Mitigation Effects of Thermal Environment by Watering

‏‎suppression of coke formation in thermal cracking by coke inhibitors‎‏

‏‎the main purpose of this research was to:1.develop a coking model for thermal cracking of naphtha.2.study coke inhibition methods using different coke inhibitors.developing a coking model in naphtha cracking reactors requires a suitable model of the thermal cracking reactor based on a reliable kinetic model.to obtain reliable results all these models shall be solved simultaneously.for this pu...

Harsh Environments: Space Radiation Environment, Effects, and Mitigation

Watering CanMEDS flowers

We expand on the discourse related to nature surrounding Canadian medical training and the CanMEDS flower. We advance the notion that a major contributor to burnout is the increasing complexity and segregation of not only the medical profession, but society as a whole, leading to choice overload and an overemphasis on complex, data driven, rational decision making. We then propose that the key ...

Parkes RFI Environment and Mitigation

An obvious issue with a low-frequency broad-band receiver is the degree to which the science data are affected by radio-frequency interference (RFI). RFI comes in two main classes: a) relatively narrow-band quasi-steady transmissions and b) broad-band transient signals. Very strong narrowband signals can result in non-linear responses which dramatically spread the signal in frequency. Transient...

Partitioning Of Anthropogenic Watering Sites By Desert Carnivores

We investigated the role of water features as focal attractors for gray foxes (Urocyon cinereoargenteus), coyotes (Canis latrans), and bobcats (Felis rufus) in west Texas to determine if they were foci for interspecific interaction. Mixed effects models indicated that species partitioned use of water features spatially and temporally. Linear models indicated factors influencing relative activit...
