Soot sensors are required for on-board diagnostics (OBD) of automotive diesel particulate filters (DPF) to detect filter failures. Widely used for this purpose are conductometric sensors, measuring an electrical current or resistance between two electrodes. Soot particles deposit on the electrodes, which leads to an increase in current or decrease in resistance. If installed upstream of a DPF, ...

A red-blind zebrafish mutant, partial optokinetic response b (pob), has been isolated by measuring eye movements of larvae in a three-generation screen for recessive mutations affecting the visual system. pob larvae exhibit eye movements in response to rotating black and white stripes illuminated with white light, but they do not move their eyes when the stripes are illuminated with red light. ...

Sturgeons have a complex free-embryo period extending from hatch to the initiation of exogenous feeding. Although available for some sturgeon species genus Acipenser, descriptions developmental stages free embryos Scaphirhynchus are lacking. We characterised ontogenetic development pallid (Scaphirhynchus albus) and shovelnose (S. platorynchus) through melanin plug expulsion. The rate was simila...

—— This paper describes an evaluation of Inhibition/Enhancement (In/En) network for robust automatic speech recognition (ASR). In distinctive phonetic features (DPFs) based speech recognition using neural network, In/En network is needed to discriminate whether the DPFs dynamic patterns of trajectories are convex or concave. The network is used to achieve categorical DPFs movement by enhancing ...

The bridge structure inside porous wall is an important feature in diesel particulate filter (DPF) functionality. In this work, the formation process of simulated for first time by domain decomposition-based lattice Boltzmann-cell automation probabilistic model (DDLB-CA model). main goals work are modeling to obtain detailed information and studying effects boundary conditions on process. resul...
