green supply chain management is an environmental approach in supply chain management that aims to decrease ecological risks in products’ life cycle. closed-loop supply chain by collecting and recycling the harmful production in nature attempts to achieve this goal. in this paper, due to different strategies in collecting products, several pricing models in two-echelon closed supply chain are p...

MCM-41 mesoporous silica is synthesized based on a self assembly method, using a quaternary ammonium template, CTAB for the adsorption of sulfur compounds from model oil (1.0 mmol/l DBT in dodecane solution). Then the adsorption capability of MCM-41 assembled on the surface of bacterium Rhodococcus erythropolis IGTS8 is examined regarding the improvement of the biodesulfurization process of...

modeling is one of the best tools for quantitative analyzing of biological systems that is helpful for understanding physiological basis of crops growth and development especially under limited water. in this study, a model was developed based on fao penman-monteith model to simulate soil water balance (swb) components and linked with wheat growth and development model, which was developed base...

in this paper, the hydrogen embrittlement of the high strength cr-si spring steel with after zn-12%ni electroplating, have been evaluated. slow strain rate test with 3.34 × 10 -6 sec -1 strain rate was performed, and the hydrogen embrittlement index of the different samples was calculated. the effect of shot peening before plating and the baking after plating and also the effect of applying a n...

water alternating gas (wag) technique is used in the petroleum industry to inject carbon dioxide (co2) into underground formations either for sequestration or enhanced oil recovery (eor) processes. co2 injection causes reactions with formation brine or aquifer and produces carbonic acid, the acid dissolves calcite and changes flow behavior significantly. modeling and investigating effects of co...

In this paper, a general elastoplastic-damage constitutive model considering the effect of strain rate has been developed. The derivation of this model has been cast into the irreversible thermodynamics with internal variables within the fundamentals of Continuum Damage Mechanics (CDM). The rate effect has been involved as an additional term into the plastic yield surface (dynamic plastic yield...

modeling of relationship between ventilation rate of buildings and sick building syndrome symptoms hosseinpoor s , gholamiborujeni f *, mohammadian y received: 22 aug, 2013 accepted: 23 oct , 2013 abstract background & aims: indoor air pollution with microbilal, chemical and physical pollutants lead to sick building syndrome (sbs). suitable ventilation of buildings, is one of the best methods t...

A scale-up design procedure, based on a new physical mass transfer (PMT) model, whichdescribes the performance, for aerobic rotating biological contactors (RBC’s) is developed. This scale-up procedure can be used to determine the disc surface area needed to prevent an oxygen limitation or to obtain a specific degree of treatment. In contrast to the empirical, and most previous RBC performance m...
