Thermo-active structures exchange heat with the ground to provide thermal energy buildings. Consequently, is subjected changes in temperature, inducing thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) interactions within soil. To insights into origin and manifestations of main mechanisms taking place complex fully THM-coupled finite element (FE) analyses, simple, one-dimensional problems are firstly analysed this...

Hydrolysis could contribute to the loss of trihalomethanes (THMs) in the drinking water at elevated temperatures. This study was aimed at investigating THM hydrolysis pertaining to the storage of hot boiled water in enclosed containers. The water pH value was in the range of 6.1-8.2 and the water temperature was varied from 65 to 95 °C. The effects of halide ions, natural organic matter, and dr...

In the present research, charging carbon composite briquettes (CCB) in a blast furnace (BF) was investigated. The CCB used contained 29.70 wt.% Fe3O4, 39.70 wt.%, FeO, 1.57 iron, 8.73 gangue, and 20.30 carbon. Its reaction kinetics BF examined by nonisothermal tests modeled. Thereafter, influence of replacing 10% ore with on performance studied numerical simulations. Results showed that behavio...

The Trojan Horse Method (THM) represents an indirect path to determine the bare nucleus astrophysical S-factor for reactions among charged particles at energies. This is achieved by measuring quasi-free cross section of a suitable three-body process. method also suited study neutron-induced reactions, especially in case radioactive ion beams. A comprehensive review theoretical as well experimen...

This paper presents a coupled thermal-hydraulic-mechanical (THM) model for simulating failure processes in geological media. The coupling between stress/strain and heat transfer describing how thermal expansion affects stress is based on the theory of thermo-elasticity. Additionally, fluid flow pore-pressure governed by Biot's consolidation theory. Stress/strain-dependent porosity/permeability/...

INTRODUCTION The rarity of thymomas and lack of multi-institutional studies have hampered therapeutic progress for decades. To overcome this, the members of the International Thymic Malignancy Interest Group created a worldwide retrospective database. This database was analyzed regarding the demographic and geographic distribution of thymomas and the impact of different variables on survival an...

BACKGROUND Increased risk of various congenital anomalies has been reported to be associated with trihalomethane (THM) exposure in the water supply. OBJECTIVES We conducted a registry-based study to determine the relationship between THM concentrations and the risk of congenital anomalies in England and Wales. METHODS We obtained congenital anomaly data from the National Congenital Anomalie...

A collection of tannins extracted from various plant species was subjected to thermally assisted hydrolysis and methylation (THM) using tetramethylammonium hydroxide. The products obtained included 1,3,5-trimethoxybenzenes, derived from A rings of condensed tannins (CTs), and 1,2-dimethoxybenzene, 1,2,3-trimethoxybenzene, and derivatives as major products from the B ring. 1,2,4-Tri- and two tet...

PROW accepts the s p e c i f i ­ ca t i on of the program in the language of predicate ca l cu lus , decides the a lgor i thm f o r the program and then produces a LISP program which is an im­ plementat ion of the a lgor i thm. Since the construc­ t i o n of the a lgor i thm is obtained by formal theorem-proving techniq...

Let M and N be non-zero finitely generated modules over a local (Noetherian) ring (R,m). Assume that TorRi (M,N) = 0 for i >> 0, and let q = qR(M,N) be the largest integer i for which TorRi (M,N) 6= 0. For the case q = 0, Auslander [A, Theorem 1.2] found a useful formula relating the depths of M , N and R. In view of the Auslander-Buchsbaum formula [BH,Thm. 1.3.3] Auslander’s theorem goes as fo...
