in this research the simulation of an air independent proton exchange membrane fuel cell (pemfc) propulsion system was taken into consideration. the system consists of several parts including pem fuel cell stack, metal hydride and liquid oxygen (lox) tanks, and also pre-heaters of oxygen and hydrogen gases along with other heat exchangers, to ensure proper operation of system. the heat recovery...

This study aimed to examine whether daily intake of citrus juice containing heat-killed Lactobacillus plantarum YIT 0132 (LP0132-fermented juice) alleviates symptoms of atopic dermatitis. This was a natural extension of our previous study in which LP0132 was shown to enhance IL-10 production in vitro and LP0132-fermented juice was found to alleviate symptoms and enhance quality of life (QOL) in...

CONTEXT Quadriceps function improves after application of focal joint cooling or transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation to the knee in patients with arthrogenic muscle inhibition (AMI), yet it is not known whether superficial heat is able to produce a similar effect. OBJECTIVE To determine quadriceps function after superficial heat to the knee joint in individuals with AMI. DESIGN Sing...

Fresh rice noodle was usually coated in a large amount of oil to avoid stickiness and extend the shelf life. Pre-treatment has been applied reduce quantity noodle. In this research, pre-treatment temperature effect on quality subjected hot air drying, heat pump freeze drying investigated. Texture, color, content, starch gelatinization dried further evaluated. Results revealed that there were si...

Abstract Due to the excellent current carrying performance of Bi 2 Sr CaCu O 8+ x (Bi-2212) and development its industrial manufacturing technology, Bi-2212 is a promising material be developed as superconductor for application in fusion reactor magnets. The cable-in-conduit conductor (CICC) concept often chosen large-scale magnets because their high stability. presently only kind copper oxide ...

The effect of T6 heat treatment on the microstructure and wear behavior of Al-332 piston alloy containing 1.2wt% iron was investigated. The results showed that the T6 heat treatment changed the morphology of acicular eutectic Si particles to a more spherical form. The heat treatment also reduced the average length and blunted the needle-like ?- phase intermetallics through dissolution and fragm...
