The Upper Swirling Liquid Film (USLF) phenomenon that occurs in the upper cylinder of Gas–Liquid Cylindrical Cyclone (GLCC) separator is direct cause low separation efficiency liquid phase. In this study, first, USLF formation and development were simulated by an improved Eulerian-EWF coupled method. By introducing a profile-defined inlet boundary considering entrainment droplet size distributi...

Burkholderia caribensis MBA4 was isolated from soil for its capability to grow on haloacids. This bacterium has a genome size of 9,482,704 bp. Here we report the genome sequences and annotation, together with characteristics of the genome. The complete genome sequence consists of three replicons, comprising 9056 protein-coding genes and 80 RNA genes. Genes responsible for dehalogenation and upt...

Over the last 20 years, a number of multiphase flow measurement techniques have been developed for metering oil (or condensate) / water / gas commingled streams. The available techniques can be characterized as those that operate inline or with partial separation. The inline variety typically consists of several meters or measurements and a central computer to interpret the signals and calculat...

A wellhead multistage bundle gas–liquid separator combining a cylindrical cyclone (GLCC) with multi-tube components is expected to improve the separation performance. However, there no unified understanding of factors influencing performance separator. The continuous improvement and applications are restricted. This paper evaluated using numerical simulation method. results indicate that flow f...

WE wish to describe new serological techniques based on changes in buoyant density occurring when antibodies, or antigens, or both, are attached to latex beads. For the density change to be observed, the mass of the attached particles must be an appreciable fraction of the total mass. Using very small carrier beads less than one hundred antibody molecules or one virus particle per bead can be d...

UNLABELLED Acquisition of numerous virulence determinants affords Staphylococcus aureus greater pathogenicity than other skin-colonizing staphylococci in humans. Additionally, the metabolic adaptation of S. aureus to nonrespiratory conditions encountered during infection (e.g., hypoxia, nitric oxide, iron chelation) has been implicated as contributing to S. aureus virulence. Specifically, S. au...

Global land cover mapping with high accuracy is essential to downstream researches. Five global land cover data sets derived from moderate-resolution satellites, i.e., Global Land Cover Characterization (GLCC), University of Maryland land cover product (UMd), Global Land Cover 2000 project data (GLC2000), MODIS Land Cover product (MODIS LC), and GLOBCOVER land cover product (GlobCover), have be...
