Geosimulation models are used in various domains to make projections for a set of scenarios, characterizing different future story lines. An impact assessment is applied on the results hereof to compare scenario outcomes with respect to given indicators. The impact assessment, however, does not represent the complete solution space of indicator values, meaning that it is unclear how optimal the...

Colloidal dispersions of platinum nano-particles have been synthesized by the reduction of platinum ion(IV) in the hightemperature and high-pressure water, ethanol, and water–ethanol mixtures in the presence of the protective polymer of poly(Nvinyl-2-pyrrolidone) (PVP). The syntheses have been tested at various temperatures (from 100 to 300 ◦C) and pressures (from 5 to 25 MPa). The diameter and...

The effects of ethanol, given either intragastrically or intravenously, on the sphincter of Oddi was evaluated by endoscopic manometry. In 12 subjects intragastric ethanol (150 ml of 32%) was given over 10 minutes. In five control subjects saline solution (150 ml of 0.9%) was given intragastrically instead of ethanol. In five other subjects ethanol was infused intravenously (6 ml/kg of 10%) for...

Two types of stable, highly localized Faraday resonant standing waves with multiple crests and troughs are observed in an ethanol-water solution partly filled in a Hele-Shaw cell vertically oscillated with a single frequency. Systematical experiments are performed to investigate the properties of these oscillons. It is found that the wave height of these oscillons is independent of fluid depth ...
