Wet granulation using foaming binder solution is a new approach of liquid delivery to create granules. This study compares wet granulation via foamed binder addition method and sprayed binder addition method by studying the kinetics of foam and drop penetrations into loosely packed powder beds. Foam and drop nucleation kinetics were compared by examining specific penetration time (penetration t...

Reactive Powder Concrete (RPC) is an ultra high performance concrete which has superior mechanical and physical properties. The RPC is composed of cement and very fine powders such as crushed quartz (100–600 μm) and silica fume with very low water/binder ratio (W/B) (less than 0.20) and Super Plasticizer (SP). The RPC has a very high compressive and tensile strength with better durability prope...

A case of transcobalamin II deficiency with several unique features is described. The clinical presentation was typical. except for a slightly delayed age at presentation and the occurrence of apparent neurologic dysfunction from the beginning. The unusual biochemical feature was a low serum cobalamin level (97 pg/mI). Several cobalaminbinding protein abnormalities coexisted and antedated cobal...

A patient presented at the age of 77 yr with a low serum cobalamin level. Subsequent study showed that he had persistently very low R binder (TC I) cobalamin-binding capacity in serum (< 5 ng/liter versus 213 ± 171 ng/liter in normal controls). and that almost all of his endogenous serum cobalamin was carried by TC II instead of TC I. His saliva also demonstrated virtually undetectable R binder...

We investigate numerically on the lattice the interplay of universality classes of the threedimensional Yukawa model with U(1) chiral symmetry, using the Binder method of finite size scaling. At zero Yukawa coupling the scaling related to the magnetic Wilson–Fisher fixed point is confirmed. At sufficiently strong Yukawa coupling the dominance of the chiral fixed point associated with the 3D Gro...

This paper presents a simulation model of a binder of asymmetric digital subscriber lines (ADSL). The model is developed in the Simulink environment and enables the investigation of multicarrier communication aspects in the complex system of a loop binder interconnecting the customer premises with the nearby central office. Key features of the model architecture are the update of the model bloc...
