A facile spin cast route was developed to convert perpendicularly aligned nanorod assemblies of cadmium chalcogenides into their silver and copper analogues. The assemblies are rapidly cation exchanged without affecting ...

The high reactivity of lithium with gas molecules under ambient conditions plays a key role, negative or positive, depending on the purpose, in its wide applications. However, the underlying mechanism is still unclear. A ...

The foaming properties of fibrillar whey proteins were compared with those of native or denatured whey proteins and also with egg white protein. Whey protein foaming capacity and stability were related to protein concentration, ...

In D1.2 [1] an interim report was presented on the development of a computational model for the prediction of the initiation and growth of damage in composite bolted joints based on the stiffness reduction scheme. The ...

Predicting the electronic framework of an organic molecule under practical conditions is essential if the molecules are to be wired in a realistic circuit. This demands a clear description of the molecular energy levels ...

Currently, abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs), which are a permanent dilation of the aorta, are treated surgically when the maximum transverse diameter surpasses 5.5cm. AAA rupture occurs when the locally acting wall stress ...

In this present work, a finite volume scheme for approximating a multidimensional nonlinear agglomeration population balance equation on a regular triangular grid is developed. The finite volume schemes developed in ...

Background: Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) are local dilatations of the infrarenal aorta. If left untreated they may rupture and lead to death. One form of treatment is the minimally invasive insertion of a stent-graft ...

This study analyzes the characteristics of fines produced during the air-blown gasification of Cynara cardunculus L. in a bubbling fluidized bed. These fines are collected by means of two hot cyclones and a hot filter. The ...
