Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was utilised to compare the thermal stability of pure phase change material (D-mannitol) to that of nano-enhanced PCM (NEPCM) (i.e., PCM containing 0.5% and 1% multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT)).

Cross-layer optimization in TCP/IP networks [PDF]
TCP-AQM can be interpreted as distributed primal-dual algorithms to maximize aggregate utility over source rates. We show that an equilibrium of TCP/IP, if exists, maximizes aggregate utility over both source rates and routes, provided congestion prices ...

Synthesis and Use of Amphoteric Carboxymethylcellulose Graft Copolymers in the Environmentally-acceptable Water-based DrillingFluids as a Water-sensitive Shale Stabilizer [PDF]
Water soluble amphoteric graft copolymers of polysaccharide were synthesized via grafting of cationic monomer onto the sodium carboxymethylcellulose ()CMC)( and then used as a shale stabilizer in the water-based drilling fluids.

Synthesis and characterization of hybrid organic-inorganic materials based on sulphonated polyamideimide and silica [PDF]
The preparation of hybrid organic–inorganic membrane materials based on a sulphonated polyamideimide resin and silica filler has been studied. The method allows the sol–gel process to proceed in the presence of a high molecular weight polyamideimide,

Assessment for Probability of Ship Capsizing due to Pure Loss of Stability in Quartering Seas
This study presents a theoretical method for calculating probabilities of capsising due to pure loss of stability, for a ship running in short crested waves and fluctuating wind. The aim was to develop stability criteria of a ship in quartering seas making use of the risk analysis.

Macroscopic quantum many-body tunneling of attractive Bose-Einstein condensate in anharmonic trap
We study the stability of attractive atomic Bose-Einstein condensate and the macroscopic quantum many-body tunneling (MQT) in the anharmonic trap. We utilize correlated two-body basis function which keeps all possible two-body correlations.
