A completely new crystal-growth device has been developed that permits charting a course across the phase diagram to produce crystalline samples optimized for diffraction experiments. The utility of the device is demonstrated for the production of crystals for the traditional X-ray diffraction data-collection experiment, of microcrystals optimal for data-collection experiments at a modern micro...

This study evaluated the separation efficiency and developed a pressure drop model for a multicyclone separator used for natural gas purification. The collection and grade efficiencies of a multicyclone separator with 15 single cyclone separators were evaluated at inlet velocities of 6–24 m/s and particle concentrations of 30–2000 mg/m at atmospheric pressure and room temperature. The experimen...

Reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexers (ROADMs) can be classified into three categories based on their underlying switching technologies. Category I consists of a single large optical switch; category II is composed of a number of small optical switches aligned in parallel; and category III has a single optical switch and only one wavelength being added/dropped. In this paper, to evaluate...

Triazole fungicides are systemic fungicides applied to protect crops from fungus infections. Its use must be controlled due to the potential harmful effects in environment and human health. Before determination with a chromatographic system, analyte must be isolated and preconcentrated with an extraction step. This review presents the most used microextraction techniques for those compounds in ...

The flow of liquids in unbounded geometry (i.e. without rigid boundary conditions) is encountered in jets and films. Another example is provided by the drainage of foams under gravity. The latter example has been largely investigated these last years [see e.g. Koehler, 2000; Cox, 2001; Pitois, 2005; Saint-Jalmes, 2006]. Most of previous studies consisted in macroscopic measurements performed at...

thallium is widely found in nature, but the only inorganic stones full of this element are crookesite and lorandit. it isalso found in pyrites of copper, lead and inorganic stones. the element and its compositions are toxic and harmful to theenvironment; therefore, its application requires caution and further research. it is important to develop sensitive andaccurate analytical methods to deter...
