Reactive blue-13 (RB-13) dye was removed using magnetic activated carbon (MAC) in the batch mode. The effect of the initial mass of the adsorbent (1−25 g/L), initial RB-13 concentration (10−50 mg/L), solution pH (2−12), temperature (298−333 K), and contact period (0−120 min) on the removal of RB-13 dye was explored. The isoelectric point study was also performed for determining the pH at which the net charge on the surface of MAC was equivalent to zero. The Langmuir adsorption isotherm showed the best correlation at all temperatures. The adsorption kinetics was best described by a pseudo-second-order model. Thermodynamic study concluded that the adsorption of RB-13 dye onto MAC took place exothermically and the process was spontaneous.
In recent years researchers have applied the concept of Genetic Algorithm in generation of test data for effective software testing. Several attempts have been made to develop a system to generate test data automatically. The existing such systems do not guarantee to generate test data in only feasible paths. This paper proposes a method to generate feasible test data, using Genetic Algorithm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
