Abstract The development of new piston geometries has shown great potential to achieve the low levels soot emissions required by regulation. Thus, present paper aims characterize influence a design over combustion process. It is characterized introduction protrusions around periphery bowl, evenly spaced. performance this geometry compared other that have been extensively analyzed in literature,...

Imagine a very large bowl of overcooked spaghetti that is subject to constant random jiggling. Suppose one picks a given spaghetti strand. How on average does this strand move across the bowl? The strand sees a matrix comprised of the other spaghetti strands which it cannot cross. Thus, one has in principle a very complicated many-body (many-strand) problem. This is a simple realization of the ...

Interactions between the surfaces of planar and nonplanar molecules have generated considerable interest in materials chemistry as critical elements for understanding twodimensional supramolecular assembly, molecular and chiral recognition, and heterogeneous catalysis. Carbon-rich balland bowl-shaped polyaromatic molecules, such as fullerenes and fullerene fragments or buckybowls, figure promin...

Drosophila leg morphogenesis occurs under the control of a relatively well-known genetic cascade, which mobilizes both cell signaling pathways and tissue-specific transcription factors. However, their cross-regulatory interactions, deployed to refine leg patterning, remain poorly characterized at the gene expression level. Within the genetically interacting landscape that governs limb developme...

[1] Droughts over the central United States (US) are modulated by sea surface temperature (SST) variations in the eastern tropical Pacific. Many models, however, are unable to reproduce the severity and spatial pattern of the ‘‘Dust Bowl’’ drought of the 1930s with SST forcing alone. We force an atmosphere general circulation model with 1930s SSTs and model-generated dust emission from the Grea...

BACKGROUND The Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys reported 65% of daily energy intake (EI) as carbohydrate (CHO) in the Korean population and main source of CHO was cooked rice. We used a standardized-small sized rice bowl for diet education and investigated its effectiveness on body weight, glucose and lipid, compared to the conventional food exchange system in type 2 dia...

We investigated the retrieval of location information, and the deployment of attention to these locations, following (described) event-related location changes. In two visual world experiments, listeners viewed arrays with containers like a bowl, jar, pan, and jug, while hearing sentences like "The boy will pour the sweetcorn from the bowl into the jar, and he will pour the gravy from the pan i...

The purpose of the study was to evaluate the suitability of laboratory scale spheronizer for the production of spherical pellets loaded with diltiazem hydrochloride by wax combination. The 1:1 combination of cetyl alcohol and hydrogenated castor oil, as low and high melting point waxes, were used. The various production variables affecting the different characteristics of pellets and the proces...

Sumanene is a typical buckybowl molecule with C3v symmetry. We observed a fluorescence excitation spectrum and a dispersed fluorescence spectrum of sumanene in a supersonic jet. Bowl effects were clarified by comparing the spectra with those of triphenylene (D3h symmetry), which is a planar prototype of nonplanar sumanene. The S1 (1)A1 ← S0 (1)A1 transition is symmetry allowed. We found the 0(0...

OBJECTIVE Using self-refilling soup bowls, this study examined whether visual cues related to portion size can influence intake volume without altering either estimated intake or satiation. RESEARCH METHODS AND PROCEDURES Fifty-four participants (BMI, 17.3 to 36.0 kg/m2; 18 to 46 years of age) were recruited to participate in a study involving soup. The experiment was a between-subject design...
