the rice conversion process is an agricultural transformative industry that consumes a great deal of fossil fuel and electricity. in this study, the effect of different factors on energy consumption, energy consumption index and whitening index were investigated. the experimental design was a split plot design with four whitening periods (15, 30, 45, 60s) (main plot), three rice varieties (khaz...

rheological characteristics of al2o3, cuo and tio2 nano particles were investigated in oil asthe base fluid at 1 and 2 wt.%. constitutive relations for non-newtonian fluid were discussedbased on the power-law model. measured viscosities of each nanofluid were used to evaluatethe power-law and consistency index. results indicated that the nanofluid viscosity decreasedby increasing the concentrat...

-Highly significant differences are observed between the methyl derivatives of attapulgite, produced when this mineral is reacted with (CHz)zSi(OCzHs)2, in the presence or in absence of HCI. In the first case, the corresponding infrared spectra show characteristic absorption bands due to the Si(CH3)z radicals at 1260, 850 and 800cm -a as well as a shoulder at 960cm -t, the latter assigned to si...

Several cell types display binding sites for [~zSI]urokinase (Vassalli, J.-D., D. Baccino, D. Belin. 1985. J. Cell Biol. 100:86-92) which in certain cases are occupied with endogenous urokinase. These sites appear to focus urokinase at cell surfaces and hence may participate in tissue matrix destruction and cell invasion. Recently P611~inen et al. (1987) demonstrated that the cell surface uroki...

hansen et‎. ‎al.‎, ‎using the autographix software ‎package‎, ‎conjectured that the szeged index $sz(g)$ and the‎ ‎wiener index $w(g)$ of a connected bipartite graph $g$ with $n geq ‎4$ vertices and $m geq n$ edges‎, ‎obeys the relation‎ ‎$sz(g)-w(g) geq 4n-8$‎. ‎moreover‎, ‎this bound would be the best possible‎. ‎this paper offers a proof to this conjecture‎.

The anomuran crabs of the family Albuneidae Stimpson, 1858 are specialized forms, living buried in sand. Because of their preferred habitat, they are very rarely encountered, and thus have been poorly studied in general (Osawa & Fujita 2012). They are commonly called “Sand crabs” (Boyko 2002). Worldwide, the Albuneidae family currently includes 48 species belonging to nine genera (Boyko & McLau...

The influence of the first stars on the formation of second-generation objects at high redshift may be determined, in part, by their metal enrichment of surrounding gas. At a critical metallicity, Zcrit, primordial gas cools more efficiently by fine-structure lines of [C II] (157.74 μm), [O I] (63.18 μm, 145.5 μm), [Si II] (34.8 μm), and [Fe II] (25.99 μm, 35.35 μm) than by H I or H2 emission. ...

the total irregularity of a graph g is defined as 〖irr〗_t (g)=1/2 ∑_(u,v∈v(g))▒〖|d_u-d_v |〗, where d_u denotes the degree of a vertex u∈v(g). in this paper by using the gini index, we obtain the ordering of the total irregularity index for some classes of connected graphs, with the same number of vertices.

the atom-bond connectivity index of graph is a topological index proposed by estrada et al.as abc (g)  uve (g ) (du dv  2) / dudv , where the summation goes over all edges ofg, du and dv are the degrees of the terminal vertices u and v of edge uv. in the present paper,some upper bounds for the second type of atom-bond connectivity index are computed.
