare the rotational and translational constants of the present model to those of an all-atom (AA) model, and fi...

abstract uranium is a natural heavy metal widely dispersed across the earth crust. in many cases due to anthropogenic disturbance, it has been found beyond its natural abundance which resulted in soil-water pollution. the objective of this study was to investigate the capability of iranian natural zeolite clinoptilolite for removal of uranium (vi) from aqueous solutions. in order to optimize re...

in this research, adsorption of dibenzothiophene (dbt) as a model of sulfur containing material has been studied by pb exchanged y-zeolite under different experimental conditions. the adsorption was kinetically fast and high adsorption capacity was obtained. the equilibrium adsorption data were analyzed using langmuir and freunlich isotherm models. the corresponding parameters and correlation c...

Slant-discrimination thresholds were measured for textures with the property that their power spectra, when log transformed, are inversely proportional to log spatial frequency: P(f) alpha f-beta. As the exponent beta changes from high values to low values, the slope of the power spectrum of the image decreases. As the parameter passes through values in the fractal range the resulting texture c...

In this paper, a fractional model is established by using the variational iteration method to elucidate thermal properties of building prevention coating with cocoon-like hierarchy. The fractal hierarchical structure heat makes wall mathematically adapted for an extreme temperature environment. This work has inspired bionic design protective suits and clothing.

The spacing intervals of adjacent Riemann zeta zeros (non-trivial) exhibit fractal (irregular) fluctuations generic to dynamical systems in nature such as fluid flows, heart beat patterns, stock market price index, etc., and are associated with unpredictability or chaos. The power spectra of such fractal space-time fluctuations exhibit inverse power-law form and signify long-range correlations,...

Purpose – Fractal geometry can be used to model natural objects which cannot be easily represented by the euclidean geometry. However, contemporary computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) systems cannot be used to model a fractal object efficiently. In a general layer manufacturing (LM) workflow, a model described by the euclidean geometry is required in order to gene...

Non-linear parameters obtained from heart rate variability (HRV) analysis has recently been recognized to provide valuable information for physiological interpretation of heart rate fluctuation. Among the numerous non-linear parameters related to the fractal behaviour of the HRV signal, two classes have gained wide interest in the last years: the beta exponent based on the 1/f-like relationship...

Abstract The feasibility of using nano-cryptomelane for elimination cobalt and cesium metal ions from their single binary solutions was studied. In this respect, the material prepared characterized to confirm its chemical composition structure. Results illustrate that synthesized has a tunnel structure with particle size ranged between 4 6 nm. detected by conducting series batch experiments det...
