in this study, effects of multi walled carbon nanotubes and temperature on rheological behavior of engine oil (10w40) have been examined. for this purpose, the experiments were carried out in the temperature range of 5-55°c for several suspensions with solid volume fractions of 0.025%, 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.25%, 0.5% and 0.75%. the viscosity of all samples was measured in the shear rate range of 666s-...

Support Vector Machines (SVMs) which is one kind of learning machines, was applied to predict the specificity of GalNAc-transferase. The examination for the self-consistency and the jackknife test of the SVMs method were tested for the training dataset (305 oligopeptides), the correct rate of self-consistency and jackknife test reaches 100% and 84.9%, respectively. Furthermore, the prediction o...

This project explores the topic of what causes respondents in a survey situation to answer more or less consistently across time to the identical political issue questions. This discussion was begun by Philip Converse in 1964, who used data from the 1956-1958-1960 American National Election Studies panel survey to put forth the idea that certain respondents were generally more consistent across...

Evaluating the assessing results' rationality for farmland quality (FQ) is usually qualitative and based on farmers and experts' perceptions of soil quality and crop yield. Its quantitative checking still remains difficult and is likely ignored. In this paper, FQ in Xiuwu County, the Northwest Henan Province, China was evaluated by the gray relational analysis (GRA) method and the traditional a...
