a simple and sensitive method is described for the pre-concentration by cloud point extraction followed by atomic absorption spectrometric determination of copper ion in real samples. at a solution ph of 5.5, 5, 5-diphenylimidazolidine-2, 4-dione (phenytoin) (dfid) and tritonx-114 were used as hydrophobic ligand and non-ionic surfactant. the adopted concentrations for dfid, triton x-114 and hno...

Engineering analysis requires the prediction of (say, a single) selected “output” se relevant to ultimate component and system performance:∗ typical outputs include energies and forces, critical stresses or strains, flowrates or pressure drops, and various local and global measures of concentration, temperature, and flux. These outputs are functions of system parameters, or “inputs”, μ, that se...

This research analyzes the performance of a distributed cloud broker in a live cloud environment, utilizing a government owned, private, federated cloud. The paper explores functioning of a distributed cloud broker that assists in the provisioning of services to geographically distributed data centers. The data centers have volunteered to federate and expose their utilization metrics to each ot...

In determining whether to admit improperly obtained real evidence, the Scottish courts have engaged in a balancing act for over 50 years, weighing the public interest in the conviction of the guilty against the rights of the accused and the civil liberties of the citizenry. The Appeal Court’s approach to this issue has not been particularly satisfactory and the result is an incoherent mass of d...

Honest-to-goodness commonsense reasoners have finite resources and hence also limited reasoning capabilities. Traditional logically complete logics therefore cannot be used to satisfactorily represent the reasoning of these agents. This observation has brought about tremendous strides in the area of limited reasoning. We mention here several such approaches. Konolige [Kon84] distinguishes three...

The exact solution of the Dirac equation with the exact boundary condition is further investigated in the present paper. We introduce the unitary principle that can be used to disclose all logic paradoxes hidden in natural science and mathematics. By the unitary principle, we show that the existence of solution of differential equation requires an important modification to the constant of angul...

Abstract. We describe an implementation of the generalized Schur algorithm for the superfast solution of real positive definite Toeplitz systems of order n + 1, where n = 2ν . Our implementation uses the split-radix fast Fourier transform algorithms for real data of Duhamel. We are able to obtain the nth Szegő polynomial using fewer than 8n log 2 n real arithmetic operations without explicit us...

Along with high sensitivity in detecting gas, the response and recovery times of semiconductor gas sensors are of considerable importance for real life applications. In most cases, the recovery time is more than the response time. At the same time, water vapor present in the ambient, is chemisorbed on the tin oxide, SnO2 surface and the water molecules dissociate into hydroxyl species, which ac...

Linear programming is one of the most important usages of operation research methods in real life, that includes of one objective function and one or several constraints which can be in the form of equality and inequality. Most of the problems in the real world are include of inconsistent and astute uncertainty, because of this reason we can’t obtain the optimal solution easily. In this paper, ...

This paper describes a computer program for high school timetabling which has completely solved an instance taken without simplification from a large and tightly constrained high school. A timetable specification language allows the program to handle the many idiosyncratic constraints of such instances in a uniform way. New algorithms are introduced which attack the problem more intelligently t...
