In this study, novel polyvinyl chloride (PVC) ultrafiltration mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) containing high aspect ratio anatase titania (ANT) and hydrous manganese oxide (HMO) nanoparticles were synthesized in order to decontaminate cadmium and copper metal ions. ANT and HMO nanoparticles with various loadings in a range of 5-15 were used in the casting solution of MMMs. The characterization of fabricated MMMs was carried out with respect to the structural morphology, hydrophilicity, and composition by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), water contact angle, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), respectively. With an increase in the nanoparticle loadings, the change in other membrane characteristics such as mean pore size, pure water flux, and porosity were also evaluated. The results revealed that the mean pore size and water flux increased at a higher loading of ANT and HMO nanoparticles, while the contact angle and porosity of the membranes showed reverse trends. Moreover, the higher flux of pure water was obtained for PVC-ANT MMMs compared to PVC-HMO MMMs because of the larger mean pore size, higher porosity, and hydrophilicity of PVC-ANT MMMs. In this study, the decontamination of cadmium and copper metal ions in single and binary systems of heavy metals was investigated and the effect of Mn2+ (as an interfering ion) was also studied. The evaluation of the metal ion removal data demonstrated that the affinity sequence of both the PVC-ANT-15 and PVC-HMO-15 MMMs for heavy metal removal was Cu2+ > Cd2+ > Mn2+ in the single and binary systems. It was found through ultrafiltration (UF) experiments that PVC-ANT MMM was the most efficient membrane in the elimination of heavy metals due to the superior ANT adsorption capacity. However, the overall findings disclosed that both ANT and HMO nanoparticles are suitable candidates for the preparation of MMMs used in cadmium and copper decontamination from aqueous solutions. 相似文献
Suppliers’ evaluation is a subject, which has attracted the attention of many researchers. The performance of potential suppliers is evaluated against multiple criteria rather than considering a single factor such as cost or quality. One of the major objectives of suppliers’ evaluation is to determine the optimal quota assigned to each supplier while needing to replenish an order. This problem has been studied by many researchers as a multi-objective problem. The usual objectives are minimizing the purchasing cost, rejected units, and late delivered units. However, in a few researches maximizing the evaluation scores of the selected suppliers is considered as fourth objective. In this paper, we present a model with five objectives including minimizing the transaction costs of purchasing from suppliers as well as the four addressed objectives. We convert the model to a single objective one using the well-known weighting method, solve it utilizing two meta-heuristic algorithms, and analyze the efficiency of the heuristics. The reason why we utilize the meta-heuristic algorithms is that the problem is proved to be an NP-hard one. 相似文献
Negative bias temperature instability (NBTI) and hot-carrier induced device degradation in accumulation-mode Pi-gate pMOSFETs have been studied for different fin widths ranging from 20 to 40 nm. The NBTI induced device degradation is more significant in narrow devices. This result can be explained by enhanced diffusion of hydrogen at the corners in multiple-gate devices. Due to larger impact ionization, hot-carrier induced device degradation is more significant in wider devices. Finally, hot-carrier induced device degradation rate is highest under stress conditions where VGS = VTH. 相似文献
Device performance characteristics are investigated for different surface orientation and doping concentration on accumulation-mode p-type and inversion-mode n-type MuGFETs. Short-channel effects and drain breakdown voltage are better is carrier transport is in the (1 0 0) direction than in the (1 1 0) direction. This is due to the larger Si/SiO2 interface roughness, the higher density of interface state at (1 1 0) surfaces, and to the difference of effective mass. The mobility in PMOS devices, however, is much higher in the (1 1 0) direction than that in the (1 0 0) direction. For better performance of device, our results show that optimized fin orientation can improve device stability and performance. 相似文献
Two-dimensional shear flow over a rotating circular cylinder is investigated using lattice Boltzmann method. Simulations are
performed at a fixed blockage ratio (B = 0.1) while the Reynolds number, nondimensional shear rate (K) and absolute rotational speed range as 80 ≤ Re ≤ 180, 0 ≤ K ≤ 0.2 and −2 ≤ β ≤ 2, respectively. To verify the simulation, the results are compared to previous experimental and numerical data. Quantitative
information about the flow variables such as drag and lift coefficients, pressure coefficient and vorticity distributions
on the cylinders is highlighted. It is found that, generally, with the increment in |β|, the absolute value of time average lift coefficient increases and time average drag coefficient decreases, and beyond a
certain magnitude of β, the vortex shedding vanishes. It is also revealed that the drag coefficient decreases as the Reynolds number increases while
the effect of the Reynolds number on lift is almost negligible. At the end, correlations for drag and lift coefficients ([`(CD )] ,[`(CL )]){(\overline {C_D } ,\overline {C_L })} are extracted from the numerical data. 相似文献
The magnitude of the optical sheet conductance of single-layer graphene is universal, and equal to e2/4? (where 2??? = h (the Planck constant)). As the optical frequency decreases, the conductivity decreases. However, at some frequency in the THz range, the conductivity increases again, eventually reaching the DC value, where the magnitude of the DC sheet conductance generally displays a sample- and doping-dependent value between ??e2/h and 100 e2/h. Thus, the THz range is predicted to be a non-trivial region of the spectrum for electron transport in graphene, and may have interesting technological applications. In this paper, we present the first frequency domain measurements of the absolute value of multilayer graphene (MLG) and single-layer graphene (SLG) sheet conductivity and transparency from DC to 1 THz, and establish a firm foundation for future THz applications of graphene. 相似文献
A modified version of Boosted Mixture of Experts (BME) is presented in this paper. While previous related works, namely BME, attempt to improve the performance by incorporating complementary features of a hybrid combining framework, they have some drawback. Analyzing the problems of previous approaches has suggested several modifications that have led us to propose a new method called Boost-wise Pre-loaded Mixture of Experts (BPME). We present a modification in pre-loading (initialization) procedure of ME, which addresses previous problems and overcomes them by employing a two-stage pre-loading procedure. In this approach, both the error and confidence measures are used as the difficulty criteria in boost-wise partitioning of problem space.
