in this paper we present a method to perform flood frequency analysis (ffa) when the assumption of stationary is not important (or not valid). a wavelet transform model is developed to ffa. a full series is applied to ffa using two different wavelet functions, and then a combined method is investigated. in the combined method, all discharge data which were less than the lowest value of annual m...

density-functional theory is used to investigate sulfur dioxide physisorption inside and outside of single-wall carbon nanotube of (5,0) and (5,5). this study is conducted at b3lyp/6-31g* level of theory. sulfur dioxide molecule is studied with axis oriented parallel or perpendicular to the nanotube wall. both internal and external adsorption on nanotubes is increased with the angle of interact...

progressive loss of bone mineral density around the femora! component of total hip replacement continues to pose a threat to long term prosthetic survival. a linear study was undertaken to measure bone mineral density on a monthly basis following total hip arthroplasty in 11 male patients. the opposite femur was used as the control measurement. bone mineral density was unchanged at two months f...

stability of the π-π stacking interactions in the ben||n-substituted-coronene complexes was studied using the computational quantum chemistry methods (where ben is benzene and || denotes π-π stacking interaction, and n-substituted-coronene is coronene molecule which substituted with different number of n atoms). the results reveal simultaneous effects of structure and number of heteroatom on th...

In this study interaction of phenothiazine sulfur dye with (5, 5) armchair open-end boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) in interaction (with a length of 7 Å) was investigated. The impacts of the estereoelectronic effect associated with donor-acceptor electron delocalizations, dipole-dipole interactions and total steric exchange energies on the structural and electronic properties and reactivity of ...

in this study the chemical properties of b6c4si and c16 clusters connected vitamin c have been investigated using density functional theory (dft). nmr parameters and homo- lumo gap energy are calculated by using density functional method (b3lyp) with 6-311g* basis set. calculations show that homo- lumo gap energy of vitamin c decreases after connecting to b6c4si or c16 cluster decreasing of hom...
