The knowledge of the area of interfaces between phases is important to understand and quantify many flow and transport processes in porous media. In this work, we apply the interfacial tracer technique to study the dependence of fluid-fluid interfacial area on saturation and wettability. The interfacial area between the wetting and the nonwetting phases (brine and decane) in unconsolidated poro...

Abstract Dry–wet alternate constructed wetland is an effective method to remove nitrogen elements in the tail water of sewage treatment plant. According reaeration mechanism wet–dry alternative wetland, denitrification effect and influence characteristics dry–wet on plant were studied under low temperature. The results showed that removal rates each element reached 20–40% with time at 10°C. Und...

The effects of the removal of 18-MEA on the dynamic contact angle (advancing contact angle and receding contact angle) and friction force (friction force microscopy (FFM)) were examined in the present study. Chemically untreated hair tresses formed more finely ordered bundles, with the fibers aligned more parallel to each other, in the wet state, and lying flat and aligned parallel to each othe...

Flava Flavanone: Asymmetric conjugate additions to chromones and 4-quinolones are reported utilizing a single catalyst system formed in situ from Pd(OCOCF(3))(2) and (S)-tBuPyOX. Notably, these reactions are performed in wet solvent under ambient atmosphere, and employ readily available arylboronic acids as the nucleophile, thus providing ready access to these asymmetric heterocycles (see scheme).

Measurements include near forward optical scattering (providing information of cross-sectional area, and thus size, of aggregates, LISST, Sequoia Scientific), optical transmission and backscattering (WET Labs’ BB(RT)) and acoustical backscattering at 4.5MHz ( Nortek’s VECTOR). Concentrations of clays are siphoned out from the sampling volumes of the sensors and measured using suspended sediment...

NiPt hollow spheres decorated by Pt nanoparticles were synthesized by a facile wet chemical route through galvanic replacement. In situ STEM imaging and 3D reconstruction were performed to evidence the migration of Pt atoms during catalysis of CO oxidation, providing a practical insight into the structural stability of bimetallic catalysts.

BACKGROUND Persistent non-specific low back pain (PNSLBP) is one of the most frequently experienced types of back pain around the world. Wet-cupping is a common intervention for various pain conditions, especially in Korea. In this context, we conducted a pilot study to determine the effectiveness and safety of wet-cupping treatment for PNSLBP. METHODS We recruited 32 participants (21 in the ...

Removal of fly ash using wet scrubbers is widely used in the small and medium scale industries. Among the wet scrubbing methods, spray column falls into the simplest type category for its simple construction and various advantages. A novel pilot plant wet scrubber has been conceived, designed and fabricated. This paper distinctly focuses on the detailed design and fabrication of the ejector, wh...

Wet friction clutches have become widely used in today’s transmissions, e.g. automatic transmissions, dual clutch transmissions, etc. It is known that the central role of this particular component is strongly determined by its friction characteristics. While a clutch is in use, degradation inevitably takes place that consequently deteriorates its friction characteristics. However, to the author...
