Suppression characteristics of water mist containing alkali metal compounds in natural gas explosions

open access: yesCase Studies in Thermal Engineering
The natural gas explosion in semi-constrained spaces seriously jeopardize public safety. Water mist containing additive is an important method to reduce the disaster intensity.

A comparison of enhancement techniques for footwear impressions on dark and patterned fabrics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The use of chemical enhancement techniques on porous substrates, such as fabrics, poses several challenges predominantly due to the occurrence of background staining and diffusion as well as visualisation difficulties.

Humidity‐Corrected Thermodynamic Modeling of Ammonium Chloride Crystallization Temperature Mechanisms and Application

open access: yesAsia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As refineries process increasingly inferior crude oils, ammonium salt corrosion has intensified. Accurate prediction of ammonium salt crystallization temperatures and their influencing factors is therefore crucial for safe and stable operations.

Optimization in 3D Printable Silicone DIW Ink Formulations: Gelling Behavior Control and the Use of Carbon Nanotubes

open access: yesJournal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
DIW 3D printing of silicone materials can be optimized by controlling their gelling behavior or curing mechanism with carbon nanotubes. This precision control results in high‐performance elastomer materials and is a model study for characterization methods.

DNA metabarcoding reveals greater plant diversity than morphological seed analysis of bird feces

open access: yesApplications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Fruit‐eating birds drive seed dispersal in recovering tropical ecosystems, shaping forest regeneration. Molecular techniques, such as DNA metabarcoding, enable diet analysis from feces and can provide complementary frugivory data where dispersal is infrequent, as well as aid in seed identification in hyper‐diverse regions lacking ...

Functional models from limited data: A parametric and multimodal approach to anatomy and 3D kinematics of feeding in basking sharks (Cetorhinus maximus)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Basking sharks, Cetorhinus maximus (Gunnerus, Brugden [Squalus maximus], Det Kongelige Norske Videnskabers Selskabs Skrifter, 1765, vol. 3, pp. 33–49), feed by gaping their mouths and gill slits, greatly reorienting their cranial skeletons to filter food from water.

The effect of tube diameter on vertical two-phase flow regimes in small tubes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Flow boiling flow patterns in four circular tubes with internal diameters of 1.10, 2.01, 2.88 and 4.26 mm were investigated in the present project. The experiments were conducted in vertical upward two-phase flow using R134a as the working fluid.

Patterns of understorey bird diversity across Amazonian forests: survey effort and range maps predict local species richness

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Species diversity typically increases from higher to lower latitudes, but the regional‐scale variation along this geographic gradient remains unclear. It has been suggested that species diversity throughout Amazonia generally increases westward toward the Andes, but this pattern and its environmental determinants require further investigation for most ...

Spray mist-assisted drilling of through silicon vias (TSV) using nanosecond laser: Influence of CNT nanofluid

open access: yesJournal of Materials Research and Technology
Through Silicon Vias (TSV) are crucial in semiconductor technology for vertically connecting multiple stacks in 3D packaging. High aspect ratio, smooth and slightly tapered TSVs enhance layout efficiency and void-free filling.

Passive water control at the surface of a superhydrophobic lichen [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Some lichens have a super-hydrophobic upper surface, which repels water drops, keeping the surface dry but probably preventing water uptake. Spore ejection requires water and is most efficient just after rainfall.
