Subdisciplines: Biocatalysis and Enzymology, Molecular Catalysis for Organic Synthesis, and Heterogeneous Photocatalysis A a comprehensive catalysis journal, jointly “owned” by the vast array of researchers studying molecules and materials that catalyze reactions, the scope of ACS Catalysis is understandably quite broad. In this regard, the editorial team has stated that the journal seeks the t...

H-rotor Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) is one of the most efficient energy suppliers which have been investigated in many recent types of research. The aim of this work is to study the aerodynamic performance of a doubled-row H-Darrieus VAWT. First, an ordinary three-bladed VAWT with NACA4415 profile is simulated by means of 3D computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and results are compared to a...

1. Introduction It has been theoretically shown that backward waves can be supported not only by double-negative materials with simultaneous negative permittivity and permeability [1] but also by uniaxial anisotropic single-negative slabs with a negative component of permittivity or permeability tensor [2]. The uniaxial anisotropic single-negative materials are potentially advantageous in row l...

Relational data are often represented as a square matrix, the entries of which record the relationships between pairs of objects. Many statistical methods for the analysis of such data assume some degree of similarity or dependence between objects in terms of the way they relate to each other. However, formal tests for such dependence have not been developed. We provide a test for such dependen...

Increasing level of carbon dioxide CO2 due to industrial activity is primarily cause of global warming. Planting Artoplex lentiformis can help to reduce atmospheric CO2 buildup partly replacing use of fuels and by carbon storage. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of row spacing on carbon storage. A split- plot design with three replications included three row spacing (2×2...

A field experiment was conducted to assess the optimum inter- and intra-row spacing on growth, yield and yield component of Roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) in 2014/15 cropping season at Wondo Genet Agricultural Research Center experimental site (at Wondo Genet station). Two inter-row spacing (60 and 90 cm) and three intra-row spacing (30, 60 and 90 cm) were evaluated using two varieties, WG-Hi...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to determine biomechanical differences in cyclic elongation and ultimate strength between double-row rotator cuff repair and single-row repair for partial rotator cuff repairs. METHODS We randomly assigned 18 immature bovine specimens (aged 12 to 16 weeks) to 3 repair groups (6 per group). A 1 x 2-cm defect was created at the infraspinatus tendon insertio...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the usefulness of multidetector-row computed tomography(CT) in the evaluation of reperfused myocardial infarction. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eleven rabbits were subjected to 90-min occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery followed by reperfusion. Multidetector-row CT was performed 31 hours+/-21 after the procedure and pre and post-contrast multiphase helical...

High dimensional data visualization is critical to data analysts since it gives a direct view of original data. We present a method to visualize large amount of high dimensional data. We divide dimensions of data into several groups. Then, we use one icon to represent each group, and associate visual properties of each icon with dimensions in each group. A high dimensional data record will be r...
