Effect of liquid nitrogen pre-treatment on various types of wool waste fibres for biogas production
(Elsevier, 2018-04)This study investigated the role of liquid nitrogen (LN2) in increasing microbial accessibility of wool proteins for biogas production. It involves a mechanical size reduction of four different types of raw wool fibres, ... -
The Effect of Variations in Ionic Conductance Values on the Suppression of Repetitive Spiking in a Mathematical Model of Type-A Medial Vestibular Nucleus Neurons
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2016-06)A previous study has proposed a mathematical model of type-A medial vestibular nucleus neurons (mVNn). This model is described by a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations, which is based on the Hodgkin-Huxley ... -
Effects of Orbital Motion on the Boundary Layer Flow on a Spinning Disk
(Scientific Research, 2012-12)The objective of this study is to experimentally examine the effects of orbital motion on the boundary layer flow on a spinning disk. The boundary layer flow on the disk is visualized by the oil flow method, and velocity ... -
Elementary Thermal Operations
(2018-02)To what extent do thermodynamic resource theories capture physically relevant constraints? Inspired by quantum computation, we define a set of elementary thermodynamic gates that only act on 2 energy levels of a system ... -
Estimating a Falsified Model
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2016-07)It is common econometric practice to propose a system of equations, termed the “structure,” estimate each endogenous variable in the structure via a linear regression with all of the exogenous variables as arguments, and ... -
Exact solutions for nonlinear integro-partial differential equations using the generalized Kudryashov method
(Elsevier, 2017-10)In this research, we construct the traveling wave solutions for some nonlinear evolution equations in mathematical physics. New solutions such as soliton solutions are found. The method used is the generalized Kudryashov ... -
Experimental and Numerical Investigations on Plate-Type Heat Exchanger Performance
(Scientific Research, 2015-03)Low-grade Thermal Energy Conversion (LTEC) is a potential source of renewable energy. One of its forms is the Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) in which the temperature difference between the warm surface water and ... -

A Foundation for Lorentz Force Based on Vibrating Strings as a Compact Fluid
(Scientific research, 2014-08)Several aspects related with Lorentz force are discussed in the light of the presence of vibrating strings. Strings are considered as a compact, tension and viscosity-free incompressible liquid. The motion of a charge ... -
A hypothesis of series resonance in the white matter for understanding the mechanism of spike-wave seizures
(Elsevier, 2018-03)Generalized epilepsy is accompanied by large-amplitude synchronized spike-wave discharges on electroencephalography. The condition rapidly and synchronously involves most regions of the brain, but the mechanism underlying ... -
Impact of the Housing on the Air Flow and the Thermal Behavior of an Automotive Clutch System
(Scientific Research, 2015-03)New directives and increasing competition push automakers to get better performances (engine power increase), along with mass and size reduction (consumption). These evolutions lead to an increase of the thermal solicitations ... -

Integration by parts identities in integer numbers of dimensions. A criterion for decoupling systems of differential equations
(Elsevier, 2015-12)Integration by parts identities (IBPs) can be used to express large numbers of apparently different d-dimensional Feynman Integrals in terms of a small subset of so-called master integrals (MIs). Using the IBPs one can ... -
LiFi is a paradigm-shifting 5G technology
(Elsevier, 2018-11)In this paper we will first explain what Light-Fidelity (LiFi) is and argue that it is a 5th Generation (5G) technology. Peak transmission speeds of 8 Gbps from a single light source have been demonstrated, and complete ... -
Linear, Cubic and Quintic Coordinate-Dependent Forces and Kinematic Characteristics of a Spring-Mass System
