The equilibrium moisture content (EMC) of biomass affects transportation, storage, downstream feedstock processing, and the overall economy of biorenewables production. Torrefaction is a thermochemical process conducted in the temperature regime between 200 and 300 °C under an inert atmosphere that, among other benefits, aims to reduce the innate hydrophilicity and susceptibility to microbial d...

This white paper examines the application of managing Microsoft SQL Server in a storage environment utilizing multiple storage configurations to optimize performance costeffectiveness of storage allocations. Practical examples are provided of automated data movement between storage tiers to meet performance requirements for SQL Server databases and cost-effectiveness of EMC Symmetrix VMAXTM res...

We have applied two different simulation models for the stationary carrier transport and optical gain analysis in resonant phonon depopulation THz Quantum Cascade Lasers (QCLs), based on the semiclassical ensemble Monte Carlo (EMC) and fully quantum mechanical non-equilibrium Green’s functions (NEGF) method, respectively. We find in the incoherent regime near and above the threshold current a q...

Reverberation chambers are a promising EMC test environment which has several advantages. The set-up and design of reverberation chambers are discussed in the first part of the paper. The second part deals with their application for EMC. Several performance and comparison tests are presented and discussed which show a good reliability and reproducibility of the reverberation chamber as a test e...

Epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma (EMC) is a rare biphasic tumor accounting for less than 2% of all salivary gland malignancies. It presents as a slowly growing, asymptomatic small size mass, with ulceration of overlying mucosa in some cases. Microscopically, it is characterized by glands lined by the simultaneous presence of two different cell components, inner epithelial cells and outer myoe...

In order to gain insight into the one-dimensional turbulence (ODT) model of Kerstein [1] as it pertains to residual stress closure in large-eddy simulation (LES), we develop ensemble mean closure (EMC), an algebraic stress closure based on the mappings and time scale physics employed in ODT. To allow analytic determination of the stress the ODT model is simplified, conceptually, such that eddy ...

The typical radiating power levels of the DVB-H sites are normally between the values used in mobile and television broadcast networks. It is thus important to take into account accordingly the EMC (Electro Magnetic Compatibility) as well as the human exposure limits in the DVB-H transmission facilities. This paper presents a practical method for estimating the safety limits of human exposure a...

For many now, Workshops and Tutorials have been an important element of the technical program at annual IEEE symposia on EMC (and now EMC, Signal Integrity (SI), Power (PI)). This part consistently provides significant educational opportunities a wide range practical topics from fundamentals basic measurements to most advanced modeling simulation techniques applications even few hot tips making...

In railway applications possible interaction between power train and signalling system requires efforts to Electro Magnetic Compatibility (EMC) problems. With the progress of power device technology in recent years, it has become feasible to improve performances of power electronics systems; however EMI noise, caused by fast switching commutations in power converters, has to be managed. EMC con...

The spatially restricted activities of achaete (ac) and scute (sc) are thought to define proneural clusters of potential sensory organ precursor cells in the imaginal discs of Drosophila. These genes encode transcriptional regulators of the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) class. We have found that direct, positive transcriptional autoregulation by the ac protein and cross-regulation by sc are ess...
