In the present study, the heat transfer coefficients of benzene in a spiral plate heat exchanger are investigated. The test section consists of a Plate of width 0.3150 m, thickness 0.001 m and Mean hydraulic diameter of 0.01 m. The mass flow rate of water (Hot fluid) is varying from 0.5 kg sec to 0.8 kg sec and the mass flow rate of benzene (cold fluid) varies from 0.4 kg sec to 0.7 kg sec. Exp...

At physiological pH and concentrations of Mn(++) in excess of 5 x 10(-4)M, study of the Mn(++) ion movement into human red cells is complicated by physicochemical alterations of the ion itself. At concentrations below 5 x 10(x4)M, the rate of uptake bears a linear relationship to the Mn(++) concentration. The permeability constant for inward movement of Mn(++) is 2.87 +/- 0.13 (S.E.) x 10(-9) c...

Let M be a maximal subgroup of a finite group G and K/L be a chief factor such that L ≤ M while K * M . We call the group M ∩ K/L a c-section of M . And we define Sec(M) to be the abstract group that is isomorphic to a c-section of M . For every maximal subgroup M of G, assume that Sec(M) is supersolvable. Then any composition factor of G is isomorphic to L2(p) or Zq, where p and q are primes, ...

Various cationic rhenium(I) and ruthenium(II) mono- and multinuclear complexes were successfully separated by size-exclusion chromatography (SEC), using a 50:50 (v/v) mixture of methanol and acetonitrile with CH3CO2NH4 as an eluent. The logarithms of the molecular weights were accurately linear in the distribution coefficients: for linear-shaped rhenium(I) multinuclear complexes, log M(W) = -2....

introduction: the aim of this study was to investigate the morphological changes of human dentin after erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (er:yag), carbon dioxide (co2) laser-irradiation and acid-etching by means of scanning electron microscopic (sem) m ethods: 9 extracted human third molars were used in this study. the teeth were divided in three groups: first group, co2 laser with power of ...

The goal of this study was to investigate the feasibility of ultrasonographic assessment of reticuloruminal motility in 45 healthy cows. The transducers of five ultrasound machines were connected to a digital video recorder and placed simultaneously at five sites on the left side of the cows to scan the reticulorumen (reticulum; ruminal atrium; dorsal sac of the rumen; left longitudinal groove;...

BACKGROUND Impaired vascular development due to intrauterine growth retardation and postnatal-induced vascular damage by an unfavorable cardiovascular risk profile may both cause stiffer arteries in later decades. METHODS Of 524 young adults, participating in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Young Adults (ARYA) study, data on birth characteristics were obtained from the original medical records of...

Purpose: A novel image-based method for speed of sound (SoS) estimation is proposed and experimentally validated on a tissue-mimicking ultrasound phantom normal human liver in vivo using linear curved array transducers. Methods: When the beamforming SoS settings are adjusted to match real tissue’s SoS, image at regions interest will be focus quality optimal. Based this principle, both were used...

• pseudo-code for the different algorithms (Sec. B); • a proof of convergence (Sec. C); • a more detailed look at the impact of the trimming parameter in TGA (Sec. D); • some thoughts on statistical efficiency in the context of Fig. 6 in the paper (Sec. E); • an empirical verification of Theorem 2 stating that the Grassmann Average conincides with PCA for Gaussian data (Sec. F); • an empirical ...
