The oil (diluted bitumen)–water separation efficiency at steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) process conditions has been evaluated in a laboratory environment by using custom-built batch setup, SAGD field fluids and commercial gas condensate as diluent. key parameters investigated are solvent amount, shear conditions, water-to-oil ratio, the presence wettability of fine solids. results demon...

Purpose Although few studies indicate that financial concerns matter to social entrepreneurs, the literature is unclear about extent which a motive affects intention start new enterprise. Moreover, prior research suggests enterprise heavily depends on societal context in operates. Therefore, this study aims examine seminal model of entrepreneurial (SEI) developed by Hockerts (2017) different co...

Abstract: The vocalization source level distributions and pulse compression gains are estimated for four distinct baleen whale species in the Gulf of Maine: fin, sei, minke and an unidentified baleen whale species. The vocalizations were received on a large-aperture densely-sampled coherent hydrophone array system useful for monitoring marine mammals over instantaneous wide areas via the passiv...

The failure mechanism of silicon-based electrodes has been studied only in a half-cell configuration so far. Here, a combination of 7Li, 19F MAS NMR, XPS, TOF-SIMS, and STEM-EELS, provides an in-depth characterization of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) formation on the surface of silicon and its evolution upon aging and cycling with LiNi1/3Mn1/3Co1/3O2 as the positive electrode in a full...

With the advent of low-cost and high-performance depth sensors, the usage of threedimensional (3D) point clouds is becoming attractive and increasingly popular. Meanwhile, there is a growing demand to process and understand the 3D data. 3D scan registration is the cornerstone of several advanced 3D data processing techniques, and the odometry-free scan registration of 3D point clouds is a resea...

Introduction: Deep heated oils produce toxins that endanger people's health. The current study aims to investigate the simultaneous effect of aerobic training and Octopamine consumption on the mitophagy of brown adipose tissue after the induction of intoxication through deeply heated oil in male wistar rats. Method: 40 male wistar rats after four weeks of feedi...
