abstract saturated water content is one of the important parameters which its measurement is necessary in estimation of soil water retention and unsaturated hydraulic conductivity curves. in several researches, saturated water content is assumed to be equal to soil total porosity. in some others, its value is estimated by pedotransfer functions using readily available parameters, such as bulk d...

A hydrodynamic permeability of membranes built up by porous cylindrical or spherical particles with impermeable core is investigated. Different versions of a cell method are used to calculate the hydrodynamic permeability of the membranes. Four known boundary conditions, namely, Happel’s, Kuwabara’s, Kvashnin’s and Cunningham/Mehta-Morse’s, are considered on the outer surface of the cell. Compa...

recently, baghery et al. [1, 2] presented some attacks on two rfid protocols, namely yoon and jung et al. protocols, and proposed the improved version of them. however, in this note, we show that the improved version of the jung et al. protocol suffers from desynchronization attack and the improved version of the yoon's protocol suffers from secret disclosure attack. the success probabilit...

introduction: surimi is one of the procedures that nowadays it is suggested to increase the consumption of fish such as silver carp (shabanpour et al., 2008). surimi is washed and minced fish meat myofibrillar concentration of proteins, this would wash out most of the soluble material in surimi (sultanbawa & li- chan, 1998). raw fish freshness and quality of the most important factors affecting...

We present the results of compositional reservoir simulation of a prototypical CO2 sequestration project in a deep saline aquifer. The objective was to better understand and quantify estimates of the most important CO2 storage mechanisms under realistic physical conditions. Simulations of a few decades of CO2 injection followed by 10 to 10 years of natural gradient flow were done. The impact of...

introduction: nutritional quality of food during storage has become increasingly an important problem. the loss of some nutrients such as ascorbic acid (vitamin c) might be a critical factor for the shelf life of some products as citrus juice concentrates, since vitamin c content of citrus juices undergoes destruction during storage (plaza et al., 2011a). ascorbic acid is an important component...
