Hydrogen is an environmental friendly fuel, which has the potential to significantly used of fasil files; however several important challenges must defeat before it can be extensively used. Thermo catalytic decomposition methane (TCD) one most useful method, will meet future demand and hence attractive route for COx free production hydrogen essential in fuel cell. In present study, we made atte...

Time reversal imaging method based on full wave numerical technique for likely breast tumors biological tissue in the Microwave-Induced Thermo-Acoustic Tomography (MITAT) system is discussed. In this paper, the mechanism of microwave-induced thermo-acoustic is strictly described based on thermodynamics and thermo-diffusion principles; the equivalent relationship between the absorbed microwave e...

A comprehensive computational framework based on the finite element method for the simulation of coupled hygro-thermo-mechanical problems in photovoltaic laminates is herein proposed. While the thermo-mechanical problem takes place in the three-dimensional space of the laminate, moisture diffusion occurs in a two-dimensional domain represented by the polymeric layers and by the vertical channel...

Abstract Thermo-acoustic oscillations are observed when a flame ignited at open end of tube propagates towards the closed due to interaction between unsteady heat release rate fluctuations from and acoustic fluctuations. In our past work, it was found that thermo-acoustic instability increases with decreasing diameter 7.0 cm 3.0 cm. A recent study in propagation Hele–Shaw cells showed is not fo...

I investigate when and how principals can use external experts to monitor agents when agents control information necessary for monitoring. In particular, I provide a theoretical model to examine in what circumstances external experts can assist boards of directors in discharging their management oversight and investment approval duties. Management controls relevant information about an investme...

This study develops a theoretical model in which the voluntary disclosure of earnings forecast is a double-edged sword. Such disclosure may reduce the information asymmetry between investors and firms but simultaneously allows entrepreneurs create hype. Beginning from 2005 the disclosures of financial forecasts for Taiwanese public companies have not been mandatory, with firms being able to dec...

The anonymization of sensitive microdata (e.g. medical health records) is a widely-studied topic in the research community. A still unsolved problem is the limited informative value of anonymized microdata that often rules out further processing (e.g. statistical analysis). Thus, a tradeoff between anonymity and data precision has to be made, resulting in the release of partially anonymized mic...

Since 1993, Japan has experienced party breakups, mergers and the formation of new parties that are rare in industrial democracies. As a result, the one-party dominance by the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), with perennial opposition parties, has evolved into a LDP-centered governing coalition faced with the Democratic Party (DP) contending with it for office. While an electoral system change t...

Novel mixed antioxidants composed of antioxidant IPPD and lanthanum (La) complex were added as a filler to form natural rubber (NR) composites. By mechanical testing, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy with attenuated total reflectance (FTIR-ATR) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), a string of data, including the mechanical properties, the variation of internal groups and the thermal and...

This paper reports on surface micromachined hinged structure assembly using thermo-kinetic forces in the molecular flow regime. Ultrasonic vibration energy is used to reduce the static friction making the thermo-kinetic force comparatively significant. The thermo-kinetic force, resulting from the more energetic gas molecules emanating from the heated substrate, increases with pressure and subst...
