Background & Aims of the Study: Heavy metals contaminate drinking water, air and soils. It is very harmful for humans and other live organisms. Phytoremediation is one of the direct bio-remediation methods for heavy metal removal from polluted water and soils. This method is accepted environmentally, economically and aesthetically. The purpose of this study was to assess Tamari...

Direct numerical simulation data of a 24 compression ramp configuration are used to analyze the shock motion. The characteristic frequencies in the incoming boundary layer are reported for reference. The shock wave motion exhibits high-frequency spanwise wrinkling, as well as low-frequency streamwise motion. Correlations between the incoming flow and the shock motions, as well as the downstream...

Cementing systems using ultra-lightweight hollow spheres can improve lightweight cement performance in deepwater operations and provide a viable alternative to conventional lightweight cement slurries. Efforts to expand the temperature limits of MWD and LWD tools have seen limited success. New approaches may be necessary if industry is to meet the demand for gas from deep reservoirs. Mixing fra...

It is often claimed that large buyers wield buyer power. Existing theories of this effect generally assume upstream monopoly. Yet the evidence is strongest with upstream competition. We show that upstream competition can yield buyer power for large buyers by generating supplier-level volume uncertainty—a feature that emerges from case study evidence of upstream competition—so the negotiated pri...

Open channel junction is one of the most common hydraulic structures that are used in various practical situations such as sewer, drainage, and flood control systems. Knowing the fluid flow behavior, is one of the most important topics in designing the efficient open channel junctions. The complexity and deviation of flow in the junction’s zone disrupts the proper functioning of the flowmeter d...

in this research energetics of the barotropic and baroclinic development for two planetary waves over eastern mediterranean, syria and west of iran and their interaction with surface cyclones were investigated. ahmadi-givi et al. (1384) calculated and examined several selected important terms in the eddy kinetic energy (eke) tendency equation during life cycle of six troughs that were developed...

River bed sand and gravel are utilized more than mountain materials due to their availability and closeness to the transit roads and sites of usage. Excessive and non-technical extraction of gravel and sand bring a kind of interference in them, leading to many negative consequences. Therefore, presenting solutions to reduce these impacts and infilling mining pits are essential. In this researc...
