Batch autotrophic ammonia oxidation tracked through oxygen uptake measurements displays a preliminary acceleration phase. Failure to recognize the acceleration phase and fitting batch ammonia oxidation profiles with standard Monod-type mathematical models can result in meaningless kinetic parameter estimates. The objectives of this study were to examine the factors controlling the acceleration ...

In linear accelerators with two or more bunches the beam loading of one bunch will influence the energy and energy spread the following bunches. This can be corrected by quickly changing the phase of a travelhng wave structure, so that each bunch recieves a slightly different net phase. At the SLAC Linear Collider (SLC) three bunches, two (e+,.e-) for the high energy collisions and one (e--scav...

This study investigated kinematics of human accelerated sprinting through 50 m and examined whether there is transition and changes in acceleration strategies during the entire acceleration phase. Twelve male sprinters performed a 60-m sprint, during which step-to-step kinematics were captured using 60 infrared cameras. To detect the transition during the acceleration phase, the mean height of ...

The temporal relationship between coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and associated solar Ñares is of great importance to understanding the origin of CMEs, but it has been difficult to study owing to the nature of CME detection. In this paper, we investigate this issue using the Large Angle and Spectrometric Coronagraph and the EUV Imaging Telescope observations combined with GOES soft X-ray observa...

Introduction: The phase contrast principle (PC) can be employed to measure flow acceleration by using acceleration sensitive encoding gradients. The direct assessment of regional acceleration can provide valuable information regarding changes in timing (temporal acceleration) and direction (convective acceleration) of flow. Although acceleration data may be estimated from velocity encoded image...
