Future scenarios for the oceans project combined developments of CO2 accumulation and global warming and their impact on marine ecosystems. The synergistic impact of both factors was addressed by studying the effect of elevated CO2 concentrations on thermal tolerance of the coldeurythermal spider crab Hyas araneus from the population around Helgoland. Here ambient temperatures characterize the ...

The typical user environment load spectrum varies significantly between different electronic applications but changes in temperature are involved in nearly all of them. Owing to the increasing number of integrated high-performance functions, smartphones and handheld computers, for example, can experience significant changes in temperature during normal operation. The changes in temperature are ...

The complete oxidation of n-Hexane and iso-Octane was studied individually in a fixed bed tubular flow reactor over CuO-CeO2 catalysts synthesized via four different methods namely urea-nitrate combustion method, urea gelation/co-precipitation method, citric acid sol-gel method and co-impregnation method. Laser diffraction was employed in catalysts characterization. The results obtained from th...

Pyrolitic conversion of lignocellulosic biomass, such as switchgrass and other agricultural residues, to bio-fuels is being considered for national energy security and for environmental advantages. Bio-oil, syngas and bio-char were produced and characterized from switchgrass at 400, 500 and 600 0C by pyrolysis. Bio-oil yield increased from 22 to 37%, syn-gas yield increased from 8 to 26%, and b...

In a new experiment at the Final Focus Test Beam at SLAC a low-emittance 46.6-GeV electron beam is brought into collision with terawatt pulses of 1054 nm or 527 nm wavelength from a Nd:glass laser. Peak laser intensities of 10 W/cm have been achieved corresponding to a value of 0.6 for the parameter = eE=m!0c. In this case an electron that crosses the center of the laser pulse has near-unit int...

The other three insects caused little or castaneum), rice weevil (Sitophilus oryzae), saw-toothed grain beetle no objectionable odor, even though infestation was heavy. High concen(Oryzaephilus surinamensis), and rusty grain beetle (Cryptolestes fertrations of 2-p...
