The form in frontal view of the recent human facial skeleton, including the frontal bone, was simulated under the condition of uniform strength to cope with the forces in the chewing action, by using the two-dimensional frame model made of members with step-wise variable cross-sections and by using the finite element analysis method. The simulation, in which the condition was applied to the ele...

A new relative of the chrysophyte genus Chrysopodocystis was found in Tenerife and termed Guanchochroma wildpretii. This unicellular alga was most noticeably discernible from Chrysopodocystis socialis (the only species of this genus) by the presence of a cyst-like stage with a multilayered lorica, which also functions as a dispersal unit and shows secondary wall growth. Secondary expansion of l...

Turbomachinery shafting and casings typically experience axial growth during thermal transients occurring at startup, shutdown, and changes of load. This growth does not usually present difficulties during operation. However, this paper discusses four recent turbomachinery trains that experienced radial subsynchronous vibration resulting from axial misalignment. In each example, the train inclu...

www.meso.hr Introduction The traditional Croatian dry sausages are, in almost all cases, fermented sausages that undergo more or less prolonged process of smoking and drying–ripening before consumption. The most represented Croatian dry fermented sausage except for Slavonian Kulen is Slavonian homemade Sausage. Slavonian homemade Sausage is a traditional meat product from Eastern Croatia, Slavo...

The most widely used method for pyrolysing samples for hydrogen or oxygen isotopic analysis involves heating them to greater than 1300 degrees C in a helium stream passed through a glassy carbon tube in an alumina casing. There are a number of difficulties with this. Glassy carbon tubes are expensive and interaction between the carbon tube and the outer casing produces unwanted carbon monoxide ...

The aim of this paper is to introduce a novel approach for analysing the droplet formation in transonic flow. method suggested work based on combination measured data from wind tunnel by an optical measurement and image processing. A new was developed study liquid film atomization at high speed flows similar ones that can be found steam turbines. coarse droplets turbines are formed films blades...

During the development of oilfields, casings in long-term service tend to be damaged different degrees, leading poor ineffective water circulation, and wasted resources. In this paper, we propose a data-based method for predicting casing failure risk at both well well-layer granularity illustrate application GX Block an eastern oilfield China. We first quantify main control factors damage by ad...

Increasing electrode thickness is gaining more attention as a potential route to increase energy density for Li ion batteries although the realizable capacity and rate capability are usually limited by Li+ diffusion during (dis)charge, especially at increased (dis)charge rates. It remains challenging visualize quantify low atomic number chemical stoichiometry distribution inside within commerci...

Thin plates, in the form of individual panels or whole device casings, often separate noise source from its recipients. It would be very desirable if could effectively block sound transmission preventing further propagation. This is especially challenging to achieve at low frequencies. A promising approach, intensively developed recent years, employ active control methods by adding sensors and ...
