This chapter reviews recent studies of catalytic reforming of logistic fuels at hightemperature. Aside from steam and autothermal reforming, special consideration is given to partial oxidation conditions. Natural gas, gasoline, diesel, and ethanol containing fuels are discussed. Methane and iso-octane as fuel surrogates are exemplarily used to explain the behavior of the reformers in particular...

The electric power industry has played an important role in the dramatic economic development in Korea, and electricity has become a critical factor sustaining the well-being of the Korean people. This study uses input–output analysis to investigate the role of the four electric power sectors (hydroelectric, fossil-fuels, nuclear and non-utility) in the Korean national economy for the period 19...

Capacitive power transfer (CPT) technology is an effective and important alternative to the conventional inductive power transfer (IPT). It utilizes high-frequency electric fields to transfer electric power, which has three distinguishing advantages: negligible eddy-current loss, relatively low cost and weight, and excellent misalignment performance. In recent years, the power level and efficie...

EMERALD is a project funded by the European Commission under the FP7 program focusing on energy use optimization on the integration of the electric vehicles into the transport and energy infrastructure. Between the objectives of EMERALD, enhanced power demand prediction and power flow support management system uses the power flow demand simulation platform considered in this paper. The power fl...

objective(s) several studies have reported improved response of exercised hearts to myocardial infarction (mi). this study was aimed to evaluate the preventive role of treadmill exercise and diosgenin on cardiac marker enzymes, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (tbars), total antioxidant status (tas), lipids, and electrocardiographic (ecg) patterns in isoproterenol (iso)-induced myocardia...

As a new technology, electric mobility has the potential to achieve a reduction in CO2 emissions and contribute to the transition from the current transportation system to a better one, environmentally speaking. The objective of the paper is to aid the necessary decision-making for the adoption and development of electric vehicles in Spain, taking the time horizon of 2020. This will be achieved...

We report on the focusing and guiding of the van der Waals complex formed between benzonitrile molecules (C(6)H(5)CN) and argon atoms in a cold molecular beam using an ac electric quadrupole guide. The distribution of quantum states in the guided beam is non-thermal, because the transmission efficiency depends on the state-dependent effective dipole moment in the applied electric fields. At a s...

Magnesium is the lightest of all the commonly used metals. It is one of the most abundant elements in the earth's surface, amounting to a mass fraction of c.a. 2.5 %. It has been prepared for industry as metal and alloy ingots; the latter are most often made with aluminum. Various magnesium-based alloys have been developed and mainly applied to transport facilities and mobile electric devices b...
