The present study aims at investigation of the performance of nanofibrous filter, containing magnesium oxide (MgO) nanoparticles, for bioaerosols removal from the air stream. It synthesizes two types of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and PAN/MgO nanofibers via electrospinning technique, and investigates the antibacterial properties of the produced nanofibers through disk diffusion. The air containing ...

Ω fvdxdy. There have been a lot of work related to the finite element approximation to problem (1) in the framework of both semidiscrete and fully discrete schemes. For example, some superconvergence properties of conforming linear finite element (FE) were obtained by V. Thomeé with necessary help of Ritz projection and Lin Qun with a new analysis form, i.e., an analysis for the “short side” in...

The year 2011 marks the 30th anniversary of the founding of the Pan-African Society of Cardiology (PASCAR). Throughout its brief history, PASCAR has been integral to improving the cardiovascular health of the people of Africa. During the past three decades, many African countries have been vulnerable to political and social turmoil, and PASCAR itself has been repeatedly challenged to press on w...

Polyacrylonitril (PAN)-supported chitosan (CS) nanocomposite membranes were prepared by cross-linking the CS with 3-aminopropyl-triethoxysilane (APTEOS) via sol-gel method. Pervaporative performances of the CS-SiO2/PAN membrane for dehydration of aqueous alcohol solutions were investigated. From SEM cross-sectional images of the membrane, the spongy pores and the finger-like pores we...

In this paper, we deal with the reverse isoperimetric inequality for a closed and strictly convex curve in the Euclidean plane R2 involving the following geometric functionals associated to the given convex curve: length, areas of the region respectively included by the curve and the locus of curvature centers, and the integral of the radius of curvature. In fact, a stronger and sharp version o...
