Abstract We explored the combined effect of two flame retardants (FR) containing phosphorus—ammonium polyphosphate (APP) and resorcinol bis(diphenyl phosphate) (RDP)—on fire performance coated carbon fibre–reinforced composites. prepared epoxy gelcoats with 10% total phosphorus content different ratios APP RDP characterised by DSC, TGA, rheometry, limiting oxygen index, UL-94 test mass loss cal...

Mechanical testing of glass-fibre-reinforced composite (GFRP) plates made twill fabric and a thermoplastic recyclable infusion resin is presented. The considered resin, ELIUM®, poly-methylmethacrylate can be infused with properly tuned vacuum techniques, in the same manner as all liquid resin. Tensile, flexural, drop-dart impact tests were carried out to assess mechanical properties composites ...

The structure of QCD vacuum can be studied from first principles using the latticeregularized theory. This line of research entered a qualitatively new phase recently, wherein the space-time structure (at least for some quantities) can be directly observed in configurations dominating the QCD path integral, i.e. without any subjective processing of typical configurations. This approach to QCD v...

An important constraint on how hemodynamic neuroimaging signals such as fMRI can be interpreted in terms of the underlying evoked activity is an understanding of neurovascular coupling mechanisms that actually generate hemodynamic responses. The predominant view at present is that the hemodynamic response is most correlated with synaptic input and subsequent neural processing rather than spikin...

objective: the main objective pursued in this paper is to investigate the energy consumption for drying of potato slices using vacuum-infrared drying method. methods: drying of potato slices with the thicknesses of 1, 2 and 3 mm were conducted at vacuum levels of zero (without vacuum), 20, 80 and 140 mm [hg], infrared radiation at power levels of 100, 150 and 200 w in the three repetition. resu...

Optimum filling ratio as an important parameter has a great effect on the heat performance of pipes. Especially for micro pipes with only hundreds microliters internal volume, their optimum ratios are hard to be obtained without accuracy order microliter magnitude. This paper simulated process water working fluid, and change regularities pressure, velocity volume fraction liquid were investigat...
