the lethality of pulsed ultra-violet (uv) rich light for the inactivation of pathogenic bacteria has been investigated. a low pressure xenon filled flash lamps that produced uv intensities have been used. the pulsed operation of the system enable the release of electrical energy stored in the capacitor into the flash lamp within a short time and produces the high current and high peak power req...

Distributions of electromagnetic fields and induced forced flow inside a metal melt are crucial to understand the grain refinement driven by pulsed magneto-oscillation (PMO). In present study, PMO-induced in Ga–20wt%In–12wt%Sn liquid have been systematically investigated performing numerical simulations corresponding experimental measurements. The confirmed magnetic According simulated distribu...

In this work, we study the features of spatial kinetics installation as a hybrid thorium reactor with an elongated plasma neutron source based on magnetic trap. The active zone under consists assembly hexagonal fuel blocks unified design and long solenoid high-temperature column passing through axial region core. Combining engineering expertise in creating nuclear reactors physics-technical pot...

introduction: granuloma faciale is an uncommon inflammatory dermatosis which usually affects the face and is often resistant to treatment. case report: a 39-year-old english lady with fitzpatrick skin phototype ii presented with typical lesions of granuloma faciale, confirmed on biopsy, on her cheeks and nose. treatment with scleroplus pulsed dye laser (candela corporation, wayland, mass) produ...

A number of recent studies have suggested that the main functional role of the product of the immune response (Ir) genes is in the process of antigen recognition by the T lymphocyte. The observation in the accompanying report that the interaction of macrophage-associated antigen with immune T lymphocytes requires that both cells share histocompatibility antigens raised the question as to whethe...

Abstract Transition metal aluminium nitrides produced by physical vapour deposition are widely used as hard, protective coatings in the manufacturing industries. To optimise wear resistance while maintaining fracture toughness, an understanding of mechanisms linking microstructure and orientation-dependent behaviour is required. (V,Al)N were synthesised direct current high power pulsed magnetro...

this paper focuses on using the recently developed extended finite element model for buckling analysis of edge cracked columns under concentric axial load. the effect of crack depth and its location on the carrying capacity of columns is studied. the effect of different boundary conditions is also investigated. numerical examples are offered to show the efficiency and effectiveness of the propo...
