This study examined articulatory composition of the Korean liquid in the phonological contexts that condition its allophony using real-time MRI. During the liquid, tongue tip constriction, tongue body raising and tongue root fronting motions were observed. Inter-vocalic liquids (flap percept) were produced with shorter tongue tip movement duration and smaller displacement than onset or coda liq...

Recently, a disruptive idea was reported about the discovery of new type battery named Liquid Displacement Battery (LDB) comprising liquid metal electrodes and molten salt electrolyte. This cell featured novel concept porous electronically conductive faradaic membrane instead traditional ion-selective ceramic membrane. LDBs are attractive for stationary storage applications but need mitigation ...

This paper describes a type of isolator which is based on Solid And Liquid Mixture (SALiM) for vibration isolation and shock absorbing. The nonlinear force-displacement relation of the isolator is established. Using the precise integration method, the primary responses in time domain are evaluated to study the isolator’s property. Index terms — Solid and Liquid Mixture, Vibration Isolation, Vib...

in the submicroliter range, also referred to as nanodispensing and nanopipetting, have become an important feature of liquid-handling robotic instruments. Instrumental solutions for a number of dispensing techniques are commercially available and are applied routinely in various applications. Common dispensing principles are syringe-based (liquid or air) positive displacement, solenoid valve dr...

the current building codes provide limited prescriptive guidance on design for protection of buildings due to progressive collapse. progressive collapse is a situation in which a localized failure in a structure, caused by an abnormal load, such as explosions or other happenings. three procedures, often employed for determination of the structural response during progressive collapse i.e. linea...

We present an extensive thermodynamic study of methane coadsorbed on graphite precoated with a saturated monolayer of carbon tetrachloride. A combination of heat capacity and volumetric equation of state data permit construction of the multilayer coadsorption phase diagram between 70 and 115 K. Displacement of the preadsorbed CCl4 by CH4 occurs by a continuous process across the temperature ran...
