Mespilus germanica (MG) and Tribulus terrestris (TT) Used as Biosorbents for Lead Removal from Aqueous Solutions: Adsorption Kinetics and Mechanisms by Majid Ehteshami, Hamidreza Zolfaghari, Marjan Salari, Ehsan Teymouri

“…In the present study, the ability of lead removal using both powders of Mespilus germanica (MG) and Tribulus terrestris (TT) seeds and optimization of the adsorption process have been investigated. Four main parameters were selected for experimental design, namely, pH, time of contact, the ratio of adsorbent to solution volume, and initial concentration of lead in solution, and the optimization of effective parameters on lead adsorption was performed based on central composite design (CCD) under response surface methodology (RSM). …”

A Generalized Shape Function for Vibration Suppression Analysis of Acoustic Black Hole Beams Based on Fractional Calculus Theory by Jun Xu, Ning Chen

“…In this paper, a generalized acoustic black hole (ABH) beam covered with a viscoelastic layer is proposed to improve the energy dissipation based on the double-parameter Mittag–Leffler (ML) function. Since fractional-order constitutive models can more accurately capture the properties of viscoelastic materials, a fractional dynamic model of an ABH structure covered with viscoelastic film is established based on the fractional Kelvin–Voigt constitutive equation and the mechanical analysis of composite structures. …”

Images of World and “Self”: Mechanism of Inclusion by A.A. Shestakov

“…The following conclusions are drawn from the obtained results: firstly, the cognitive act is initiated not by the effect of stimuli, but by putting forward the cognitive hypotheses; secondly, it is impossible to adequately comprehend the process of perception of the world by a person on the basis of strictly passive processing of sensory information, because this process relies on multi-parameter processes of reasoning, interpretation, and understanding; thirdly, the concept of empty space of subject-object relations, which is very popular in the reflexive philosophical tradition, is completely far from the reality composite social mechanics dominates here. …”
