Potassium carbonate promoted, Ga3+ substituted hydrotalcites reported here exhibit very high, selective and reversible CO2 capture from an exhaust gas mixture. The 10% Ga3+ substitution improved the CO2 capture from 0.3 ...

This paper presents a genetic algorithm model for the cost optimization of composite beams based on the load and resistance factor design (LRFD) specifications of the AISC. The model formulation includes the cost of concrete, ...

Artificial neural networks (ANNs) and genetic algorithms (GA) are considered among the latest tools that are used to solve complicated problems that cannot be solved by conventional solutions. The present study utilizes ...

In this paper, we will develop a numerical technique for finding the eigenvalues of fourth-order non-singular Sturm–Liouville problems. We used the variational iteration methods as a basis for this technique. Numerical ...

In this paper, we propose several relay selection schemes for cooperative diversity systems with adaptive transmission. The proposed schemes are based on dual-hop relaying with multiple relays. We analyze the performance ...

In this paper we consider and propose some confidence intervals for estimating the mean or difference of means of skewed populations. We extend the median t interval to the two sample problem. Further, we suggest using the ...

Despite the fact that different administration routes and delivery systems have been used for interleukin-2 (IL-2) delivery, little has been reported regarding the most efficient strategies used to deliver IL-2 in a nontoxic, ...

Much confusion has developed on the issue of Islam and gender, Islam as a religion is seen to give preference to one gender over the other. This has been particularly realized in dealing with issues which are of concern ...

تسهم الخدمات التطوعية بدور كبير في بناء كثير من الحضارات و المجتمعات على مر العصور. حيث انها لا تمثل مهنة وبصفتها عملاً خالياً من الربح يقوم به مجموعة من الأفراد من اجل الغير. وتأخذ أشكالا وانماطاً متعددة منها الذاتية ومنها ...

Many private universities around the world sustain their growth and retain students through a system of ‘cost-sharing’ where fees and tuition are channelled back to students in form of financial aid. Not all students are ...
