abstract: there is always a need to increase a distillate output of solar still. if plates will be used inside solar still then distillate output of solar still are expected to increase. hence, an experimental study is conducted to improve distillate output of basin solar stills by increasing the effective surface area with the help of different plates. for the purpose of experiment, three sola...

In the present work microstructural evolution of A356 Aluminum alloy using an inclined cooling plate casting process for thixoforming feedstock production is investigated. The resultant microstructure was evaluated and compared with those of the same alloy produced by the conventional casting process, i.e. directly cast in the same mold without using an inclined cooling plate. It was found that...

Plant cytokinesis, the final event of cell division, generates two daughter cells by partitioning the cytoplasm of a mother cell. This depends on targeted secretion to generate a new plasma membrane (PM; Whaley and Mollenhauer, 1963; Samuels et al., 1995; Jurgens, 2005a, 2005b). Plant cells control cytokinesis by constructing a plant-specific cytoskeletal configuration, the phragmoplast (Zhang ...

This paper proposes mathematical modeling and analysis of ferrofluid lubricated newly designed slider bearing having convex pad (surface or plate) stator with two porous layers attached to the slider. The problem considers the effect of slip velocity proposed by Sparrow et. al.[1] and modified by Shah et. al.[2] at the film-porous interface. The squeeze velocity V=−which appears when the upper ...

The floor plate is a group of specialized cells located in the ventral midline of the vertebrate neural tube. It plays important roles in neural tube development as a source of signalling molecules for dorsoventral patterning and axonal guidance (for reviews, see Jessell and Dodd, 1992; Dodd and Jessell, 1993). A floor plate-derived signalling molecule, Sonic hedgehog (Shh), which is a vertebra...

Convergent plate margins are arguably the most complicated and dynamic plate boundaries on Earth and have been the subject of many investigations and discussions since the advent of plate tectonic theory. Due to the varied, heterogeneous and complex structure of convergent plate margins, which arises from the multiple geological, physical and chemical processes operating at these zones, and bec...

structural sandwich beams are widely used because of their high specific stiffness and strength, noise reduction, thermal insulation and impact energy absorption characteristics. conventional manufacturing method of composite sandwich structures is completed by a separate adhesive joining stage by which the composite faces are joined to the core. in this investigation, liquid phase sintering in...

The mantle electromagnetic and tomography (MELT) experiment found a surprising degree of asymmetry in the mantle beneath the fast-spreading, southern East Pacific Rise (MELT Seismic Team, Science 280 (1998) 1215^1218; Forsyth et al., Science 280 (1998) 1235^1238; Toomey et al., Science 280 (1998) 1224^1227; Wolfe and Solomon, Science 280 (1998) 1230^1232; Scheirer et al., Science 280 (1998) 122...
