Objective(s): Multifunctional nanomedicine is the new generation of medicine, which is remarkably promising and associated with the minimum toxicity of targeted therapy. Distribution and transport of nanoparticles (NPs) in the blood flow are essential to the evaluation of delivery efficacy. Materials and Methods: In the present study, we initially designed a phantom based on Murray’s mini...

With significant increase of tomographic equipment power, demand for Prediction relative permeability prediction Predicting in porous media from digital image data. In this work, it is predicted three -phase relative permeabilities with co-applying Darcy’s and Stokes equations in two case studies, namely Bentheimer sandstone and Estaillades limestone which their micro-CT data files were downloa...

Let G = (V, E) be a digraph (i.e., a directed graph) with n vertices and m edges, and w : E → IR be a weight function on the edges. A directed cycle is closed walkC = (v0, v1, . . . , vt), where vt = v0 and (vi → vi+1) ∈ E, for i = 0, . . . , t − 1. The average cost of a directed cycle is AvgCost(C) = ω(C)/t = (∑e∈C ω(e)) /t. For each k = 0, 1, . . ., and v ∈ V , let dk(v) denote the minimum le...

nowadays, the environmental impact of transportation project and, especially air pollution impacts, are major concerns in evaluating transportation projects. based on this concern, beside definition of traditional objective functions like total travel time and total investment cost, different type of environmental related function is considered as objective function in urban network design. in ...

introduction: due to sensitiveness of flow to roughness coefficient (rc), selection of this coefficient is important in earth canals designing purposes. precision selection of this coefficient is necessary for design and operation of earthen canals purposes. overestimation of the actual amount of this coefficient will cause an underestimation for flow velocity. accordingly, sedimentation in the...
