The spreading behavior and equilibrium contact angle, θ, of organic liquids on soda-lime glass surfaces were observed at relative humidities (rh) varying from 1 to 95%. Increasing rh increased θ for many nonhydrophilic liquids on glass; no comparable effects occurred with nonadsorptive solid surfaces. The decrease in wettability of the glass with increasing rh resulted from the physical adsorption of a surface layer of water molecules sufficient to convert the normally high-energy glass surface into one that behaves as a low-energy surface, i.e. a surface with a low critical surface tension fo...

A neighborhood global learning based flower pollination algorithm (NGFPA) is introduced and it is shown that NGFPA has better performance in comparison with other swarm intelligence algorithms and can obtain smoother paths in different obstacle environments.

Electric motors consume a large share of electricity in cement industries. Traditionally, most of the motor applications use variable frequency drive to save electricity, but they do not optimally minimize power consumption always. Pumps and fans are the applications where significant energy savings can be obtained at partial load by implementing optimal flux control. The present work identifies 10 large-size pump motors of an integrated cement manufacturing unit and proposes optimal flux control in a novel way during their operation. The proposed method eliminates run-time optimal flux comput...

The authors report on the realisation of an encryption process in real-time analogue circuitry using on-the-shelf components and minimal processing power and demonstrate a fabricated printed circuit board implementation of the system.

It would seem plausible to translate these observations in terms of similar infarcts occurring in man, as increased serum enzyme activity and increased plasma choelsterol levels are a manifestation of tissue damage.

Pneumatocele associated with SARS-CoV2 currently described in the literature are likely to be caused by ARDS, with the hypothesis that these pneumatocele can lead to pneumothorax which is a rare complication that is now being more widely described inThe literature.

According to a survey of students went through this curriculum in recent years, it shows the teaching effect is quite good for most students to master the C language programming and some effective methods or mode should be used in curriculum by lecturer.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of price policy and service quality on service purchase decisions at the laundry of the Riyadlul Jannah Islamic Boarding School Mojokerto. The sampling technique used in this research is purposive sampling. The data collection method used is a questionnaire. The data in this study were obtained from the results of distributing research questionnaires about price policy and service quality and purchasing decisions for service products to 70 respondents. The data analysis techniques used are instrument validity and reliability, classical assump...
