In a previous paper, pressure drop, flooding and mass-transfer characteristics of a novel pilot-scale distillation column called spinning cone column (SCC) were presented. Here, we present the result of comparison of mass-transfer efficiencies of SCC and structured packing. Comparison of SCC and structured packing mass-transfer characteristics show that the gas and liquid-side height of transfe...

The aim of the study was to determine changes incurred by polyphenolic compounds from selected fruits in the lipid phase of the erythrocyte membrane, in liposomes formed of erythrocyte lipids and phosphatidylcholine liposomes. In particular, the effect of extracts from apple, chokeberry, and strawberry on the red blood cell morphology, on packing order in the lipid hydrophilic phase, on fluidit...

In floorplanning, it is common that a designer wants to have certain modules abutting with one another in the final packing. The problem of controlling the relative positions of an arbitrary number of modules in floorplan design is nontrivial. Slicing floorplan has an advantageous feature in which the topological structure of the packing can be found without knowing the module dimensions. This ...

The spatial arrangement of interphase chromosomes in the nucleus is important for gene expression and genome function in animals and in plants. The recently developed Hi-C technology is an efficacious method to investigate genome packing. Here we present a detailed Hi-C map of the three-dimensional genome organization of the plant Arabidopsis thaliana. We find that local chromatin packing diffe...

A new algorithm called adaptive cluster growth (ACG) for circuit packing (or detailed placement) in any rectilinear region is described; it is an analogy to the growth of a low-stress crystal in a cavity of any given shape. The algorithm ACG is suitable for the packing of circuit modules, either standard-cell or macrocell, in a rectilinear region by the refinement of a result of global placemen...

We experimentally investigate the effect of grain shape on flow granular material. The is modified to highlight circularity in a 2D rotating drum. Using laser cutter, we create particles with decreasing circularity. observe that depends rotation speed For high speed, influenced by packing’s dilatancy whereas, at low packing fraction seems influence flowing dynamics. link these two measurements ...

Because of the resemblance of many epithelial tissues to densely packed soap bubbles, it has been suggested that surface minimization, which drives soap bubble packing, could be governing cell packing as well. We test this by modeling the shape of the cells in a Drosophila retina ommatidium. We use the observed configurations and shapes in wild-type flies, as well as in flies with different num...

the crystal structure of the title schiff base complex is obtained by single-crystal x-ray diffraction data.the solid state structure determination reveals that the coordination geometry around the copper(ii) center istetrahedrally distorted square-planar. the crystal packing shows one dimensional infinite chains which arisesfrom the intermolecular interaction and stabilize the crystal packing.

Explanations of self-thinning in plant populations have focused on plant shape and packing. A dynamic model based on the structure of local interactions successfully reproduces the pattern and can be approximated to identify key parameters and relationships. The approach generates testable new explanations for differences between species and populations, unifies self-thinning with other pattern...

X-ray diffraction patterns of three-dimensional crystals of the large ribosomal subunit from Bacillus stearothemwphilus have been obtained using a synchrotron radiation beam. The patterns contain resolved diffraction spots and indicate packing in relatively small unit cells, the dimensions of which have been tentatively determined. The internal order of the crystals, as reflected in these patte...
