Abstract Steaming‐assisted conversion route, a new strategy, is first adapted for the synthesis of highly crystallized anatase TiO 2 2D inverse opal (IO) monolayer films, and then to Nb‐doped W‐doped IO films. Pure water, ammonia, or HCl solutions are used as source steaming vapor convert dry films amorphous IO, NbCl 5 /TiO , WCl 6 composite IOs into This strategy renders possible doping metal ...

This study investigates the speed-power relationship of ships, and is based on a combined econometric naval architectural data-driven model fed with operational data from more than 50,000 noon reports obtained 88 tankers. It shown that exponent significantly lower 3 at speed intervals below design speed. finding, including itself, affects environmental discussions related to slow steaming, sinc...

The individualistic effect of unit operations of production, at household level, on some antinutritional factors in selected cowpea-based food products (moin-moin, akara, and gbegiri) was investigated. Four cowpea types (IT93K-452-1, IT95K-499s-35, IT97K-568-18, and market sample) were used for the study, whereas the three traditional food products were produced from each of the cowpea types, r...

StreamTo uses tamper resistant hardware tokens to generate the key stream needed to decrypt encrypted streaming music. The combination of a hardware token and steaming media effectively brings tried and tested PayTV technology to the Internet. We provide a security analysis and present two prototype implementations with a performance assessment, showing that the system is both effective and eff...

Although many web caching techniques have been developed to improve Web performance, existing proxy caching schemes do not support the multimedia data stream well. In this paper, we briefly describe the basic characteristics of steaming media caching and traditional web caching and discuss their dissimilarities. Then, we survey the proxy caching mechanisms for multimedia data streams, and final...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Aneurysm embolization is not without risk: numerous technical aspects are considered before, during, and after the procedure. The purpose of this study was to show the position of the detachment zone of a Guglielmi detachable coil (GDC) with respect to the catheter tip for various microcatheters and marker alignments. METHODS Six types of commonly used microcatheters we...

ZSM-5-containing catalytic additives are widely used in oil refineries to boost light olefin production and improve gasoline octanes in the Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) process. Under the hydrothermal conditions present in the FCC regenerator (typically >700 °C and >8% steam), FCC catalysts and additives are subject to deactivation. Zeolites (e.g., Rare Earth USY in the base catalyst and ZSM-...

The bracken fern (Pteridium aquilinum) has been known for a long time to be poisonous to cattle (Penberthy, 1893) and horses (Muller, 1897) under farm conditions. Field cases of bracken poisoning in sheep are almost unknown; the more selective feeding habits of sheep may be responsible for their apparent immunity. Bracken poisoning has been experimentally produced in cattle (Almond, I 894), hor...
