Utilization of Ultrasonication as a Method of Reducing Organic and Inorganic Contamination in Post‐Consumer Plastic Film Waste

open access: yesMacromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.
Post‐consumer single‐used plastic film (SUPF) waste often carries organic/inorganic contaminants, challenging recycling processes and affecting the quality of recycled products. This study compares the efficiency of friction, ultrasonic‐assisted, and a combination of both washing techniques on film samples collected from material recovery facilities ...

Effects of induction coil parameters of plasma torch on the distribution of temperature and flow fields

open access: yesAlexandria Engineering Journal, 2021
This paper aims to disclose how the induction coil parameters affects the temperature and flow fields of the inductively coupled plasma (ICP) torch. For this purpose, a numerical model was established for the balanced discharge of the ICP torch based on ...

Status of the TORCH time-of-flight project [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2018
TORCH is a time-of-flight detector, designed to provide charged pi/K particle identification up to a momentum of 10 GeV/c for a 10 m flight path. To achieve this level of performance, a time resolution of 15 ps per incident particle is required. TORCH uses a plane of quartz of 1 cm thickness as a source of Cherenkov photons, which are then focussed ...

First Step in Theoretical Approach in Study of Mars and Titan Atmospheres with an Inductively Coupled Plasma Torch [PDF]

open access: yesRadiation of High Temperature Gases in Atmospheric Entry, Heraklion : Gr\`ece (2008), 2009
To obtain the modelling of an ICP torch that can be used as a test case, we have to determine all the thermodynamic properties and transport coefficients. To calculate the data we have first to determine the composition and the collisions integrals for all the species in the purpose to calculate the transport coefficients.

Analysis of Interactions Between Pyomelanin and the Extracellular Matrix in an Ex Vivo Turkey Tendon Model

open access: yesChemistryOpen, EarlyView.
Polymerization of homogentisic acid in the presence of extracellular matrix (ECM) components (an ex vivo turkey tendon model) yields simplified versions of biologically generated melanins in the ECM, facilitating studies of melanin–ECM interactions. A variety of techniques (X‐ray diffraction, microscopy, and spectroscopy) were employed to understand ...

Reciprocity towards nature in the biodiversity science–policy interface

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The notion of reciprocity between humans and the rest of the living world is receiving increasing attention in the environmental sciences and science–policy international bodies. Here we first discuss different meanings of reciprocity, then we discuss this notion in relation to the conceptual framework of the Intergovernmental Platform on ...

COVID‐19 and the Meaning of Crisis

open access: yesDevelopment and Change, Volume 53, Issue 6, Page 1151-1176, November 2022., 2022
ABSTRACT Crisis is a concept that has a long history; it has come to denote moments of rupture and to foreground life and death decisions necessary for its resolution. The recent deployment of the concept in broad social, economic and political spheres has not only given rise to an industry of crisis management but has also established it as a ...
