-
Resistive switching in metal-insulator-metal devices is promising as an alternative to flash memory. The change in resistance from insulating to conducting and back again is theoretically caused by the formation and partial ...
-
Numerous experimental methods are available to predict the hazards associated with thermal runaway (TR) and subsequent catastrophic failure of lithium-ion batteries (LIB), but these methods are time-intensive and costly. ...
-
(1979)A study of the effects of methanol and water on the friability of lignite was made in an effort to quantify the extent of the effects and compare the utility of the two liquids. The friability of the lignite will be an ...
-
(1980)A study was made to determine the effect of an electrolyte, namely sodium chloride(NaCl), on the apparent viscosity of coal suspensions in water. This required a fundamental study of the behavior of the second electro-viscous ...
-
(2021-04-28)The sluggish oxygen evolution reaction (OER) has been a major barrier for advancing green hydrogen production from water splitting. Whilst the overwhelming majority of work has been devoted towards buffered pure water ...
-
Energy consumption has become directly associated with buildings. According to the United Nations, it is estimated that buildings contribute by 30-40% of the worldwide energy consumption. The consumption of energy has ...
-
(2013-02-27)Obesity and the metabolic diseases associated with it, such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease, are areas of major concern in the USA. Obesity is associated with low grade inflammation in adipose tissue; therefore, ...
-
(1998)With literally tons of biomass produced annually, a process that uses this waste as a feedstock would help reduce the problem of disposal. The MixAlco process is one that does just that. It converts biomass through anaerobic ...
-
(1981)The effects of loading six to eight weight per cent carbon black in 4.15 N H₂SO₄ electrolyte on the cell performance and reaction products from water electrolysis were studied. When only the anodic reaction is depolarized ...
-
(1977)The performance of a flat plate solar water heater is predicted by a computer model. This model divides the collector and storage tanks into a finite number of sections and considers an energy balance over each section. ...
-
(2014-09-26)Our goal was to research and implement a countercurrent system to run enzymatic saccharification of biomass. The project provided clear results to show that this method is more efficient than the batch process that companies ...
-
(2012-07-11)Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease or NAFLD is characterized by the accumulation of fat in the liver, also known as steatosis. This is one of the most common types of liver diseases and can occur in a range of individuals. ...
-
(2018-04-26)When exposed to an electromagnetic field, the heat generated by CNTs is proportional to the power of the field and the concentration of CNTs exposed. Additionally, the field’s frequency, the sample geometry, heat transfer ...
-
(1983)An equation was developed that enables the calculation of the Fanning friction factor for the flow of power law fluids. The equation applies for all flow regions - laminar, transitional and turbulent. The equation is based ...
-
(1996)The liquid piston Stirling engine is an environmentally conscious technology developed to replace the electric heat pump and the gas furnace. Dr. Holtzapple's innovative modifications to existing Stirling engine technology ...
-
(2012-05-03)Currently, measles (also known as English measles) is detrimentally affecting the youth of the developing world. The shortage of vaccines and the devastating consequences of measles yield disturbing consequences globally. ...
-
(2014-12-10)Salmonella is a foodborne pathogen that invades the human gastrointestinal (GI) tract from the intestinal lumen by targeting intestinal epithelial cells (IECs). It is able to breach the protective IEC barrier with the aid ...
-
(1981)Electrolysis of coal in an aqueous solution to form carbon dioxide at the anode and hydrogen at the cathode has a thermodynamic cell potential of 0.21 volts. It is believed that a coal electrolysis cell can be developed ...
-
(1982)Proper function of industrial society mandates large supplies of oil both now and in the foreseeable future. In order to meet the great demand for oil, the oil industry uses several enhanced oil recovery techniques. One ...
-
(2012-04-20)Ethylene is one of the most important and commonly used chemicals. Production of ethylene from a renewable resource would greatly reduce the amount of petroleum used in chemical processing. This would be a great help to ...
