Scale-free Universal Spectrum for Atmospheric Aerosol Size Distribution for Davos, Mauna Loa and Izana [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Atmospheric flows exhibit fractal fluctuations and inverse power law form for power spectra indicating an eddy continuum structure for the selfsimilar fluctuations. A general systems theory for fractal fluctuations developed by the author is based on the

Controlling Particulates and Dust in Vacuum Systems [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2020
Particulates and dust can limit accelerator performance in various ways. In this paper the basic properties and mechanisms of contaminations due to particulates are described. With this knowledge countermeasures can be implemented to minimize degradation due to particulates inside the accelerator vacuum systems.

Stand-off runaway electron beam termination by tungsten particulates for tokamak disruption mitigation [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
Stand-off runaway electron termination by injected tungsten particulates offers a plausible option in the toolbox of disruption mitigation. Tungsten is an attractive material choice for this application due to large electron stopping power and high melting point.

Characterizing rare fluctuations in soft particulate flows [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications 8, No. 11 (2017), 2017
Soft particulate media include a wide range of systems involving athermal dissipative particles both in non-living and biological materials. Characterization of flows of particulate media is of great practical and theoretical importance. A fascinating feature of these systems is the existence of a critical rigidity transition in the dense regime ...

The low-temperature geochemical cycle of iron: From continental fluxes to marine sediment deposition [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Suspended sediments from 34 major rivers (geographically widespread)and 36 glacial meltwater streams have been examined for their variations in different operationally-defined iron fractions; FeHR (iron oxides soluble in dithionite), FePR (iron soluble ...

Current Trends and Future Perspective for Cold Spray Metal‐Ceramic Composites

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The use of cold spray (CS) technology for creating cermet deposits, combining ceramic and metallic components, is advancing rapidly. Cermets offer excellent temperature handling and erosion resistance for diverse applications. This review outlines the current state of the art, focusing on the deposition dynamics and strategies to optimize the ...

Investigation into dustiness on Veisiejai-Viktarinas-Paliepiai gravelled road treated with calcium chloride

open access: yesMokslas: Lietuvos Ateitis, 2011
The main problem related to gravelled roads is their dustability during the warm season of the year. Bituminous emulsion and calcium chloride are among the most popular and widespread materials used to reduce dustiness in Lithuania.

Fabrication of metal matrix composites under intensive shearing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Current processing methods for metal matrix composites (MMC) often produces agglomerated reinforced particles in the ductile matrix and also form unwanted brittle secondary phases due to chemical reaction between matrix and the reinforcement. As a result
