Development of a Novel Method for Evaluation of Interfacial Tension between Polymer Melts

A novel method for the evaluation of interfacial tension of high viscosity polymer melts is described. The method involves the tracking of the shape evolution of a highly deformed droplet of one material imbedded in a second one. This makes it possible to determine the interfacial tension over a relatively short time period. The imbedded material is initially either a fiber or a disk. The techniqu

Revisiting Software Requirements Specifications - What could we learn

A software requirements specification (SRS) is an important document that reports the result from the system requirements determination (SRD) which forms a basis for subsequent activities in the systems development process. In order to increase the knowledge base of SRS and how they could be structured nine SRSs are analyzed. The analysis aims at demonstrate similarities and differences in SRS com

42 volumes of early printed sermons (incunabula) reproduced in full on microfiche. Most of the sermons are in Latin, but two volumes are in German. This Unit is a supplement to Units 31-33 (Sermons: Parts I-III) published in the year 2000.

Volume of fluid and immersed boundary investigations of a single rising droplet

(IB) methods are two popular computational techniques for multi-fluid dynamics. To help shed light on the performance of both techniques, we present accuracy assessment including interfacial geometry, detailed and global transport characteristics. The investigations include the simulations of a droplet under static equilibrium and a droplet rising due to gravity for Re≤1000. Different surface tens

Extracting Cylinder Individual Combustion Data from a High Precision Torque Sensor

A high precision torque sensor is used for extracting combustion timing information from cylinder individual pressure estimates constructed from the torque measurements. A combination of physics-based and data driven modeling is used where the physical part of the model is based on equations describing contributions of inertial and gas forces while the flexing of the crankshaft, which has rather c

The monograph reports a number of studies of a therapist’s speech. It comprises three chapters. The first chapter is a theoretical introduction into the scientific problem of the psychotherapeutic utterance. It reveals some psychological aspects of language issue, explains the concepts of “utterance” and “psychotherapeutic utterance”, and provides an account of the research methods used for studyi

From enlightened participation to liberal professionalism: On the historiography of the press as a resource for legitimacy

The article presents and analyses the editorial ideals and practices of the Enlightenment press with regard to their participatory elements. The decline of these ideals and practices, during the era of the establishment of the modern press in the 1820s, 1830s and 1840s, is discussed with regard to its advocates’ self-legitimating ambitions. These professional efforts were carried out in various wa

Insights into the Evolution of Moth Pheromone Communication: Lessons from the European Corn Borer

Popular Abstract in French La rencontre des sexes est une nécessité pour la majeure partie des organismes appartenant au règne animal. Au cours de l’évolution, différentes modalités sensorielles, comme la vue, l’ouie et l’odorat, sont apparues et ont été perfectionnées pour permettre aux organismes de percevoir l’environnement qui les entourent, et de communiquer. Reconnaître ses pairs de ses enneChemical communication by means of sex pheromones is central to the mating systems of a wide range of organisms. Because reproductive isolation is often based on pheromone differences, understanding how pheromones diverge is necessary for a complete comprehension of the speciation process. Moths (Insecta: Lepidoptera) contributes highly relevant examples to the theory of speciation because subtle

Death mechanisms compromising hippocampal neurogenesis after status epilepticus

Status epilepticus (SE) leads to neurodegeneration as well as neurogenesis in the adult rat hippocampus. This thesis demonstrates that even if the neurogenic response initially is very pronounced, with a several-fold increase in cell proliferation, the survival of the newly formed neurons is compromised by a death mechanism involving mitochondria-related caspases. This conclusion is based on immun
