In pursuing maximum energy efficiency, local utilization of various crude fuels came into view.The present click here paper compares the combustion characteristics of standard diesel oil and crude rapeseed oil; the latter is an excellent model for high-viscosity liquid fuels.The combustion tests were performed in a 15 kW atmospheric turbulent swirl
Color Doppler imaging of the retrobulbar circulation and plasmatic biomarkers of vascular risk in age-related macular degeneration: A pilot study
Purpose: To evaluate preliminarily and compare the level of plasmatic biomarkers of vascular risk in patients with and without exudative age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) and to relate it to vascular resistance alterations in the ophthalmic artery (OA), central retinal artery (CRA), posterior temporal ciliary artery (PTCA), and posterior nasa
Agent-based simulation model of micro-mobility trips in heterogeneous and perceived unsafe road environments
Safety concerns expressed by micro-mobility users seem to practically constrain the use and flexibility of these new modes.This paper introduces a new, parametric agent-based modeling approach for simulating micro-mobility, using MATSim as a platform.Perceived safety is introduced as a factor, which affects travel behavior of micro-mobility modes i
DNA Metabarcoding Authentication of Ayurvedic Herbal Products on the European Market Raises Concerns of Quality and Fidelity
Ayurveda is one of the oldest systems of medicine in the world, but the growing commercial interest in Ayurveda based products has increased the incentive for adulteration and substitution within this herbal market.Fraudulent practices such as the use of undeclared fillers and use of other species of inferior quality is driven both by the increased
Rheological Behavior of Suspensions Dispersed in Non-Newtonian Matrix
Suspensions composed with silica particles or cellulose fibers dispersed in glycerin and/or xanthan aqueous solutions were formulated with solids volume fraction varying up to 15 and 10 % for silica and cellulose dispersions, respectively.In addition, xanthan was added to the aqueous solutions (water or 82 % glycerin + water) at concentrations of 0
