Qualitative changes in the local (pore level) wetting e&ciency of a porous catalyst as a function of catalyst wettability are proposed based on monitoring the 1-D motion of the solid-liquid-gas contact line. As catalyst wettability is increased, the resulting wetting e&ciency is likely to show two distinct transitions viz., (1) a sudden decrease that is inspired by coalescence of neighboring ri...

Current airway dust ®lter technology emanates from the USA mining industry during the 1930s. It was further developed and improved by the USA military during World War II to prevent workers from inhaling very ®ne radioactive particles in the nuclear industry. These later ®lters we now recognize as high ef®ciency particulate air ®lters (HEPA). The ef®ciency of ®lters varies according to the numb...

Zinc (Zn) de®ciency is a critical nutritional problem for plants and humans in Turkey. About 14 Mha of cropped land in Turkey are known to be Zn de®cient, particularly cereal growing areas of Anatolia. In 1993, a joint research project was started in Turkey with the ®nancial support of the NATO-Science for Stability Programme to select and characterize cereal genotypes with high yield and/or hi...

Plan library's have proven their added value to the e ciency of planning. In this paper, we present results on the use of a plan library to plan repair. We show that using a relatively simple library, we can already obtain signi cant improvements in e ciency compared to plan repair without a library.

We examine a general equilibrium model with asymetrically informed agents. The presence of asymmetric information generally presents a con°ict between incentive compatibility and Pareto e±ciency. We present a notion of informational size and show that the con°ict between incentive compatibility and e±ciency can be made arbitrarily small if agents are su±ciently small informationally .

The response uniformity of a 90]290 cm2 RPC prototype working in avalanche mode has been tested using cosmic rays. The high statistics needed for the test has also been used for accurate e$ciency studies. The intrinsic detector ine$ciency free, from spacers e!ects has been measured. ( 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.
