The dynamics of power-grid networks is becoming an increasingly active area of researchwithin the physics and network science communities. The results from such studies are typically insightful and illustrative, but are often based on simplifying assumptions that can be either difficult to assess or not fully justified for realistic applications. Herewe perform a comprehensive comparative analy...

Computational chemistry and quantitative structureactivity relationships (QSAR) are foreseen to be extensively used in the implementation of the new REACH regulation for chemicals in Europe. However, for some compound groups the data are too few in number to permit both calibration and testing of a new model. Usage and previously developed or updated models are then viable alternatives. Perfluo...

In this report a concise review is given of the literature on slip phenomena at the wall of extrusion devices and the role of slip-laws in modeling of extrusion instabilities. In section 2 the main three instabilities are discussed: spurt, in which big pressure oscillations occur and the extrudate leaves the die in an oscillating way, sharkskin, which leads to more or less regular surface defec...

This study presents a detailed and thorough parametric study of the Leidenfrost point (LFP), which serves as the temperature boundary between the transition and film boiling regimes. Sessile drop evaporation experiments were conducted with acetone, benzene, FC-72, and water on heated aluminum surfaces with either polished, particle blasted, or rough sanded finishes to observe the influential ef...
