Nowadays, soot emissions are one of the major concerns in Direct Injection Spark Ignition engines. Soot prediction models can be computationally expensive, especially when particle mass, number, and size distribution to forecast. While formation heavily depends on chemical physical characteristics fuel, simulation exact composition a real gasoline is unfeasible. Thus, it essential find simplifi...

A number of ways of relaxing the stratification constraint for the axioms of Quine’s NF are reviewed. It is shown how most of them result in

In an earlier article we challenged the findings of Fowler and Dawes (FD) that two genes predict voter turnout as part of a more general critique of “genopolitics.” FD now acknowledge that their finding of a “significant” direct association between MAOA and voting was incorrect, but claim to have replicated their finding of an “indirect” association between 5HTT, self-reported church attendance...

based on the {s+, i-} pathway, the concentration of surfactant and surface charge density of silanolate groups control the phase transition from lamellar, to hexagonal through cubic form. the high surface charge density of silanolate groups was observed for the lamellar phase. with decrease of molar concentration of surfactant on the gel, the yield of reaction decreases and the stability of mes...

germination is a critical stage in the life cycle of plants and often controls population dynamics, with major practical implications. salsola arbusculiformis is one of the most important plants used to prevent soil erosion and a good fodder resource for sheep and goat in the rangelands of iran. however, the species seems to have low seed germination, so the purpose of this study was to investi...

seasonal variations of the seawater properties (e.g. temperature, salinity, density and chlorophyll-a) in western part of the southern coastal waters of the caspian sea near the iranian coast were studied. a portable ctd probe was applied for profiling from sea surface to bottom at 23 stations. maximum depth of the profiling stations was more than 470 m in the study area. vertical structure of ...

in this paper, the effect of cationic and anionic ion sizes on the charge storage capability of graphene nanosheets is investigated. the electrochemical properties of the produced electrode are studied using cyclic voltammetry (cv) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (eis) techniques in 3m nacl, naoh, and koh electrolytes. scanning electron microscopy (sem) is used to characterize the mi...

Neutron-star inner cores with several charged baryonic components are likely to be analogues of the two-gap superconductor which is of current interest in condensedmatter physics. Consequently, type I superconductivity is less probable than type II but may nevertheless be present in some intervals of matter density. The intermediatestate structure formed at finite magnetic flux densities after ...

The severe incidences of Microcystis blooming in 1980s of the Sagami and Tsukui reservoirs, located in Sagami river, Japan were effectively controlled by the installation of 8 and 5 bubbling circulation systems, respectively. However, the blooming had started again in those reservoirs. It was found that those algal blooming occurred due to the formation of strong stratification following a temp...
