the objective of this study was to diagnose integrative ecological health of an urban stream,which is located in the asian temperate region. the research approach was primarily based on the index ofbiological integrity (ibi) using fish assemblage and a qualitative habitat evaluation index (qhei). and these indexes were compared with long-term conventional chemical dataset during 1996-2005. for ...

A new Chemical and Aerosol Lagrangian Model (CALM) has been developed and tested. The model incorporates all central aerosol dynamical processes, from nucleation, condensation, coagulation and deposition to cloud formation and in-cloud processing. The model is tested and evaluated against observations performed at the SMEAR II station located at Hyytiälä (6151 N, 2417 E) over a time period of t...

In this paper, we discuss the dynamical properties of a chemical reactor model including Lyapunov exponents, bifurcation, stability of equilibrium and chaotic attractors as well as necessary conditions for this system to generate chaos. We study the synchronization of chemical reactors model via sliding mode control scheme. The stability of proposed method is proved by Barbalate’s lemma. Numeri...

reliability wiener number is a modification of the original wiener number in which probabilities are assigned to edges yielding a natural model in which there are some (or all) bonds in the molecule that are not static. various probabilities naturally allow modelling different types of chemical bonds because chemical bonds are of different types and it is well-known that under certain condition...

The effect of chemical reactions on the blast initiation of detonation in gaseous media has been investigated in this paper. Analytical method is based on the numerical solution of onedimensional reactive Euler equations. So far, analyses on the blast initiation of detonation have modeled the combustion process as a one-step chemical reaction, which follows the Arrhenius rate law. Previous stud...

the propose of this paper is to introduce a new model for crude oil fouling in preheat trains of crude distillation unit. the experimental results of australian light crude oil with the tube side surface temperatures between 200-260 oc and fluid velocity ranged 0.25 to 0.4m/s were used. the activation energy of chemical reaction depends on the surface temperature has been calculated.  the model...

In recent macro-energy systems modeling studies of net-zero emissions pathways for the United States and elsewhere, fuels made via gasification sustainably produced biomass coupled with carbon capture storage (CCS) play critical roles in achieving economy-wide greenhouse gas because they provide carbon-negative energy carriers. this study, we develop lifecycle (GHG) cost assessments to insights...
