Sugarcane bagasse is an abundant source of lignocellulosic material for bioethanol production. Utilisation of bagasse for biofuel production would be environmentally and economically beneficial, but the recalcitrance of lignin continues to provide a challenge. Further understanding of lignin production in specific cultivars will provide a basis for modification of genomes for the production of ...

Fabrication of Al-Al₃Ti functionally graded materials (FGMs) under the centrifugal force has recently attracted some attention. The controlled compositional gradient of the fabricated FGMs, the low cost of the process, and the good mold filling, are the main advantages of the centrifugal method (CM). Using the conventional CM techniques such as the centrifugal solid-particle method and centrifu...

Abstract Functional thin films with a compositional gradient were deposited by sputtering method mixed powder targets. The composition ratio of nickel (Ni) and stainless steel (SUS304) was varied over the film thickness using several types oxide Our results indicate that nickel-doped stainless-steel successfully prepared on both Si substrates mixing controlled powder.

This article presents a system created in the computer-aided composition environment OpenMusic in order to handle complex compositional data related to sound synthesis processes. This system gathers two complementary strategies: the use of sound analysis data as basic material, and the specification of abstract rules in order to automatically process and extend this basic material.

for technical and economic success of miscible gas injection projects, an accurate laboratory measurement of minimum miscibility pressure (mmp) at reservoir conditions is essential. on the other hand, compositional reservoir simulator is a useful tool in gas injection studies and prediction of mmp. the main goal of this paper is to describe a procedure to generate a three phase sequential type ...

Functionally gradient materials (FGMs) with gradual and continuous changes of their properties in one or more dimensions are useful in a wide range of applications. However, obtaining such materials with accurate control of the gradient, especially when the gradient is nonlinear, is not easy. In this work, frontal polymerization (FP) was exploited to synthesize polymeric FGMs. We demonstrated t...

The next generation of high field magnets for fusion and accelerator applications requires the development of Nb3Sn strand with significantly higher critical current densities. Our recent work has shown that when the specific pinning force is normalized to the grain boundary density (the primary pinning site in this material), a strong increase in pinning force is observed for high Sn content s...

We evaluated in anesthetized rabbits the compositional changes of plasmalemmal lipid microdomains from lung tissue samples after inducing pulmonary interstitial edema (0.5 ml/kg for 3 h, leading to approximately 5% increase in extravascular water). Lipid microdomains (lipid rafts and caveolae) were present in the detergent-resistant fraction (DRF) obtained after discontinuous sucrose density gr...

The aim of the study is to find representative fluid samples and depth gradient lateral variations in Lower Cretaceous reservoir. Consistency analysis methods for will be carried out reservoir that can used a study. Based on samples, it analyzed investigated whether observed compositional between explained by gradients originating from gravitational and/or thermal effects. This work illustrates...
