Abstract The dependence of the star formation efficiency (SFE) on galactic structures—especially whether SFE in bar region is lower than those other regions—has recently been debated. We report SFEs 18 nearby gas-rich massive star-forming barred galaxies with large apparent major axes (≧75″). statistically measure by distinguishing center, end, and regions for first time. molecular gas surface ...

This article carried out the extraction of sesame oil by using three extraction techniques: supercritical fluid extraction (SFE), Soxhlet and sequential extraction. The SFE was performed using supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) as solvent and ethanol as cosolvent. Tests were performed at 20 MPa, 35°C and a flow rate of 2.5 g CO2/min with a total extraction time of 210 minutes. The Soxhlet ex...

At DOE sites, significant amounts of Job Control Waste (JCW) need to be disposed. This JCW is generated and contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) during clean-up operations. A commercial, plant-based absorbent material, “Toxi-dry”, is used extensively for decontamination and decommissioning of DOE waste sites and is classified a hazardous JCW after use. In this investigation, 1,2,4...

A combined apparatus of a supercritical CO2 extractor (SFE) and a time-of-flight mass spectrometer (TOF-MS) was developed aiming at the direct analysis of extracts. A fused-silica capillary acts as both a pressure restrictor and an effluent injection nozzle into the TOF-MS. The tip of the nozzle was narrowed by melting and abrasion so that a greater pressure drop occurred at the tip. In the TOF...

The polarity of polyurethane coats was studied on the basis of the goniometric method for determination of wetting angle values, on the basis of calculated surface free energy (SFE) values by the van Oss-Good and Owens-Wendt methods, and on the basis of polarity measurements with the use of the (1)H NMR spectra. Test polyurethanes were synthesised in the reaction of methylene diphenyl 4,4'-diis...

The behavior of SFE-171 used for food fortification was studied. The biological and nutritional properties of this new iron source are discussed in this work.

Solid phase extraction (SPE) and supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) have become established in the field of analytical chemistry over the last five years. Both techniques are alternatives to classical analytical extraction methods used to separate analytes from solid and liquid matrices. SFE is an alternative to traditional liquid-solid extraction methods, the two most common being soxhlet an...

Direct solar-to-fuels conversion can be achieved by coupling a photovoltaic device with water-splitting catalysts. We demonstrate that a solar-to-fuels efficiency (SFE) > 10% can be achieved with nonprecious, low-cost, and commercially ready materials. We present a systems design of a modular photovoltaic (PV)-electrochemical device comprising a crystalline silicon PV minimodule and low-cost hy...

in this study, the effect of tensile test temperature (148 to 673 k) on the microstructural evolutions and the mechanicalproperties of high manganese twinning induced plasticity (twip) steel with the chemical composition of fe-31mn-3al-3si (wt. %) was investigated. xrd, sem and tem were used to study the microstructural evolutions.stacking fault energy (sfe) of the alloy was also calculated by ...

Food by-products contain a remarkable source of bioactive molecules with many benefits for humans; therefore, their exploitation can be an excellent opportunity the food sector. Moreover, revalorization these to produce value-added compounds is considered pivotal sustainable growth based on circular economy. Traditional extraction technologies have several drawbacks mainly related consumption h...
