QuEChERS is a Quick-Easy-Cheap-Effective-Rugged-Safe extraction method that has been developed for the determination of pesticide residues in agricultural commodities. The European Standard is Method EN 15662:2008. While originally developed for plant matrices, the technique has since been adapted to be used in several applications and in many additional matrices. The rise in popularity of the ...

The SPS LSS4 fast extraction system will serve both the anti-clockwise ring of the LHC and the CERN Gran Sasso Neutrino project (CNGS). CNGS requires 2 fast extractions of 10.5 microsecond long batches, 50 milliseconds apart. Each batch will consist of 2.4 × 10 protons at 400 GeV. These intensities are factor of 10 above the equipment damage limit in case of beam loss. Active (interlock system)...

in recent years, machine vision and optical sensors, which can be used in an autonomous weed killing equipment, are being used extensively to detect weeds from crops. in this study, seven types of weeds that grow in most of the sugar beet fields in iran, especially in fars province, were considered in real outdoor conditions. several color feature extraction algorithms have also been investigat...

In the hydrometallurgical processing of complex ores/ concentrates/ secondaries/ wastes, the solutions containing different non-ferrous metals are obtained during teaching the materials in acidic, ammoniacal or alkaline lixiviants. The spent solutions and effluents are also generated in different process industries and contain metallic values. Their discharge in the sewage or river is major con...

purpose: since explosive blasts continue to cause casualties in both civil and military environments, there is a need for an understanding of the mechanisms of blast trauma at the human organ level, plus a more detailed predictive methodology. the primary goal of this research was to develop a finite element model capable of predicting primary blast injury to the lung so as to assist in the dev...

In practice, the submarine's major internal equipment is mounted to welded plating foundations, but submarine designers have been looking at the recent French innovation whereby the major internal equipment is mounted to a large truss/cradle structure through point supports. The focus of this research investigates the effects of radial point supports on the stability behavior of cylindrical she...

LVAD is a mechanical pump supporting a weak heart function and blood flow. Sometimes, the heart may not recover fast enough to take over the pumping action immediately after surgery, in such patients a temporary support device has been employed to maintain the pumping action until the patient’s own heart recovers. This device can be considered as a temporary alternative before the process of ar...

Partial discharge (PD) detection can effectively achieve the status maintenance of XLPE (Cross Linked Polyethylene) cable, so it is the direction of the development of equipment maintenance in power systems. At present, a main method of PD detection is the broadband electromagnetic coupling with a high-frequency current transformer (HFCT). Due to the strong electromagnetic interference (EMI) ge...
