For the first time, an unusual assemblage of talc-phengite-chlorite-K-feldspar was found in quartz schists from the Sanandaj-Sirjan zone in the Nahavand area in western Iran. The talc-bearing quartz schists occur as small ...

The first extended zeroth-order connectivity index of a graph   G is defined as 0 1/2 1 ( ) ( ) ,   v   v V G      G D      where   V   (G) is the vertex set of G, and v D is the sum of degrees ...

Loess and loess-like deposits cover large areas of Golestan province of Iran, a well-known region in the world for its high incidence rate of esophageal cancer (EC). Despite numerous published works on the possible ...

In Statistical quality control a very widely used measure is average run length (ARL) which may be worked out by different methods like integral equation, approximations, and Monte Carlo simulations. The ARL measure and ...

Life cycle assessment (LCA) is one of the decision support systems which can be considered for assessing the different approaches of Waste Management. However, it only considers environmental effects and ignores other decision ...

In this work, we apply the radial basis functions for solving the time fractional diffusion-wave equation defined by Caputo sense for                         . The problem is discretized in the time direction based on ...

The present study is aimed at assessing the ability of   Pseudomonas sp. AN29 to uptake Hg2+ from the metal contaminated environment. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MICs) of Hg   2+ was 500 μg/ml. Pseudomonas   sp. ...

Microwave energy has potential for the efficient heating of minerals. Minerals or materials, which couple to microwave energy are called dielectrics and many valuable minerals are found to be dielectric. The mineral ilmenite ...

This paper investigates the dynamics and stability properties of a discrete-time Lotka-Volterra type system. We first analyze stability of the fixed points and the existence of local bifurcations. Our analysis shows the ...
