the kinetic of the heterogeneous chemical reaction of aluminum hydroxide and fluosilicic acid was studied. it was found that the diffusion of the reactants through the porous silica coating to the aluminum hydroxide surface and the interfacial chemical reaction between the diffusing reactant and aluminum hydroxide platelets control the overall reaction rate. these two phenomena were studied and...

Uninterrupted transmission in case of failure is a major concern in MPLS based networks, and path protection is an effective method for this. Existing approaches towards path protection include local and global path protection. However, they provide fixed solutions and cannot be adapted to QoS and resource constraints for various kinds of traffic. In this paper, we introduce a new approach, “se...

To meet the regulations established to limit human exposure to time-varying electromagnetic fields (EMFs) such as the International Committee on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) guidelines, thin metallic sheets are often used to shield magnetic field leakage in high power applications of wireless power transfer (WPT) systems based on magnetic field coupling. However, the metals in the...

An analysis of Environmental Protection Agency’s Chesapeake Bay Program hydrographic dataset shows that the bay responds coherently to variability in freshwater flux. Mean salinity and salinity stratification both respond to variability in freshwater flux on time scales of roughly 90 days. Stratification is also influenced by local wind forcing but on much shorter (4e5 day) time scales. The vol...

Overexploitation of groundwater resources has caused groundwater-related problems all over the world. Effective groundwater governance is a favorable guarantee for its protection and sustainable utilization. Accurate prediction of groundwater level (GWL) or depth to groundwater (GWD) plays an important role in groundwater resource management. Due to the limitations and complexity of numerical m...

Lung protection strategy as an effective treatment in acute respiratory distress syndrome

A modified ray approach isused to model the slot lens for determining V(z) and the results are compared with experiment for several materials. The slot lens is also used to obtain V(z) of ycut quartz for a number of slot orientations relative to the crystalline x axis. The Rayleigh wave velocity as a function of propagation direction is then deduced from these measurements and compared with acc...
