As dimensions of MOS devices have been scaled down, new reliability problems are coming into effect. One of these emerging reliability issues is aging effects which result in device performance degradation over time. NBTI (Negative biased temperature instability) and PBTI (Positive biased temperature instability) are well known aging phenomenon which are limiting factors for future scaling of d...

showing the occurrence of glass/rubber transition in bovine serum albumin (a globular protein) atlow moisture levels and the occurrence of maillard crosslinking in gelatin in previous works, the importanceof the state of glass or rubber of bsa on the rate and extent of polymerisation, protein solubility, colour andsds page patterns in the presence and absence of ascorbic acid, diketogulonic aci...

in this study, effect of exogenous putrescine on maintaining postharvest quality and antioxidant compounds of two broccoli cultivars, ‘general’ and ‘liberty’ during cool storage were investigated. broccoli branchlets were treated with 0.5, 1 and 1.5 mm putrescine. distilled water was used as control. treated florets were put into polyethylene bag and transferred to storage with 0°c and 90% rh. ...

abstract in order to study the effects of soil texture and temperature on atrazine degradation, an experiment was conducted in completely randomized design with factorial arrangement and 3 replications. experimental factors included, soil texture (sandy loam and silty clay), temperature(10, 20 and 30 oc) and 4 incubation periods(0, 20, 40 and 60 days). soil was spiked with atrazine at a rate of...

Biomass is one of the most important sources of renewable energy. One aim of Biomass gasification is to convert a solid feedstock into a valuable syngas for electricity or liquid fuel production. Actual industrial auto-thermal gasification processes achieve a production of syngas mainly polluted by products such as dust, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide and tars. Tars remain, one of the main dra...

The degradation of 2-chlorophenol (2-CP) by persulfate was investigated. The kinetics of persulfate oxidation of 2-chlorophenol in aqueous solutions at various pH, oxidant concentration, temperature, Fe2+ and Cu2+ ions content was studied. Maximum of 2-CP degradation occurred at pH 8. The oxidation rate of 2-CP increased with increasing the persulfate molar excess. The degradation process was s...

A review of studies furnace processes in industrial furnaces has shown that there is a sufficient number for high-temperature and medium-temperature furnaces. However, an insufficient understanding low-temperature low-power One the most important factors working process ovens, contrast to significantly lower level temperature inhomogeneity. For example, heating ovens machine-building industry, ...

In this study, Bio-based carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have received considerable research attention due to their comparative advantages of high level stability, simplistic use, low toxicity and overall environmental friendliness. New potentials for improvement in heat transfer applications are presented due to their high aspect ratio, high thermal conductivity and special surface area. Phonons have ...
