Abstract By-products and wastes generated by the oil gas industry must be properly managed treated. Oil-drilling cuttings (ODCs) are major during process of oil/gas exploration extraction. ODCsispre-treated in a sonicator mixing it with synthetic seawater pre-specified composition at varying volume ratios, presence anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) various concentrations (0%, 0.2...

Immersion in hot baths is an infrequently recognized cause of reflex epilepsy. Two such cases are described. Increased awareness of unusual forms of reflex epilepsy is necessary as this may have important prognostic and therapeutic implications.

Nobody, so far as I know, has collated and set down the achievements of physicians from the West Country, though they form a galaxy as bright as any. Our only claim to some of these great men is that they were born in this part of England; but it was in the West Country that others, and not the least distinguished, practised, pioneered and made their names. The best known is surely Edward Jenne...

We study the controllability of a central spin guided by a classical field and interacting with a spin bath and show that the central spin is fully controllable independently of the number of bath spins. Additionally we find that for unequal system-bath couplings even the bath becomes controllable by acting on the central spin alone. We then analyze numerically how the time to implement gates o...

zn-co electrodeposits have attracted interest because of their significantly higher corrosion resistance in comparison with pure zinc. in this research the influence of bath temperature and electrolyte’s co 2+ concentration on the morphology and composition of the zn-co coatings, electrodeposited on an aisi1018 steel substrate from a weakly alkaline glycine solutions, has been studied. sem and ...

We calculate the entanglement-assisted and -unassisted channel capacities of an exactly solvable spin star system, which models the quantum dephasing channel. The capacities for this non-Markovian model exhibit a strong dependence on the coupling strengths of the bath spins with the system, the bath temperature, and the number of bath spins. For equal couplings and bath frequencies, the channel...

Single photon counting time distributions obtained from single molecule photon arrival trajectories are employed in the theoretical study of multistate kinetics coupled to a two-state jump bath. The bath time scale may be extracted from statistical analysis of oneand two-point time-domain optical measurements. The amplitude and shape of the distribution of interphoton arrival times reflects bat...

The Nakajima–Zwanzig generalized quantum master equation provides a general, and formally exact, prescription for simulating the reduced dynamics of a quantum system coupled to a quantum bath. In this equation, the memory kernel accounts for the influence of the bath on the system’s dynamics. The standard approach is based on using a perturbative treatment of the system–bath coupling for calcul...

Graphene was dispersed using a tip sonicator and the effect of surfactants were analysed. Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate (SDS) and Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) were compared to observe whether or not they had any effect on any de-wrinkling, and secondly whether they aided to achieve better dispersions. There is a huge demand for wrinkle free graphene as this will greatly increase its usefulness in various ...

Abstract: The possibility of vanadium carbide coating formation on AISI L2 steel was studied in molten salt bath containing 33 wt% NaCl- 67 wt% CaCl2. In this research, the effects of time, temperature and bath composition on growing layer thickness were studied. The vanadium carbide coating treatment was performed in the NaCl-CaCl2 bath at 1173, 1273 and 1373 K temperatures for 3, 6, 9 hours a...
