Fluidisation as a feeding mechanism in beach flies [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1974
WE have seen groups of small (4–5 mm long) grey flies belonging to the species Lipochaeta slossonae Coquillett, 1896, standing, shaking and apparently feeding, or flying for short distances on stretches of wet sandy beach in La Jolla, California and San Felipe, Mexico.

The Influence of Operating Parameters on Adsorption/Desorption Characteristics and Performance of the Fluidised Desiccant Cooler

open access: yesEnergies, 2018
This paper concerns the issue of the proper selection of the operating parameters of the fluidised desiccant cooler. Despite the fact that fluidised desiccant cooling technology is being reported in the literature as an efficient way to provide cooling ...

Dynamical and technological consequences of multiple isolas of steady states in a catalytic fluidised-bed reactor

open access: yesChemical and Process Engineering, 2017
Steady-state characteristics of a catalytic fluidised bed reactor and its dynamical consequences are analyzed. The occurrence of an untypical steady-state structure manifesting in a form of multiple isolas is described.

Incidence and Severity of Carboplatin‐Associated Hearing Loss in Children With Cancer Assessed by the SIOP Boston 2012 Ototoxicity Criteria

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Platinum‐based chemotherapy is known to cause severe and debilitating hearing loss, but unlike cisplatin, the true incidence of carboplatin‐induced hearing loss remains unclear. We evaluated functional hearing outcomes in children receiving carboplatin to determine the incidence and severity of ototoxicity. Procedure We identified a

Behaviours of pyroclastic and analogue materials, in dry and wet environments, for use in experimental modelling of pyroclastic density currents

open access: yesVolcanica
Modelling pyroclastic density currents (PDCs) is a challenging yet essential element of hazard assessment. PDCs are unpredictable and internal processes are often difficult to measure directly.

The mechanism and effects of subgrade fluidisation under ballasted railway tracks

open access: yesRailway Engineering Science, 2020
The rapid growth in railway infrastructure and the construction of high-speed heavy-haul rail network, especially on ground that is basically unsuitable, poses challenges for geotechnical engineers because a large part of the money invested in the ...

Eulerian computational fluidisation modelling using OpenFOAM applied to a semi-industrial fluidised bed reactor and pilot plant application

open access: yesCleaner Chemical Engineering, 2023
Simulations of a fluidised bed reactor for gasification of municipal solid refuse-derived fuel were performed using OpenFOAM software. Firstly, evaluation was made of a simplified gas-solid two-phase model, considering sand and air as the components ...
