EFFECTS OF THE UPWARD-INCREASING GRADIENT MAGNETIC FIELD ON SOOT PROPERTIES IN ETHYLENE INVERSE DIFFUSION FLAMES WITH DIFFERENT OXYGEN CONCENTRATIONS

Effects of the upward-increasing gradient magnetic field on soot properties in ethylene inverse diffusion flames with different oxygen concentrations

The effects of the upward-increasing gradient magnetic field on soot properties are experimentally investigated in ethylene inverse diffusion PRO VISION flames with different oxygen concentrations.The soot morphology, nanostructure, graphitization degree, and oxidation reactivity are obtained by high-resolution transmission electron spectroscopy (H

Testing, diagnosis, and treatment following the implementation of a program to provide dried blood spot testing for HIV and hepatitis C infections: the NSW DBS Pilot

Abstract Background Dried blood spot (DBS) testing provides an alternative to phlebotomy and addresses barriers to accessing healthcare experienced by some key populations.Large-scale evaluations of DBS testing programs are needed to understand their feasibility.This study evaluated the implementation of a state-wide DBS HIV and hepatitis C virus (

Acetic Acid Bacteria in Sour Beer Production: Friend or Foe?

Beer is the result of a multistep brewing process, including a fermentation step using in general one specific yeast strain.Bacterial presence during beer production (or presence in the beer itself) is considered as bad, since bacteria cause spoilage, produce off-flavors, and/or turbidity.Although most problems in the past related to lack of hygien

The Belt and Road Initiative in North Eurasia: Changing Geographies and the UNECE Multilateral Environmental Agreements

The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), launched by China in 2013 to increase economic and transport connectivity along the Eurasian Lower Pulley continent and beyond, has posed unprecedented environmental and social risks, many of which are transboundary in nature.International legal tools contained in Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs) can
