Surface mount chip resistors are amongst the simplest and most inexpensive of all components used in electronic circuits and systems. Typically, resistor failure modes include open circuits, resistive shorts or variations in resistance indicating parametric drift or intermittent failure, which in some applications result in overall system failure. Corrosion is currently believed to be the numbe...

Various physico-chemical characteristics of the River Yamuna flowing in Haryana through Delhi were studied in the summer (April 1998) and winter (Jan.-Feb. 1999). Ecological parameters like dissolved oxygen (DO), pH, nitrate (NO3-), sulfate (SO4(2-)), and phosphate (PO4(3-)), were analyzed and compared with standard permissible limits to assess the best-designated use of the river water for var...

Introduction: One of the most important discoveries of the NEAR Shoemaker mission to Eros was the “ponds”, flat regions (relative to surrounding terrain) inside craters that exhibit a slightly bluer reflectance spectra than most of the asteroid [1]. Ponds have been interpreted as being composed of finer-grained material than the rest of the asteroid surface. Formation processes for ponds includ...

Addahole stream belongs to Kabbinale forest of Gundia region. The water quality and ornamental fish diversity were examined. The stream water is fast and slow flowing with clear water and rocky, sandy, leafy substrate. This stream is about 14 kms long, perennial and has different habitats with diverse ornamental fish population. Results revealed the mean values of water quality of all samples c...

The study is aimed to treat sewage flowing in open drains by application of especially developed microbial consortium – a bioremediation method. The objective of the study is that sewage may be stabilized in drains thereby giving relief to the citizens from exposure of obnoxious harmful gases and unhygienic situations which prevail in the vicinity of open drains, and to reduce concentration of ...

Using time-domain thermoreflectance, we have measured the transport of thermally excited vibrational energy across planar interfaces between water and solids that have been chemically functionalized with a self-assembled monolayer (SAM). The Kapitza length--i.e., the thermal conductivity of water divided by the thermal conductance per unit area of the interface--is analogous to the "slip length...

Discharge measurement is a basic tool for process control and modelling in both natural and urbanized catchments. One of the limitations of measurement methods in use is the direct contact between the velocity measurement device and flowing liquid, resulting in maintenance difficulties. Thus, this paper deals with the design, laboratory testing and field verification of a nonintrusive discharge...

A fate and exposure of industrial organic chemicals has been developed for Japan and its coastal sea. Chemicals flowing into the water should be considered to be in the process of adsorption to suspended solids and sedimentation. These chemical processes are incorporated into the model. The field data slightly exceed the simulated concentrations for the Tama River estuary, but otherwise results...

The foundation of the present new journal "CLINICAL HEMORHEOLOGY" best testifies the fact that rheological thinking is gaining ground in biology, medicine and surgery. The biomedical community, after having long neglected mechanical facts in general, and biorheological peculiarities in detail, is beginning to appreciate the theoretical and practical relevance of biorheology as a discipline devo...

This study investigates a novel chemical looping air reactor for CO2-free energy storage applications, where large packed bed of solids in reduced form is slowly oxidised by at high pressure and temperature. achieved arranging the to be separated from air, which flows within number empty conduits with permeable walls that traverse reactor. A slow diffusional flow O2 established towards reacting...
