The effective equations of motion for a point charged particle taking account of radiation reaction are considered in various space-time dimensions. The divergencies steaming from the pointness of the particle are studied and the effective renormalization procedure is proposed encompassing uniformly the cases of all even dimensions. It is shown that in any dimension the classical electrodynamic...

Case hardening is a feature of dried wood that causes the wood to deform (cup) after re-sawing and equalising the moisture content. VTT has analysed case hardening with the aid of the simulation model PEO and with experimental drying, conditioning and storage tests. Case hardening cannot be predicted by the moisture content gradient alone. However, the case hardening gap after drying to a high ...

The surface active Fe-sites in HZSM-5 with low content of iron (<1000 ppm) activated by steaming and high temperature (up to 1323 K) calcination in inert lead to the formation of surface oxygen (O)ad species from N2O and were characterized quantitatively by transient response method. Only a part of (O)ad deposited on zeolite by decomposing N2O was active in CO oxidation at 523 K. A binuclear Fe...

OBJECTIVE The study was conducted to evaluate the stability of commercial coated lipase (CT-LIP) in vitro. METHODS The capsules were tested under different conditions with a range of temperature, pH, dry heat treatment and steaming treatment, simulated gastric fluid (SGF) and simulated intestinal fluid (SIF) in this work, respectively. Free lipase (uncoated lipase, UC-LIP) was the control gro...

Three household observations and semistructured interviews (n = 14) were conducted with Bhutanese refugee mothers to understand food shopping and dietary practices in this group of the refugee populations. Participants were recruited through a resettlement agency and snowballing techniques. Observation results indicated that steaming and stir-frying were common cooking methods and spices such a...
