in some instances, it is inevitable that large amounts of potentially hazardous chemicals like chlorine gas are stored and used in facilities in densely populated areas. in such cases, all safety issues must be carefully considered. to reach this goal, it is important to have accurate information concerning chlorine gas behaviors and how it is dispersed in dense urban areas. furthermore, mainta...

Hydraulic accumulators (HAs) have been used successfully in regenerative braking systems by companies such as Ford and Eaton Corp. to increase fuel efficiency of heavy vehicles by as much as 25-35%. However, the relatively low gravimetric and volumetric energy densities of conventional HAs prohibit their use in average-sized passenger vehicles. In an attempt to address this problem, an elastome...

in this research, different concentrations of xanthan and lepidium perfoliatum seed gums (0.1, 0.2 and 0.3%) were used to improve the quality and shelf-life of chiffon cake. for this purpose, specific gravity and apparent viscosity of batter, and the volume, specific volume, moisture, sensory and texture properties, crumb and crust color were examined. to investigate the effect of gums on the s...

The most practical way of storing hydrogen gas for fuel cell vehicles is to use a composite overwrapped pressure vessel. Depending on the driving distance range and power requirement vehicles, there can be various operational volume capacity tanks, ranging from passenger heavy-duty trucks. current commercial storage method involves compressed in high-pressure tanks at pressures 700 bar 350 In p...

A total body plethysmograph is descirbed which was used to study thoracic gas volume (TGV) in infants and young children from birth to 2 1/2 years, and was suitable for use even in very sick babies. Normal TGV values were obtained in 42 studies of 35 healthy infants and young children, and 16 children with abnormal lung volume are described. TGV correlated well with length, weight, chest circum...

essential oil extracted from the leaves of myrtle, myrtus communis l. (myrtaceae)was tested in vitro for volatile toxicity against two stored-product insects (tribolium confusum and callosobruchus maculatus). the chemical composition of the plant oil was examined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (gc-ms). the major oil components were α-pinene (10.4%), α- terpineol (10.1%), linalool (9.0%...

Here dp is the normalized rotation invariant measure on Sd−1. The fields φ(x) are a family of Gaussian random variables indexed by x ∈ Z with mean zero and covariance given by the positive definite function C(x, y). The measure μC is the underlying measure. To make the connection with the dipole gas one expands the exponential in (4) and carries out the Gaussian integrals. Similarly one can def...
