This study investigates the potential of an intelligence model namely, Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) in prediction of the Zn metal ions adsorption in comparision with two well known empirical models included Thomas and Yoon methods. For this purpose, an organic-inorganic core/shell structure, γ-Fe2O3/polyrhodanine nanocomposite with γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticle as core with average diam...

Thomas Andrews (1813-1885) performed important research in the area of thermochemistry, thermodynamics of phase equilibrium, and the nature and properties of ozone. His work on the heat of reaction between acids and bases is notable for its high technique and good numerical results, in spite of having been done at the time before the advent of the Arrhenius theory and when the law of conservati...

The following paper attempts to discuss the connection between meaning and use in language by examining how we can speak of sharing and not sharing with others. As an introduction to this theme a passage is presented and discussed from Raimond Gaita‟s book A common humanity: thinking about love truth and justice, in which he speaks of the importance of other human beings.

Building on [4], [8] and [9] we study which cardinals are characterizable by a Scott sentence, in the sense that φM characterizes κ, if it has a model of size κ, but not of κ. We show that if אα is characterizable by a Scott sentence and β < ω1, then אα+β is characterizable by a Scott sentence. If 0 < γ < ω1, then the same is true for 2אα+γ . Also, אא0 α is characterizable by a Scott sentence. ...
