Aerobic cyclohexene oxidation and peroxide decomposition in the liquid phase were performed over a series of Co x Fe 3− O 4 spinel catalysts exhibiting volcano plot for catalytic activity with maximum at = 1.

This research investigates the losses incurred by polarization mismatch, and the impact it has on the detection of horizontal linear features for targets in the ground-plane. We introduce a sequence of steps necessary in mathematically determining the percentage of the horizontal linear feature that is co-polarized with the radar slant plane. Using computer simulation, we numerically evaluate a...

Real-world phenomena are frequently modelled by Bayesian hierarchical models. The building-blocks in such models are the distribution of each variable conditional on parent and/or neighbour variables in the graph. The specifications of centre and spread of these conditional distributions may be well motivated, whereas the tail specifications are often left to convenience. However, the posterior...

— The K X-ray absorption discontinuity of cobalt in the compounds of the RCo5 family (R = rare earth or yttrium) has been measured with a bent crystal spectrograph. It is observed that the main discontinuity shifts to the low energy side, with respect to that in pure cobalt indicating a flow of charge from R to Co. The plot between the observed shifts and the number of covalently bonded electro...

We present a preliminary search for D-D mixing using the decays D → Kππ, additionally presenting Dalitz-plot distributions and a measurement of the branching ratio for this mode. A new tagging technique is used to produce the doubly Cabibbo-suppressed Dalitz plot, which in turn is used to motivate the method used for the D-mixing search. We analyze 230.4 fb of data collected from the BABAR dete...

When creating interactive drama computer games then it is frequently useful to be able to generate a plot to use as a background for the drama and to use as a knowledge base for Non-Player Characters. In this article a new engine is proposed that dynamically creates new game plots for a murder mystery based game. The game engine uses Bayesian networks to create a new plot based on a probability...

Herb-drug interaction related with the drugs used to treat HIV patients was speculated in the present study. Therefore, zidovudine (AZT) was selected as an example, and in vitro incubation model was utilized to evaluate the inhibitory effect of herbal component methylophiopogonanone A towards the metabolism of AZT. The results showed the concentration-dependent inhibition of methylophiopogonano...
