Biosorption equilibrium, kinetics, and thermodynamics of Cu ions onto S. cerevisiae  were studied in a batch system with respect to temperature and initial ion concentration. Biosorption efficiency  increased up to Cu ion initial concentration of 75 mg/L, and then decreased…

In this study a solar driven absorption cooling system is offered for a hotel. Solar energy is only used in absorption chiller. The payback time of the offered system with different scenarios are investigated. Solar collectors and absorption chiller price…

This paper presents a new approach based on artificial neural networks (ANNs) to determine the effects of different chip breaker forms on cutting forces such as principal cutting force, feed force and passive force, in the machining of AISI 1050.…

Arsenic in the ground water is a worldwide problem as about 150 million people are at risk and more than 70 countries are suffering from this havoc. Arsenic is a carcinogen and responsible of various types of cancers. India is…

Petri nets are frequently used for modeling and analysis of discrete event systems. Similar to other modeling formalisms for discrete systems,  it suffers from state explosion. Fluidification can be used to overcome this difficulty yielding  fluid approximation of original Petri…

Occupational accidents lead to serious problems in Turkey and in many other countries. The most important results of occupational accidents are deaths, injuries or disabilities. In addition, many other important work-related accidents cause serious financial losses. As it is all…
