A novel technology to reduce soot is developed utilizing a high-frequency standing wave of 20 kHz applied to a methane-air lifted jet flame base.The amount of soot was Stair Basket measured using the transmitted light attenuation method.A mixing profile of the fuel jet was visualized using acetone planar-laser-induced fluorescence in order to measu
Background: Recently a number of trials investigated the effect of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) administration on inflammatory markers and homocysteine (Hcy).However, their findings are controversial.The aim of this paper is to present a meta-analysis and give a review of all randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in order to determine the effects of NAC on
Recent advances in micro-electro-mechanical systems SOAP (MEMS) sensing and distributed computing techniques have enabled the development of low-cost, rapidly deployed dense seismic networks.The Quake-Catcher Network (QCN) uses triaxial MEMS accelerometers installed in homes and businesses to record moderate to large earthquakes.Real-time accelerat
