the solubility of co2 in the primary, secondary, tertiary and sterically hindered amine aqueous solutions at various conditions was studied. in the present work, the modified kent-eisenberg (m-ke), the extended debye-hückel (e-dh) and the pitzer models were employed to study the solubility of co2 in amine aqueous solutions. two explicit equations are presented to evaluate the concentration of h...

Purpose Determine which posterior uveal melanoma (PUM) size classification with three categories has the best prognostic discrimination. Methods Single-institution study of 424 consecutive patients with PUM. The tumor's largest basal diameter (LBD), smallest basal diameter (SBD), and thickness (TH) were estimated by fundus mapping and ultrasonography. Tumors were assigned to "small," "medium,...

Hyung-Myung Kim Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) Department of Electrical Engineering 373-1 Kusong-Dong, Yusong-Gu Taejon 305-701 South Korea Abstract. The authors derive an adaptive version of cubic convolution interpolation for the enlargement or reduction of digital images by arbitrary scaling factors. The adaptation is performed in each subblock (typically L3L rect...

the objective of this study was to determine the relationship between body weight (bw) and heart girth (hg) in sardi and timahdite sheep in order to develop a prediction equation of bw from hg. the data used for this study included 476 records on bw and hg (227 in sardi and 249 in timahdite) collected on males and females of different ages in 33 private farms. the bw and the hg averaged 34.8 ± ...

Real and bounded elliptic solutions suitable for applying the KhareSukhatme superposition procedure are presented and used to generate superposition solutions of the generalized modified KadomtsevPetviashvili equation (gmKPE) and the nonlinear cubic-quintic Schrödinger equation (NLCQSE).

Results of theseissues showed the effects of mortality and immigration, human and animal species, environmentaldegradation,...

purpose: to evaluate the effect of age, sex, type of surgery, extent of retinal detachment (rd), vitreous incarceration in wound, and myopic degeneration on the rate of retinal redetachment following rd surgery using eternal weibull regression analysis. methods: we performed a survival analysis on a multi-center randomized controlled trial conducted on patients with pseudophakic or aphakic rd t...

In this study, at the first stage, the rupture criterion of bubbles wall in Aluminum metal foam liquid was investigated by using Lattice Boltzmann. The two phases modeling were accomplished by using a modified Shan-Chen model. This model was run for several bubbles in A356+3wt.%SiC melt system. Then, bubbles morphologies (virtual metallographic) for A356+3wt.%SiC foams were simulated. Results s...
