Thermal decomposition of allyltrichlorosilane and allyltrimethylsilane at temperatures up to 1340 K were studied using flash pyrolysis coupled with molecular beam sampling vacuum ultraviolet single-photon ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (VUV-SPI-TOFMS). The initial reaction was homolysis the Si–C bond, producing •SiCl3 •C3H5 radicals. radical then underwent sequential Cl losses form...

The effects of cabbage waste (CW) addition on methane production in cow dung and corn straw co-fermentation systems were investigated. Four experimental groups, each containing 55 g of substrate, were set up as follows: 100% cow dung (C); 36% cabbage and 64% cow dung (CC); 36% straw and 64% cow dung (SC); and 18% cabbage, 18% straw, and 64% cow dung (CSC). After seven days of fermentation, the ...

We investigated the participation and performance trends of ultra-endurance triathletes from all nationalities competing in a Double Iron ultra-triathlon (7.6-km swim, 360-km cycle and 84.4-km run) from 1985 to 2010. A total of 1854 athletes participated in 92 Double Iron ultra-triathlons. The majority of the winners came from Europe with 72 victories, followed by North America with 17 victorie...

Non-rechargeable batteries with a life of 20 years and more are required today for many smart metering and AMR applications in the US. Tadiran's non-rechargeable lithium thionyl chloride batteries offer a proven life of 25 years. Kohler's new touchless commercial faucet was designed to run even 30 years on a hybrid lithium battery. Similar requirements exist for wireless sensor networks. They c...
