The paper summarises the results of laboratory testing of three commercially available magnetorheological (MR) fluids operated in the oscillatory squeeze mode. Tested fluids include the Basonetic 204 and Basonetic 4035 (BASF) and MRF-122EG (Lord Corporation). The oscillatory squeeze mode produces large forces at small displacements. This feature may be well utilised in fabrication of new MR dev...

In this experiment, a total of 128 Hy-line W36 hens at 63 weeks of age were used. The hens were put at random into 4 treatment groups (4 replicates and 32 hens per treatment) and were fed four different diets: three diets with different levels of Spirulina (1.5, 2.0 and 2.5%) and one control group based on wheat and soybean meal. All birds were housed in commercial cages, had ad libitum access ...

BASF says it has curtailed production of ammonia in Antwerp, Belgium, and Ludwigshafen, Germany, because a spike Europe for the price natural gas, main feedstock making ammonia. BASF’s global capacity, which includes plant US, is 1.8 million metric tons per year. Yara International recently cut its European by 40%, while CF Industries closed one two plants UK.

A noncommutative geometric generalisation of the quantum field theoretical framework is developed by generalising the Heisenberg commutation relations. There appear nonzero minimal uncertainties in positions and in momenta. As the main result it is shown with the example of a quadratically ultraviolet divergent graph in φ4 theory that nonzero minimal uncertainties in positions do have the power...

The gallides HfCoGa2 and HfNiGa2 were synthesized by arc-melting of the elements and subsequent annealing in glassy carbon crucibles. Their structures have been reinvestigated by X-ray diffraction on powders and single crystals: I4mm, a = 1222.4(1), c = 812.0(1) pm, wR2 = 0.0766, 1464 F2 values, 64 variables, BASF = 0.41(2) for HfCoGa2 and a = 1224.0(2), c = 809.3(2) pm, wR2 = 0.0609, 1499 F2 v...

Experimental Section Solvents and reagents were purchased from Merck and used as received. 1,6,7,12Tetrachloroperylene-3,4:9,10-tetracarboxylic acid bisanhydride was obtained from BASF. N,N'-Didodecylperylene-3,4:9,10-tetracarboxylic acid bisimide 2 was synthesized according to the literature. NMR spectra were recorded on a Bruker DRX 400 spectrometer using the proton signal of TMS as internal ...

The title compound, C(10)H(13)N(3)O(2)S, crystallizes with two independent mol-ecules (A and B) in the asymmetric unit. In the crystal, the A and B mol-ecules are linked via pairs of N-H⋯O and O-H⋯S hydrogen bonds, forming dimers with R(2) (2)(14) and R(2) (2)(6) ring motifs. These dimers are linked via a pair of N-H⋯S hydrogen bonds with an R(2) (2)(8) ring motif, forming chains propagating al...

As the northern hemisphere growing season gets under way, hundreds of thousands of hectares will be planted with a variety of genetically modified crops, but not in Europe: the European Commission has just granted permission for the planting of a GM variety of potato, bringing the number of allowed crops to two but many individual states will still resist them. And the potatoes will not be for ...

An organization’s management system plays an important role in the activities of enterprises. In context changes production sector, it is necessary to adapt and modernize maintain a company’s competitiveness, explains relevance research topic. Without periodic research, analyzing trends opportunities markets where business are conducted, impossible form effective model. Insider model company or...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(15)H(12)FN(3)S, consists of two independent mol-ecules with comparable geometries. In one mol-ecule, the 1,3-benzothia-zole ring system (r.m.s. deviation = 0.011 Å) forms a dihedral angle of 19.86 (6)° with the phenyl ring. The corresponding r.m.s. deviation and dihedral angle for the other mol-ecule are 0.014 Å and 22.32 (6)°, respectively. In the c...
