In this study, Balanites aegyptiaca seed oil was extracted from the ground using Soxhlet extraction method with n-hexane as solvent to produce two biolubricants; one via epoxidation Lubricant (BAB-E) and other transesterification trimethylolpropane (BAB-T). Both biolubricants were characterized Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometry. The physicochemical properties, lubricity thermal properties...

Kinetics of oxidation of diethylamine (DEA) by Bromamine-B (BAB) has been investigated at in acid solution with Ru(III) as catalyst. The oxidation behavior obeys 303 K the rate law, rate 5 k [BAB] [DEA] [Ru(III)] [H1]2x where ‘x’ is less than unity indicating retardation of rate by [H]. Added halide ions, the reaction product benzenesulphonamide, variation of ionic strength and dielectric const...

Most of the available methods for selection of input-output pairings for decentralized control require evaluation of all alternatives to find the optimal pairings. As the number of alternatives grows rapidly with process dimensions, pairing selection through an exhaustive search can be computationally forbidding for large-scale processes. Furthermore, the different criteria can be conflicting n...

I report on the X-ray detection of Gl 569 Bab. During a 25 ksec Chandra observation the binary brown dwarf is for the first time spatially separated in X-rays from the flare star primary Gl 569 A. Companionship to Gl 569 A constrains the age of the brown dwarf pair to 300 − 800 Myr. The observation presented here is only the second X-ray detection of an evolved brown dwarf. About half of the ob...

We present deep observations of the nearby T-type brown dwarf binary ǫ Indi Bab in radio with the Australia Telescope Compact Array and in X-rays with the Chandra X-ray Observatory. Despite long integration times, the binary (composed of T1 and T6 dwarfs) was not detected in either wavelength regime. We reached 3σ upper limits of 1.23× 1012 and 1.74× 1012 erg s−1 Hz−1 for the radio luminosity a...

The School Breakfast Program (SBP) is one of the largest nutrition assistance programs serving school-aged children in US. It provides reimbursement to states for operation breakfast schools. Student participation SBP is, however, much lower than National Lunch (NSLP). Because missing could result hunger that then influence children's interpersonal relations and classroom behavior (i.e., discip...

Information service business becomes the predominant industry in 21st century, and eCommerce which has become the focus that all countries and large corporation compete for is being improved and perfected ceaselessly. Since China is very different from the west in social structure and culture characteristic, B2B develops slowly in China [1,2]. In order to extend ecommerce more smoothly and succ...
