Introduction: A neutrino observatory planned for South Pole offers an opportunity to collect a timesequenced 100,000-yr record of micrometeorites and terrestrial dust deposited in Antarctic ice with 20–100yr resolution. This unprecedented record bears on numerous studies including the evolution of near-Earth cosmic-dust and the provenance of micrometeorites, the relationship between ET influx a...

From the study of the material collected during the Polychaete Workshop held in Lizard Island (Great Barrier Reef, Australia) in August 2013, six species belonging to the genus Armandia (Polychaeta, Opheliidae) are newly described. Armandia bifida n. sp. is characterised by the bifid shape of the prechaetal lobe in CH1-CH3, A. dolio n. sp. by the barrel-shaped anal (=pygidial) tube (=funnel), A...

This study is focused on the removal of leachable lead present in CRT (cathode ray tube) glass employing different chelating agents, NTA (nitrilotriacetic acid) and ATMP (amino trimetilen phosphonic acid), and then on the evaluation of their extractive capability. The operating conditions are the following: T=80°C, t=1h, pH=10, solid/liquid weight ratio=1/10, reagent concentration= 0.1 M. After...

A 25-year-old man was admitted in hospital due to right side hemopneumothorax secondary to car accident. A chest tube was inserted. During the hospitalization days, chest CT scan revealed a 3cmx3 cm oval-shaped density located in the right upper lobe. Since he was in a good general condition, he was discharged from hospital after removal of chest tube and a follow-up chest CT-scan was recommend...

BACKGROUND Physical performance is an important healthy factor in elder people. Good living habits, which include sleep, can maintain physical strength and physical performance. The aim of the present study was to conduct a cross-sectional study to determine the association between total sleep duration and physical performance. METHODS Our study population comprised residents of the township ...

B2223 High Temperature Superconductor (HTSC) has been prepared as a pellet by solid state reaction. Then, HTSC wires were fabricated from the prepared superconductor using powder in tube (PIT) method utilizing silver as the tube material. Superconductor powder was packed in the pure silver tube of about 4.5 mm diameter, and 50mm long. The prepared wires are of three types; with monofilament MOF...

The critical current as a function of magnetic field of superconducting wires is commonly measured using about 60 mm short straight, or U-shaped samples, or about 1 m long samples on helical mandrels (so-called ITER barrels). The ITER barrel is designed for low to medium currents, but is commonly modified for high current wires. This often results in increased complexity, errors from reacted sa...

This research article highlights Omega type Coriolis Mass Flow Sensor (CMFS) used for measuring direct mass flow. CMFS works on the principle of Coriolis effect. In this research article omegatype, CMFS has been investigated for evaluatingresonant frequency. Modelling of CMFS can be split into two domainsstructural and fluid. The omega shaped tube, forming the structural part and the fluid flow...
