Thermal Boundaries in Cone Calorimetry Testing

Testing Species Boundaries in Biodiversity Studies

A paper recently published by Phillips et al. (1996) reported a molecular genetic study of all recognized subspecies of the common snapping turtle ( Chelydra serpentina ) and concluded from patterns of geographic variation in isozyme and mitochondrial DNA restriction fragment pattern data that three evolutionary species should be recognized in this group. We suggest that this paper is fundament...

Thermal Convection between Sloping Parallel Boundaries

The effect of sloping boundaries on thermal convection is studied theoretically and experimentally in the context of a model in which fluid is contained in a differentially heated rectangular box of small aspect ratio (depth/length), inclined at an angle 8 to the vertical. Like its two limiting cases, Benard convection and convection in the vertical slot, there is a steady laminar twodimensiona...

‏‎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...

Hard Thermal Loops near the Light-cone *

In hot gauge theories, perturbation theory at the scale of the Debye screening mass requires the resummation of the so-called hard thermal loops, which corresponds to using an effective action obtained by integrating out the modes with momentum of order of the temperature. As is well-known, quantities which are sensitive to the nonperturbative magnetic screening mass still remain incalculable i...
