HCCI (Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition), laser-assisted HCCI and spark plug-assisted HCCI combustion was studied experimentally in a modified single cylinder truck-size Scania D12 engine equipped with a quartz liner and quartz piston crown for optical access. The aim of this study was to find out how and to what extent the spark, generated to influence or even trigger the onset of ignition,

A comprehensive high-spin decay scheme has been deduced for 57Co using the Gammasphere Germanium detector array coupled to the 4π charged-particle detector system Microball. Following the fusion-evaporation reaction of 28Si(36Ar,1α3p)57Co at 136 MeV beam energy about 90 excited states have been observed in 57Co, which are connected by some 230 γ-ray transitions. The proposed level scheme reaches 1

Due to the health effects of dietary fibre, as well as its water-holding capacity (WHC), food products are commonly fortified with fibre-rich sources. However, to be able to design food products with specific textural properties that also appeal to the consumer, it is important to understand and to characterise the physicochemical and chemical properties of the fibre. In this study the composition

The Solaris synchrotron radiation facility under construction in Krakow will be a replica of the 1.5 GeV storage ring of MAX IV. This compact 3rd generation light source has been designed to have an emittance of 6 nm rad and operate with 500 mA stored current for VUV and and soft X-ray production.The lattice consists of 12 double- bend achromats (DBA) where each DBA cell is integrated into one sol

The effect of the tetrapeptide des-arg -enterostatin (Val-Pro-Asp-Pro) on the growth of muang bean, Vigna rodiate, was studied. At a concentration of 0.2mM in the nutrient solution the peptide reduced the growth significantly. Possible mechanisms underlying the growth inhibition are discussed.

In this paper we discuss parallelization and distribution of problems modeled in a constraint programming (CP) framework. We focus on parallelization of depth-first search methods, since search is the most time-consuming task in CP. The current hardware development is moving towards multi-core processors and the cost of building distributed systems is shrinking. Hence, parallelization and distribu
