When incorporated in membranes, Ag0 nanoparticles are effective antifouling and antibacterial agents, arising from the presence of Ag+ ions either in solution or adsorbed onto nanoparticles. A vari...

background: in order to transfer teachers’ knowledge, the presence of students is necessary in the classroom. despite numerous studies on the causes of absence, the strategies of its reduction have not been yet investigated and this study intends to address this issue. methods: inthis cross-sectional study 401 students were participated who were selected with systematic random sampling. the stu...

Derived varieties were invented by P. Cohn in [4]. Derived varieties of a given type were invented by the authors in [10]. In the paper we deal with the derived variety Vσ of a given variety, by a fixed hypersubstitution σ. We introduce the notion of the dimension of a variety as the cardinality κ of the set of all proper derived varieties of V included in V. We examine dimensions of some varie...

In this paper, we introduce a new class of bivariate distributions by compounding the bivariate generalized exponential and power-series distributions. This new class contains the bivariate generalized exponential-Poisson, bivariate generalized exponential-logarithmic, bivariate generalized exponential-binomial and bivariate generalized exponential-negative binomial distributions as specia...
