Partitioning a graph using graph separators, and particularly clique separators, are well-known techniques to decompose a graph into smaller units which can be treated independently. It was previously known that the treewidth was bounded above by the sum of the size of the separator plus the treewidth of disjoint components, and this was obtained by the heuristic of filling in all edges of the ...

A novel membrane based on silicon dioxide (SiO₂) and hydroxypropyl guar gum (HPG) as binder is presented and tested as a separator for lithium-ion batteries. The separator is made with renewable and low cost materials and an environmentally friendly manufacturing processing using only water as solvent. The separator offers superior wettability and high electrolyte uptake due to the optimized po...

Hydrothermal processes are promising technologies for an efficient valorization of wet biomass feedstocks or wastes. Their performance strongly depends on the composition feedstock, and methods to analyze such complex mixtures along with produced effluents in constant progress. Herein, catalytic hydrothermal gasification (cHTG) was used valorize process water from liquefaction pine wood. A deta...

In the recording of movement by means of a lever on a smoked drum, the use of a frontal writing point offers certain advantages. The lever is normal to the curve of the drum surface and terminates in a small hinge, which is tangential to this curve and supports the actual writing point. The latter usually has two arms projecting below and above the A hinge, the upper one being ibent back at an ...

The paper discusses the features of the Biomass Boiler drum water level. Conventional PID Control System can not reach a satisfaction result in nonlinearity and time different from Biomass Boiler Drum Water Control System. In this study, a kind of fuzzy self-adaptive PID controller is described and this controller is used in biomass boiler’s drum water level control system. Using the simulink t...

A new β-NMR/β-NQR setup is developed to study nuclear magnetic dipole moments and electric quadrupole moments at the LISE fragment separator at GANIL. Two key elements make the new design very powerful: the homogeneous magnet and the strong radio-frequency amplifier. The combination of both makes it possible to examine a broad spectrum of magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole moments. Several...

The study is designed to determine the relationship between the progress of the wet form of age-related macular degeneration and the activity of the visual cortex examined using functional magnetic resonance imaging. Ten patients with the wet form of age-related macular degeneration (9 female and 1 male) with a mean age of 74.7 years (58-85 years) at various stages of bilateral involvement of t...

The performance of the electric submersible pump (ESP) significantly affected by Gas Void Fraction (GVF). Thus, using of a Rotary Gas Separator (RGS) is a suitable solution for this issue. The performance of the RGS is function of different parameters such as geometry of impeller, rotating speed, boundary conditions, media viscosity and GVF. In this study, the influences of GVF, viscosity, ...

Owing to their increased dispersion magnetic analysers with inhomogeneous magnetic fields may be useful for various applications e. g. nuclear spectroscopy, mass spectroscopy, and isotope separation. This inhomogeneity may be aquired by conically shaped pole faces. BOERBOOM and T A S M A N gave an analytical treatment of these fields, which allows the calculation of aberrations for particles al...
