Algebraic quantum field theory in curved spacetimes

open access: yes, 2015
This article sets out the framework of algebraic quantum field theory in curved spacetimes, based on the idea of local covariance. In this framework, a quantum field theory is modelled by a functor from a category of spacetimes to a category of ($C ...

River, Coastal and Estuarine Morphodynamics Selected papers from the 10th anniversary of the RCEM Symposium

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2020
AbstractThis Special Issue collects 17 selected contributions from participants to the 10th edition of the RCEM (River, Coastal and Estuarine Morphodynamics) Symposium, organized in Padova‐Trento (Italy) in September 2017. The series of biennial RCEM symposia has the key goal of enhancing interaction and promoting integration among the scientific ...

Investigation of the Knocking Intensity Mitigation Mechanism by Dielectric Barrier Discharge

open access: yesInternational Journal of Automotive Engineering, 2020
In our previous study, the mitigating effect of dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) on the intensity of end-gas auto-ignition was observed. In this paper, the mechanism of the effect was investigated through chemical analysis and combustion experiments ...

Discharge estimation in a backwater affected meandering river [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Variable effects of backwaters complicate the development of rating curves at hydrometric measurement stations. In areas influenced by backwater, single-parameter rating curve techniques are often inapplicable.

Endomorphisms and automorphisms of locally covariant quantum field theories

open access: yes, 2013
In the framework of locally covariant quantum field theory, a theory is described as a functor from a category of spacetimes to a category of *-algebras.

Effect of wall heat insulation on wall heat transfer mechanism in rapid compression and expansion environment

open access: yesNihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2018
Heat insulation by a wall material which has low heat capacity and heat conductivity is one of the effective ways to reduce heat transfer. By the heat insulated coating, wall temperature is fluctuated following the behavior of in-cylinder gas temperature,

Assisted reverse electrodialysis : principles, mechanisms, and potential [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Although seawater reverse osmosis (RO) is nearing its thermodynamic minimum energy limit, it is still an energy-intensive process, requiring 2–3 kWh/m³ at a recovery of 50%.

A Novel Dual Fuel Reaction Mechanism for Ignition in Natural Gas–Diesel Combustion

open access: yesEnergies, 2019
In this study, a reaction mechanism is presented that is optimized for the simulation of the dual fuel combustion process using n-heptane and a mixture of methane/propane as surrogate fuels for diesel and natural gas, respectively.

Dynamical locality of the nonminimally coupled scalar field and enlarged algebra of Wick polynomials

open access: yes, 2012
We discuss dynamical locality in two locally covariant quantum field theories, the nonminimally coupled scalar field and the enlarged algebra of Wick polynomials.

Optimization of net power density in Reverse Electrodialysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Reverse Electrodialysis (RED) extracts electrical energy from the salinity difference between two solutions using selective ion exchange membranes. In RED, conditions yielding a large net power density (NPD) are generally desired, due to the still large ...
