Culture extends biology in that the setting of development shapes the traditions that individuals learn, and over time, traditions evolve as occasional variations are learned by others. In humans, interactions with others impact the development of cognitive processes, such as sustained attention, that shape how individuals learn as well as what they learn. Thus, learning itself is impacted by c...

The catalytic cracking method of PAHs for the pyrolysis gaseous products is proposed to control their pollution to the environment. In this study, the Py-GC-MS is used to investigate in situ the catalytic effect of CaO and Fe2O3 on the 16 PAHs from Pingshuo coal pyrolysis under different catalytic temperatures and catalyst particle sizes. The results demonstrate that Fe2O3 is effective than tha...

The kinetics of alkane cracking in zeolites MFI and FAU have been simulated theoretically from first principles. The apparent rate coefficient for alkane cracking was described as the product of the number of alkane molecules per unit mass of zeolite that are close enough to a Brønsted-acid site to be in the reactant state for the cleavage of a specific C-C bond and the intrinsic rate coefficie...

In this paper, the cyclic fatigue hysteresis loops of 2D woven SiC/SiC ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) at elevated temperatures in steam have been investigated. The interface slip between fibers and the matrix existing in matrix cracking modes 3 and 5, in which matrix cracking and interface debonding occurred in longitudinal yarns, is considered as the major reason for hysteresis loops of 2D w...

Sunlight heats the greenhouse air temperature and tomato cracking decreases marketable product up to 90%. A shade screen reduced incoming radiation during warm and sunny conditions to reduce tomato cracking. A fuzzy controller managed greenhouse irrigation to reduce tomato cracking using as variables solar radiation and substrate temperature. The embedded controller presented 9 rules and three ...

Abstract The manganese-boron alloy 22MnB5 is particularly used for structural and safety-relevant parts in the automotive industry. Parts made from this are usually produced using hot forming process. Here, sheet heated to over 950 °C an industrial roller hearth furnace. then simultaneously formed quenched a cooled tool with temperature gradient of more than 27 K/s. This leads formation martens...

At present, the common protection technology of power-transmission and transformation equipment is mainly coating hot-dip zinc protection. However, due to low adhesion epoxy zinc-rich coating, poor compatibility with top paint, environmental pollution, complex processing, high energy consumption other defects process, its development limited. In view above deficiencies, new anti-corrosion mater...

A cold work tool steel with varied number of layers was deposited on a substrate hot for hard-facing by directed energy deposition technique. This study deals the defects and microstructure in as-cladded steels. Defects, including pores cracks, were found zone, which increased building height or deposited. Large irregular mainly located at lower regions layers. The formation this type attribute...

Abstract Simulation of heavy oil thermal cracking process is very important but few researches have been published now. In this paper, a simulation framework based on the carbon number-based approach(CNCA) has been established. A systematic division rule is put forward for dividing cracked products into 59 carbon number components. Then the cracking reaction network has been structured and the ...
