rice is one of the most widely human consumed agricultural products. for a prevention or diminishing of rice cracking in its milling process, precision control of drying conditions is indispensable. in this research, a thin layer experimental dryer is employed to obtain paddy’s drying kinetics. drying experiments were conducted at five inlet temperatures of drying air of 30, 40, 50, 60 and 70 °...

We report experimental observations of the propagation of a vortex ring through two liquid interfaces separating immiscible liquids. The experiments examine the effect of vortex ring strength and the thickness of the middle layer on the evolution of the flow. A wide range of phenomena is observed. In particular, we show that at some conditions the vortex ring enters the top layer without bringi...

We review the present status of the experimental and theoretical research on the proximity effect in heterostructures composed of superconducting (S) and ferromagnetic (F) thin films. First, we discuss traditional effects originating from the oscillatory behavior of the superconducting pair wave function in the F-layer. Then, we concentrate on recent theoretical predictions for S/F layer system...

Most of the researches have been concentrated on how to avoid and dissolve the network congestion, and only a few discussions on the performance improvement of the endhosts are recently made. We have already proposed a new architecture, which is called Scalable Socket Buffer Tuning (SSBT), to provide high performance and fair service for many TCP connections at the Internet endhosts. In this pa...
