Two quartz types used in the silicon and ferrosilicon industry were heated to temperatures of 1600 and 1700 °C. The parameters varied were the temperature and the holding time at maximum temperature. The amount of quartz, ...

The effect of phosphorus on a cobalt-based catalyst for Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis (FTS) has been investigated. Phosphorus is an impurity present in biomass and, in this work, its deposition on the catalyst during biomass ...

A sensor designed to detect bio-molecules is presented. The sensor exploits a planar 2D photonic crystal (PC) membrane with sub-micron thickness and through holes, to induce high optical fields that allow detection of ...

A comprehensive physicochemical characterization of heterogeneous nanoplastic (NPL) samples remains an analytical challenge requiring a combination of orthogonal measurement techniques to improve the accuracy and robustness ...

Neural networks with physical governing equations as constraints have recently created a new trend in machine learning research. In this context, a review of related research is first presented and discussed. The potential ...

The purposes of our study were to investigate the physiological and biomechanical responses to low-intensity (LI) and high-intensity (HI) roller ski skating on varying terrain and compare these responses between training ...

Purpose. To study whether perceptual identification should be included as a measure to evaluate physiological stress. Methods. Physiological variables oxygen uptake (VO2), ventilation, heart rate, blood lactate concentration, ...

The use of nanobiomaterials (NBMs) is becoming increasingly popular in the field of medicine. To improve the understanding on the biodistribution of NBMs, the present study aimed to implement and parametrize a physiologically ...

Pilot-scale experiments are one way to investigate the process patterns and the reaction mechanisms of processes and raw materials. To understand a process fully, both theoretical considerations as well as small-scale ...
