a r t i c l e i n f o Keywords: Loose agglomerates Breakage Discrete element method Fine particles This paper presents a numerical study of the breakage of loose agglomerates based on the discrete element method. Agglomerates of fine mannitol particles were impacted with a target wall at different velocities and angles. It was observed that the agglomerates on impact experienced large plastic d...

Propranolol (PL), a non-selective beta-blocker, is a cardiovascular drug widely used to treat hypertension. The present study was concerned with assessing the cytogenetic effects of this drug on Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell line. MTT assay was then carried out to determine the cytotoxicity index (IC50) of the drug. The IC50 value of PL was 0.43±0.02 mM. To investigate the clastogenic effect...

Nowadays, life activists are inseparable from technological advances, everything they cannot be separated the help of improving this advanced study to see and examine function software on Sibelius, not numbers converted block notes. The musicians still use manual convert these scores, because used using digital patterns. Sibelius' makes it easy for music conductors or creators explore their ins...

To counter a perceived increase in multi-piece fracturing of wood baseball bats, Major League Baseball implemented standards to regulate the quality used making professional-grade bats. These specifications included minimum density as function species and standard related slope grain (SoG). Following implementation these 2008, there was 65% reduction failure rate. It is hypothesized that furthe...

A first principles model of a cement grinding circuit is developed for the purpose of multi-variable model predictive control (MPC). The model is based on a series of mixed flow reactors with an ideal screen to model flow between the two chambers in the ball mill. The separator is modelled by efficiency curves. Breakage of the particles is modelled as a first order process in terms of functions...
