We have studied the refining effects of refining agents and ultraviolet transmitting property of soda lime glass, for the purpose of developing ultraviolet transmitting glass with soda lime glass composition which is one of an inexpensive glasses. It was found that for glass that requires ultraviolet transmitting property, antimony oxide, which is commonly used as a refining agent, cannot be us...

Fruits of Citrus aurantifolia were subjected to hydro-distillation using Clevenger type apparatus to obtain volatile oil. Chemical composition of volatile oil was analysed by GC–MS. Twenty-two compounds representing...

Acid and metalliferous drainage (AMD) is broadly accepted to be a major global environmental problem facing the mining industry, requiring expensive management and mitigation. A series of laboratory-scale kinetic leach column (KLC) experiments, using both synthetic and natural mine wastes, were carried out to test the efficacy of our pyrite passivation strategy (developed from previous research...

Lime production is a process that entail complex material and energy transport and chemical reaction. Efficient lime production processes are realized via well structured design models approach . Simulation of such process design models essentially provides Information on the attractive features and technical limitations of such processes which serves as guide for normal operations. The choice ...

In order to investigate the mechanical properties of lime mudstone, conventional triaxial compression tests under different confining pressures (0, 5, 15 and 20 MPa) are performed on lime mudstone samples. The test results show that, from the overall perspective of variation law, the axial peak stress, axial peak strain and elastic modulus of lime mudstone tend to gradually increase with increa...

BACKGROUND The main protective role of antioxidants in the progression of atherosclerosis has been shown in some studies. Therefore, this project evaluated the effects of Citrus aurantifolia (Christm) juice and peel on antioxidant activity and atherosclerosis progression in rabbits receiving a hypercholesterolemic diet. METHODS Forty white New Zealand male rabbits were randomly allocated to f...

Objective. Survey research posits that Mexican Americans’ perceptions of the costs and benefits of immigration drive their opinions about immigration, but this research does not provide a clear picture of how Mexican Americans calculate these costs and benefits. This article aims to understand the processes that explain how Mexican Americans calculate the costs and benefits of Mexican immigrati...

In this paper we argue that the notion of transiently shared tuple space, originally introduced by the Lime model and middleware to support application development in mobile ad hoc networks, can be successfully applied also to wireless sensor networks (WSNs). While the two scenarios are similar, the peculiar constraints posed by the WSNs (e.g., in terms of resources and energy) require non-triv...

Lime granule quality inspection is an important task in the pulp and paper industry. In this paper a new method, build-up on a neural network and a path search method, is introduced for lime granule automatic visual inspection. Several correction steps to Landau’s method are also introduced.
