We examine statics and dynamics of phase-separated states of dilute binary mixtures using density functional theory. In our systems, the difference of the solvation chemical potential between liquid and gas [Formula: see text] (the Gibbs energy of transfer) is considerably larger than the thermal energy [Formula: see text] for each solute particle and the attractive interaction among the solute...

After the Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill began in April 2010, studies were initiated on northern Gulf of Mexico common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in Mississippi Sound (MSS) to determine density, abundance, and survival, during and after the oil spill, and to compare these results to previous research in this region. Seasonal boat-based photo-identification surveys (2010-2012) w...

This paper is about the visual requirements for reading with normal vision. It is the first in a series devoted to the psychophysics of reading with normal and low vision. We have measured reading rates for text scanned across the face of a TV monitor while varying parameters that are important in current theories of pattern vision. Our results provide estimates of the stimulus parameters requi...

We study the ground-state properties of ferromagnetic quasi-one-dimensional quantum wires using Monte Carlo (QMC) method for various wire widths $b$ and density parameters $r_\text{s}$. The correlation energy, pair-correlation function, static structure factor, momentum are calculated at high density, $r_\text{s}=0.5$. It is observed that peak in factor $k=2k_\text{F}$ grows as width decreases....

Density and distribution of Unfamiliar Lexical Items (ULIs) appear to influence learners’ Reading Comprehension Achievement (RCA). This study concerns the impact of these two variables on Iranian EFL learners’ RCA. For this, two groups of students timetabled for the experiments designed to assess learners’ RCA. To determine the participants’ levels of proficiency a Quick Proficiency Test was fi...

The extraction of protein-protein interactions (PPIs) reported in scientific publications is one of the most studied topics in Text Mining in the Life Sciences, as such algorithms can substantially decrease the effort for databases curators. The currently best methods for this task are based on analyzing the dependency tree (DT) representation of sentences. Many approaches exploit only topologi...

This study aimed at investigating the English textese of Iranian EFL learners by scrutinizing the linguistic features through a qualitative design. In doing so, 700 messages were collected from 43 MA Iranian EFL learners of both genders. The features were categorized and analyzed calculating the frequency and percentage. The findings of the study showed that Iranian EFL students used different ...
