During the past 30 years, more and 3D-printing techniques based on suspensions with specific rheological properties have been innovated improved. In this review, principles of dispersing controlling powders for suspension-based 3D printing are summarized. The direct ink writing (DIW) taken as an example printing. According to property requirement writing, routes how its can be manipulated summa...

Spatially explicit individual-based models are widely used in ecology but they are often difficult to treat analytically. Despite their intractability they often exhibit clear temporal and spatial patterning. We demonstrate how a spatially explicit individual-based model of scramble competition with local dispersal can be approximated by a stochastic coupled map lattice. The approximation disen...

The purpose of this paper is to investigate empirically the relationship between demand fluctuations and productivity of service industries. Specifically, by using unique establishment-level data on service industries in Japan, this paper estimates production functions for six narrowly defined personal-service industries. In almost all the examined service industries, statistically and economic...

As a versatile and valuable intermediate, furfuryl alcohol (FOL) is widely utilized in manufacturing vitamin C, perfume, fruit acid, lubricant, lysine, plasticizer, dispersing agent, resin, fuel additive, biofuel. This study aimed at the establishment of cascade catalysis biomass to FOL via hybrid approach deep eutectic solvent medium. The corn stover (75 g/L) with solid acid AT-Sn-WLS (1.2 wt%...

Novel low-dimensional thermoelectric (TE) materials suffer from poor mechanical reliability, which limits their applications, especially in mechanically harsh environments. Here, we propose a new concept, in which the novel, abundant, thermally stable TE-nanostructures are dispersed and then intimately embedded inside a protective, mechanically reliable tetragonal ZrO2 (TZP) ceramic matrix with...

We propose a mechanism for a velocity-selective device which would allow packets of cold atoms traveling in one direction through a pulsed optical lattice to pass undisturbed, while dispersing atoms traveling in the opposite direction. The mechanism is generic and straightforward: for a simple quantum kicked rotor pulsed with unequal periods, the quantum suppression of momentum diffusion (dynam...

It is demonstrated numerically that smooth three degrees of freedom Hamiltonian systems that are arbitrarily close to three-dimensional strictly dispersing billiards (Sinai billiards) have islands of effective stability, and hence are nonergodic. The mechanism for creating the islands is corners of the billiards domain.
