An automatic time sequence filter sampler has been developed for atmospheric aerosol particle sampling of ambient air and subsequent analysis for elemental composition using the proton beam of a Van de Graaff accelerator. Some features of the operation of the sampler are given, the retention of particles by the filter material are discussed, examples of the type of data obtained are presented, and

Three methods are suggested to identify and quantify flashback and flash forward events based on chemiluminescence recordings of swirling flames. The approaches differ in the procedure to determine the instantaneous flame position. The results revealed that the most robust method is to determine a threshold relative to the instantaneous maximum intensity. Analysis of the complete dataset indicated

The flexion of the verb in the Norwegian language for the indicative mood present tense has only one morphologic form, no matter the person and the number. The Punjabi language (spoken by more than 90 million people) is an Indo-Arian language (an immense subgroup of the Indo-Iranian languages, having more than 900 million speakers). The Punjabi language is closely related to Romany (Gipsy) languag

New Information Systems Development Methodologies (ISDMs) are suggested in the belief that their deployment would be beneficial to consultants in their work. A large number of ISDMs already exist but their value has been questioned and at the same time new methodologies continue to be introduced in an attempt to support and improve the practice of information systems development work. What is not

``Pluralistic ignorance'' is a phenomenon mainly studied in social psychology. Viewed as an epistemic phenomenon, one way to define it is as a situation where ``no one believes, but everyone believes that everyone else believes''. In this paper various versions of pluralistic ignorance are formalized using epistemic/doxastic logic (based on plausibility models). The motive is twofold. Firstly, the

This book is authored based on the Iranian Steel Code (Ed. 2009) and issued outlines of the ministry of higher education for steel structures design 1, 2 courses. It can have a key role in helping the readers to learn steel structures design by ASD method.

Surface temperature in internal combustion engines is of high interest when studying heat losses. Two approaches for retrieving the surface temperatures are thermocouples and Laser Induced Phosphorescence, LIP. This study aims to analyze LIP as a technique for measuring surface temperature in internal combustion engines. The motivation for this study is the need for accurate surface temperatures w

A low power wideband low noise amplifier (LNA) was designed and implemented in SiGe HBT technology. The measured noise figure is less than or equal to 1 dB in almost the entire L-band. The gain in the L-band is above 13 dB with a gain variation of 4 dB. Hence, it’s useful for present as well as future GNSS applications. The current consumption is 5 mA from a single supply of +5V. The stability of

In the article utmark (outland) is discussed from a landscape perspective with reference to ethnical and global problems.

This paper seeks to investigate the connectivity construct in logistics and supply chain management literature. A review of existing literature is conducted regarding connectivity on a broad basis. The review is based on a general search in the ABI-Inform database for articles containing the twin search phrases of connectivity and logistics, and connectivity and supply chain management. An initial
