A hierarchical and scalable microfluidic device constructed from a combination of three building blocks enables highly controlled generation of multicomponent multiple emulsions. The number, ratio and size of droplets, each with distinct contents being independently co-encapsulated in the same level, can be precisely controlled. The building blocks are a drop maker, a connector and a liquid ext...

Theoretical aspects of multicomponent superconductivity and systems with competing interactions are studied using Monte Carlo techniques. Motivated by recent experimental and theoretical results of complex structure formation of vortices in multicomponent systems, possible vortex structure formations due to vortex interactions that are not purely attractive or repulsive are considered. Vortex s...

A simplified spray environment is used to represent the multicomponent nature of liquid fuels and to examine the sensitivity of their vaporization behavior to the various liquidand gas-phase models. Liquid-phase models are the diffusion limit, the infinite diffusion, and the vortex. Gas-phase models are the Ranz-Marshall correlation and the axisymmetric model. Three subsets of equations are sol...

This report documents a Fortran computer code package that is used for the evaluation of gas-phase multicomponent viscosities, thermal conductivities, diiusion coeecients, and thermal diiusion coeecients. The package is in two parts. The rst is a preprocessor that computes polynomial ts to the temperature dependent parts of the pure species viscosities and binary diiusion coeecients. The coeeci...

This paper concerns multicomponent texture classification. The aim is to provide a flexible model when wavelet subband coefficients of components do not have the same distributions. Example of such case is when color textures are represented in a perceptual color space. In this kind of representation, the separability between luminance and chrominance components have to be considered in the mod...

A comparison of the mass spectral response for myoglobin, cytochrome c, and lysozyme is presented for laser electrospray mass spectrometry (LEMS) and electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). Analysis of multicomponent protein solutions using nonresonant femtosecond (fs) laser vaporization with electrospray postionization mass spectrometry exhibited significantly reduced ion suppressi...

Multicomponent application paradigms have gained prominence in many significant multidisciplinary scientific applications. In this work, we propose a software strategy called dynamic component extension for multicomponent applications to improve application performance by minimizing processor idling. In this strategy, the processor space of a component is dynamically extended to include the pro...

C filtering algorithms learn from the ratings of a group of users on a set of items to find personalized recommendations for each user. Traditionally they have been designed to work with one-dimensional ratings. With interest growing in recommendations based on multiple aspects of items, we present an algorithm for using multicomponent rating data. The presented mixture model-based algorithm us...

BACKGROUND Delirium is a complex neuropsychiatric syndrome that is common among elderly inpatients. It has been associated with increased mortality, longer hospital stays, cognitive and functional decline and increased institutionalisation rates. Multicomponent interventions, a series of non-pharmacological strategies frequently handled by nursing staff, might be useful for prevention. OBJECT...

The concept of multicomponent reactions (MCR) [1] has been around in organic chemistry since the very early days. Indeed, the first example known in literature, the Strecker synthesis of α-aminonitriles [2], has been developed into an industrial process for the production of methionine in an annual scale of several hundreds of thousand tons per year. In addition, a lot of syntheses of heterocyc...
