INTRODUCTION In Japan, Pilot Plant of the HIDiC was built in 2005. It was commercial base scale and already achieved the consecutive distillation for 1000 hours. The energy consumption of the pilot HIDiC was only about 70% of that of a conventional distillation column. The HIDiC can lower reboiler and condenser load by heat exchange between rectifying section and stripping section. Therefore, i...

M.A. Lone, W.J. Edwards and R. Collins AECL Research, Chalk River Laboratories Chalk River, Ontario, Canada. KOJ lJO (613)-584-3311 Thermal neutron capture cross section of the 9%r(n,y)91 Sr reaction was measured in a D20 moderated neutron flux with an activation technique. The sensitivity of the measurement was improved by using chemical separation of 90Y from 91 Sr for reduction of the intens...

The cross section for the inclusive production of W bosons in association with jets in pp̄ collisions at √ s = 1.96 TeV using the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF II) is presented. The measurement is based on an integrated luminosity of 320 pb, and includes events with up to 4 or more jets. In each jet multiplicity sample the differential and cumulative cross sections with respect to the trans...

We report a rare injury of distal humeral epiphyseal separation in a newborn during a Caesarean section. The diagnosis was made using magnetic resonance imaging. Emergency Caesarean deliveries with considerable traction applied to extract the baby can be the risk factor of such an injury.

In the original version of this Article, Affiliation 2 was omitted for Qinghua Zhang. In addition, there were typographical errors. In the Results section under subheading 'Chromatographic separation' " The peak resolution factors (R s) of these chiral compounds were generally high than 1 except for PCB-174 and-83 " now reads: " The peak resolution factors (R s) of these chiral compounds were g...

We study the angular momentum (AM) of the arbitrary superposition of counterpropagating paraxial beams that have the same magnitude of the wavenumber. We derive compact analytical expressions for the total AM in a transverse cross section (linear AM density) and the total AM flux through the cross section. We demonstrate that whereas for the time-averaged linear AM density its separation into t...

We have quantified the distribution of filament sizes and filament separation in internal Sn type Nb3Sn strand manufactured to ITER specification. In Nb-Ti strand for the SSC we had found a clear relationship between filament cross-sectional uniformity in a given cross-section and the n-value for an entire strand, but for the Nb3Sn we are not able to find one. In these Nb3Sn strands, however, t...

The unitarity corrections effects encoded in the Glauber-Mueller approach are taken into account to calculate the differential cross sections in the DrellYan process in the rest frame. A detailed study of the Drell-Yan process in terms of the γ∗q transverse separation and the color dipole size, and of the effective dipole cross section, is performed and compared with the available small x data....

Duplex capillary columns with a packed and an open section are widely used in electrochromatography (CEC). The duplex column configuration leads to non-uniform voltage drop, electrical field distribution and separation performance. It also adds to the complexity in understanding and optimizing electrochromatographic process. In this study, we introduced a simplex column configuration based on s...
