In this work, polyvinylchloride (PVC) membrane prepared via casting solution technique and phase inversion method. N, N dimethylacetamide (DMAC) was used as primary solvent and Tetrahydrofuran (THF) was used as a co-solvent. The effects of parameters such as membrane thickness, evaporation time of casting film before immersion precipitation and addition of polyethylenglchol (PEG) on PVC membran...

double layer zno/sno2 thin film resistive gas sensors were fabricated by successive pvd of those oxides onto porcelain substrates. the metallic contacts were provided by electron beam evaporation of platinum onto substrates prior to deposition of the gas sensitive layers. deposits were thermally annealed at different temperatures. it was shown that the activation energy of electrical conduction...

Solvent loss due to evaporation in a drying drop can drive capillary flows and solute migration. The flow is controlled by the evaporation profile and the geometry of the drop. We predict the flow and solute migration near a sharp corner of the perimeter under the conditions of uniform evaporation. This extends the study of Popov and Witten [Phys. Rev. E 68, 036306 (2003)], which considered a s...

While recent progress in the black hole information problem has shown that entropy of Hawking radiation follows a unitary Page curve, quantum state prior time is still treated as purely thermal, containing no about microstructure hole. We demonstrate there significant regarding to time. By computing fidelity 2D boundary conformal field theory (BCFT) model evaporation, we an observer outside eva...

An interception model that links the temporal variability of rainfall with the storm-based description of the interception process is derived. Analytical formulae for long-term interception loss are obtained for precipitation with statistical characteristics derived from observations. The analysis of the results indicates that the point interception loss is controlled primarily by three time sc...

An interception model is derived that links the temporal variability of rainfall with the stormbased description of the interception process. Analytical formulae are obtained for precipitation occurrence with idealized statistical characteristics. The analysis of the results indicates that point interception loss is controlled primarily by three time scales: the mean inter-storm arrival time a,...

Field water balance measurements using monolithic lysimeters were used in validating the Cupid-DPE model for predicting water loss partitioning during sprinkler irrigation from a moving lateral system fitted with impact sprinklers and spray nozzles. The model combines equations governing water droplet evaporation and droplet ballistics with a comprehensive plant-environment energy balance model...

In this paper we compute the radiation of the massless closed string states due to the non-vanishing coupling to the rolling open string tachyon with co-dimensions larger than 3, and discuss the effect of back reaction to the motion of the rolling tachyon. We find that for small string coupling, the tachyonic matters remain in the late time, but it will completely evaporate away over a string s...
