Measuring & Controlling Solids Split Using Pulverised Fuel Meters

Microtubule dynamics: Controlling split ends

The rapid switching between growth and shrinkage at microtubule ends is important for many cellular processes. Recent studies on the structure of the microtubule and on the mechanism of action of the microtubule regulators XKCM1 and OP18 have revealed how these switching events are regulated.

Measuring densities of solids and liquids using magnetic levitation: fundamentals.

This paper describes an analytical system that uses magnetic levitation to measure densities of solids and water-immiscible organic liquids with accuracies ranging from +/-0.0002 to +/-0.02 g/cm(3), depending on the type of experiment. The technique is compatible with densities of 0.8-3 g/cm(3) and is applicable to samples with volumes of 1 pL to 1 mL; the samples can be either spherical or irr...

A survey into the respiratory effects of prolonged exposure to pulverised fuel ash.

Previous studies of respiratory disorders in workers exposed to pulverised fuel ash (PFA) have been confined to radiological effects that were found to be minimal. The present survey included 268 men (88% of the defined population) with a history of more than 10 years exposure to PFA in six power stations in the south east of England. Respiratory questionnaires with full occupational histories ...

The Evaluation of Waste Tyre Pulverised Fuel for NOx Reduction by Reburning

Controlling Variability in Split-Merge Systems

We consider split-merge systems with heterogeneous subtask service times and limited output buffer space in which to hold completed but as yet unmerged subtasks. An important practical problem in such systems is to limit utilisation of the output buffer. This can be achieved by judiciously delaying the processing of subtasks in order to cluster subtask completion times. In this paper we present...
