Air pollution is one of the major issues about the diesel engines in todays' world. It is a special concern in those areas that have difficulty meeting health-based outdoor air quality standards. Natural gas has low emission and resource abundance and also conventional compression ignition engine can be easily converted to a dual fuel mode to use natural gas as main fuel and diesel as pilot ...

Location and types of sensors may be integrated for simultaneous achievement of water security goals and other water utility objectives, such as regulatory monitoring requirements. Complying with the recent recommendations on dual benefits of sensors, this study addresses the optimal location of these types of sensors in a multipurpose approach. The study presents two mathematical models for ...

in this paper, we study spacelike dual biharmonic curves. we characterize spacelike dual biharmonic curves in terms of their curvature and torsion in the lorentzian dual heisenberg group . we give necessary and sufficient conditions for spacelike dual biharmonic curves in the lorentzian dual heisenberg group . therefore, we prove that all spacelike dual biharmonic curves are spacelike dual heli...

In this paper, we introduce the concept of $g$-dual frames for Hilbert $C^{*}$-modules, and then the properties and stability results of $g$-dual frames  are given.  A characterization of $g$-dual frames, approximately dual frames and dual frames of a given frame is established. We also give some examples to show that the characterization of $g$-dual frames for Riesz bases in Hilbert spaces is ...

Introduction: Dual-modality contrast agents, such as radiolabeled nanoparticles, are promising candidates for a number of diagnostic applications, namely SPECT imaging with MR imaging. So the aim of study was evaluating potential of Chitosan-Coated Magnetic Nanoparticles(SPION) labeled with 99mTc as new Dual-modality probes for liver Imaging. Materials and Methods:</st...

  A new computational technique is presented to find the optimal base position of dual arm robots in order to carry maximum allowable load. The maximum allowable load on a desired trajectory is limited by the number of factors such as; actuators torque limits, kinematic constraints, and kinematic redundancy of cooperative manipulators. For a dual arm robot mounted on a rail or table, load works...

Progressive collapse is a condition where local failure of a primary structural component leads to the collapse of neighboring members and the whole structure, consequently. In this paper, the progressive collapse potential of seismically designed steel dual systems with buckling restrained braces is investigated using the alternate path method, and their performances are compared with those of...

Finite element method in pavement analysis is a type of mechanistic analysis that has widely been used by road and transportation engineers these days. This method is used with related programs such as ABAQUS/CAE which is one of the powerful software on this task. Modeling in this software has been developed from 2D static models to 3D dynamic models which are closer to reality due to the more ...
