Nowadays, the amount of multimedia contents is explosively increasing and it is often a challenging problem to find a con- tent that will be appealing or matches users’ current mood or affective state. In order to achieve this goal, an efficient indexing t ...
Basic aspects of suprathermal ion transport in interchange-mode unstable plasmas are investigated in the simple toroidal plasma device TORPEX. Suprathermal ions are generated with a miniaturized lithium 6+ ion source with energies up to 1keV, and are detec ...
This paper presents the optimization of a micro gas preconcentrator based on a micro-channel in porous and non-porous silicon filled with an adequate adsorbent. This micro gas preconcentrator is both applicable in the fields of atmospheric pollution monito ...
A unified model framework with online-coupled meteorology and chemistry and consistent model treatments across spatial scales is required to realistically simulate chemistry-aerosol-cloud-radiation-precipitation-climate interactions. In this work, a global ...
Iron containing ZSM-5 zeolites is extremely active in nitrous oxide decomposition. This reaction involves atomic oxygen species known as "alpha oxygen" on iron sites. Despite the multiple techniques devoted to its characterization, the active sites' struct ...
Drill and blast is a major method for bed rock excavation in nuclear power plant engineering. Under blasting excavation, blast-induced vibration propagates in rock mass and induces damage to surrounding rock. Studying the characteristics of wave propagatio ...
The use of commercially available azide sources is presented for the cobalt-catalyzed hydroazidation reaction. α,α-Disubstituted olefins with a variety of functional groups were employed as substrates, providing tertiary azides in useful yields. ...
The simulation of the fast ions dynamics experiment in the TORPEX device is presented. The experiment consists of a fast particles source that injects lithium ions in the TORPEX plasma, characterized by interchange-driven turbulence. The simulations are pe ...
The radical polymerization of bis-1,3(N,N,N-trimethylammonium)-2-propylmethacrylate dichloride revealed non-ideality with 0.59 and 4.4 for the reaction orders of the initiator and monomer concentration, respectively. Further, autoacceleration was observed ...
The investigation of the thermochemical field around planetary reentry capsules, and their experimental scaled models is made by coupling aerothermodynamic simulation of the corresponding flow field to a library of chemical kinetics of the specific atmosph ...
