Silica presents a particularly challenging problem to the Silica remains one of the most common and problematic components in cane sugar juice evaporator scale. The relationship between silica concentration in clear juice and its precipitation in the evaporator train is considered. Methods of reducing silica levels in clear juice through changes in the extraction conditions are investigated thr...

Volume 5, no. 6, doi:10.1128/mBio.02366-14, 2014. On page 2 (PDF), the seventh paragraph of the section headed “Risk Analysis” should read as follows: Putting all these numbers together, the select agent data suggest that a laboratory-year of experimentation on virulent, transmissible influenza virus might have an 0.01% to 0.1% chance of killing 20 million to 1.6 billion, or an expected death t...

Abstract As a complement to the traditional elements of physics laboratory, alternative strategies are sought that allow experimentation mechanical oscillations and improve understanding these phenomena by university students. Smartphones have very high quality built-in sensors, which in particular case gyroscope allows carry out oscillator experiments with excellent results. Two were implement...

As computers come to be used in more and more settings, the importance of digital signal processing increases in parallel. It has become a fundamental necessity to train both undergraduate and postgraduate engineers in this subject. The article which follows gives one approach to this teaching, a series of web-based practical sessions on signal and pattern recognition in a virtual laboratory (v...

The Edge represents a fresh approach to organizational design. It appears to be particularly appropriate in the context of modern military warfare, but also raises issues regarding comparative performance of the Edge to alternate organizational designs, including more traditional hierarchal configurations. These issues suggest that laboratory experimentation, with coherently structured controls...

Collaborative working environments for distance education can be considered as a more generic form of contemporary remote labs. At present, the majority of existing real laboratories are not constructed to allow the involved participants to collaborate in real time. To make this revolutionary learning environment possible we must allow the different users to carry out an experiment simultaneous...

The cycle of imagination and experimentation is the key for any research discoveries or pathways. The ability to imagine (hypothesis) and then test it through experimentation would yield a scientific conclusion. This process is known as a hypothesis-based research. Conversely, in a non-hypothesis-based research pathway, experimentation leads to data analysis that can be explained with the help ...

A new laboratory test bed is introduced that enables the hardware-in-the-loop simulation of the autonomous approach and docking of a chaser spacecraft to a target spacecraft of similar mass. The test bed consists of a chaser spacecraft and a target spacecraft simulator floating via air pads on a flat floor. The prototype docking interface mechanism of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agen...

Laser is an innovative tool in modern dental practice. LASER stands for ‘Light Amplification by Stimulated Emissions of Radiation”. In last 2 decades there have been explosion research studies laser application. Advances the use device prosthodontics proven beneficial. Further laboratory and clinical experimentation may determine a significant place prosthodontics. The various application conve...
