Many publicly available databases exist for managing materials scientific data. These databases contain information from a wide variety of work, and the information is typically encoded in some proprietary format aimed at highlighting the goals of their particular backgrounds and purposes. In order to accelerate the rate at which new materials are discovered, these databases must be federated t...

Lignocellulosic material is the most promising feedstock for bioethanol production; however, due to the varying physicochemical characteristics of different biomasses, it is necessary to select a biomass with a composition suitable for bioethanol production. For this purpose several different alternative non-food energy crops were chosen to investigate their suitability for bioethanol productio...

Bioethanol is a strategic biofuel in Brazil. Thus, a strong metrological basis for its measurements is required to ensure the quality and promote its exportation. Recently, Inmetro certified a reference material for water content in bioethanol. This paper presents the results of these studies. The characterization, homogeneity, short-term stability and long-term stability uncertainty contributi...

this study was conducted in order to investigate the influence of plastic deformation on the transformation of retained austenite in a trip steel with a high content of al and a low content of si. to the aim, appropriate treatments were used to produce the starting material (trip steel). the microstructure of the obtained steel was composed of bainite and phases including ferrite and retained a...

Modern production control systems, e.g. a factory for cars or any other complex industrial good face two major problems. First, the systems need to become more decentralised to increase their availability. Second, the markets force the demand of smaller lot sizes and more flexibility to produce different goods in parallel. Nowadays, re-configuration of production control systems consists of two...

The influence of nature of the feed sample, feeding frequency and pore size on the influx of bacteria and protozoa into synthetic fiber bags suspended in the rumens of sheep fed different diets was studied. Counts of total culturable bacteria in bags with a pore size of 10 microns were less than 30% of the ruminal counts for animals that were fed the lucerne hay and high-roughage diets. The max...

Figure 1 to Figure 7 show the additional results of our contents-aware projection method with the results of other projection methods to compare the performance qualitatively. For clear comparison of the proposed contents-aware projection method, we collected additional 360◦ images from the web. We used automatically extracted line segments and salient points as inputs for Carroll’s method and ...

As we might expect, the chance of recovery depends very largely on two things?one, the time which elapses between perforation and operation, and, the other, the extent of extravasation of stomach contents. The following table by Robson and Moynihan2 shows the relation of the result to time of operation :? Total Cases. Recovered. Died. MortalityOperation under 12 hours . 49 35 14 28.5 ,, from 12...

The effect of dry material, glycerol and ratio of water to seed in alyssum homalocarpum films on their thickness, transparency, moisture content, tensile strength, elongation and water vapor permeability was investigated using mixture response surface methods. Dry material and glycerol were important factors influencing tensile strength, elongation and water vapor permeability. Ratio of water t...

Issue: The moisture content of a fill material will affect its compaction characteristics and needs to be evaluated during quality control of the fill operation. When the fill is drier than its optimum moisture content, any moisture in the fill serves as a lubricant and helps the relative movement of the particles when densifying under vibratory compaction. When the fill is wetter than its opti...
