Intraocular light scatter is modeled through a stratified medium. It is shown that the eye lens possesses properties of an interference filter. In conditions that may mimic opacification, as found with cataract formation, such a filter may have stop zones with reflectance up to 1 in the band of visible light.

In the recent decades, water scarcity has become a major challenge for many reasons, especially the inadequate use of water resources. The mineral processing plant is among the most important water-consuming industries. Filtration, as one of the important processes in water recovery, is a process in which the solid-suspended particles are removed from the liquid. In the present work, the effect...

In this paper, first we study the semi maximal filters in linear $BL$-algebras and we prove that any semi maximal filter is a primary filter. Then, we investigate the radical of semi maximal filters in $BL$-algebras. Moreover, we determine the relationship between this filters and other types of filters in $BL$-algebras and G"{o} del algebra. Specially, we prove that in a G"{o}del algebra, any ...

in this paper, we discuss the equivalent conditions of pretopological and topological $l$-fuzzy q-convergence structures and define $t_{0},~t_{1},~t_{2}$-separation axioms in $l$-fuzzy q-convergence space. {furthermore, $l$-ordered q-convergence structure is introduced and its relation with $l$-fuzzy q-convergence structure is studied in a categorical sense}.

based on a complete heyting algebra, we modify the definition oflattice-valued fuzzifying convergence space using fuzzy inclusionorder and construct in this way a cartesian-closed category, calledthe category of $l-$ordered fuzzifying convergence spaces, in whichthe category of $l-$fuzzifying topological spaces can be embedded.in addition, two new categories are introduced, which are called the...

In the present study, dormancy and germination requirements were investigated in seeds of Citrullus colocynthis (L.). Seeds were subjected to 10 pretreatments in the present study.  These pretreatments included hot water (100° C) followed by the seeds placed between double layered filter paper moistened with 5 ml of distilled water and kept at 28 - 30 °C, sulphuric acid (98% v/v), for 30 min fo...

Consider L being a continuous lattice, two functors from the category of convex spaces (denoted by CS) to the category of stratified L-convex spaces (denoted by SL-CS) are defined. The first functor enables us to prove that the category CS can be embedded in the category SL-CS as a reflective subcategory. The second functor enables us to prove that the category CS can be embedded in the categor...

high levels of turbidity and suspended solids are the major disadvantages of aerated lagoons. aerated lagoon effluent filtration was investigated by horizontal roughing filter (hrf). removal efficiencies were determined by examining total phosphorus (tp) and total kjeldahl nitrogen (tkn) from hrf influent and effluent, simultaneously. hrf pilot system located on effluent pump station of qom was...
