in this study, different methods of separating of the microalgae from the culture medium as one of the most important and expensive steps in achieving commercial production of biodiesel from microalgae was investigated. electro coagulation-flotation (ecf) was preferred among these methods due to its process simplicity and capability to scale up. the effect of three parameters, i.e., initial ph,...

this article aims at designing the mathematical model for aras dam reservoir in time operation with missions of agriculture needs safeguarding, water electric energy production and torrent controls. reservoir system relations determinate and these relations at framework of are determined and stochastic dynamic programming are calculated executive results of this model are presentation of guides...

the basis of the ohmic heating process is the transmission of alternating electric current through multi-phase solutions that is followed by heat generation due to particle resistance to the transmitted electric current. throughout the present study, simultaneous transfer of heat and electricity was modeled in a two-phase system of solid-liquid food to investigate the critical factors affecting...

The use of electric current density imaging (CDI) to map spatial distribution of electric currents through tumors is presented. Specifically, a method previously tested on phantoms was implemented in vivo and in vitro for mapping electric current pulses of the same order of magnitude (j approximately 2500 A/m2) as in electrochemotherapy through T50/80 mammary carcinomas, B-16 melanomas and SA-1...

Label-free and real-time single-molecule detection may aid the development of high-throughput biosensing platforms. Molecular fluctuations are a source of noise that often hinders single-molecule identification by obscuring the fine details of molecular identity. In this study, we report molecular identification through direct observation of quantum-fluctuation-induced inelastic noise in single...

The Electric current density imaging technique (CDI) was used to monitor the dissolution of and ion migration from tablets of different acids in agar-agar gel. Conventional MRI cannot monitor these processes, since it can only show changes in the size of the tablet during the dissolving process. CDI traces the dissolved ions thanks to changes in conductivity.

1. This paper continues my discussion of the average characteristics of the field of geomagnetic disturbances or storms, given in two previous papers • which will be referred to as I and 2; the irregular part of magnetic disturbance is not considered. A condensed representation of the main average features of magnetic storms is given in 1 (pp. 61-72) and 2 (pp. 242-264), and evidence is describ...

The control of spiral wave parameters by electric current was investigated in the Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction. It was found that the wavelength and the period of spiral waves increase by a factor of up to 3 with electric current (both dc and ac). Using this procedure spiral waves with a period higher than the period of medium bulk oscillations were observed. It was also found that hyster...

A priori derivation for the extra free energy caused by the passing electric current in metal is presented. The analytical expression and its discrete format in support of the numerical calculation of thermodynamics in electric current metallurgy have been developed. This enables the calculation of electric current distribution, current-induced temperature distribution and free energy sequence ...

In recent years, dielectrophoresis based microfluidics systems have been used to manipulate colloids, inert particles, and biological microparticles, such as red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, cancer cells, bacteria, yeast, micro‌organisms, proteins, DNA, etc. In the current study the governing electric potential equations have been solved in the presence of cell for the purpose of ...
