In this study, a sodalite nanozeolite was synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electronic microscopy (SEM). Following the morphology evolution of the sodalite nanozeolite in the SEM images illustrates the formation of the spherical particle with a size between 60 and 80 nm. Then, carbon paste electrode (CPE) was modified by sodalite nanozeolite and Ni2+ ions. Th...

throughout history dams have been important structures in water storage. to avoid overtopping, damage, and or failure of a dam, adequate spillway is needed to release excess water from upstream floods. researchers found that spillways have to be made nonlinear in order to reach an economic structure with high performance. a piano key weir is one of the best solutions. piano key weirs are the mo...

Parallel text alignment is proposed as a way of aligning bahasa Indonesia to words in Javanese. Since the one-to-one word translator does not have the facility to translate pragmatic aspects of Javanese, the parallel text alignment model described uses a phrase pair combination. The algorithm aligns the parallel text automatically from the beginning to the end of each sentence. Even though the ...

Primljeno (Received): 2012-02-21 Prihvaćeno (Accepted): 2012-05-15 Original scientific paper The Nash-Sutcliffe model efficiency coefficient (ENSC) has been modified in order to assess the quality of simulations compared to observed data from the mesophilic monofermentation of grass silage. By applying the ENSC it is not only possible to find parameter sets with the best fit, but also to analyz...

sedimentation in reservoirs reduces dams storage and makes many problems in their operation. therefore accurate computation of sediment volume is essential for appropriate design and optimum reservoir management during its operation. in this research long term field data of sefid-rood dam were used to check the sediment volume computed for ghezelozan basin. the computed volume of sediment by ra...

A novel modified Ni-ZSM-5 nanozeolite was fabricated via an organic template-free hydrothermal route. The average particle size of Ni-ZSM-5 nanozeolite was calculated to be 85 nm by scanning electronic microscopy. Then, Carbon paste electrode (CPE) was modified by Ni-ZSM-5 nanozeolite and Ni2+ ions were then incorporated to the nanozeolite matrix. Electrochemical behavior of this electrode was ...

existence of acid humic in water resources is undesirable and causes carcinogenic component in disinfection process due to reaction with chlorine. due to their cost-effectiveness and higher physical resistance than activated carbon, natural zeloites are used for removing various pollutants. . in the present study, iranian natural zeolite modified with cetylpyridinium bromide (cpb) was investiga...

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a mathematical programming-based approach for evaluates the relative efficiency of a set of dmus (decision making units). the relative efficiency of a dmu is the result of comparing the inputs and outputs of the dmu and those of other dmus in the pps (production possibility set). also, in data envelopment analysis various models have been developed in order to...
