This study investigates the capability of two-dimensional Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation to estimate the temperature distribution pattern and velocity contours in a single slope solar still that uses soybe...

This study investigates how different carbon-containing absorbents affect the transient phase change expansion of liquid oxygen. Specifically, we prepared 3 types of liquid oxygen charges with varying carbon contents (0,...

Nonlinear metasurfaces with high conversion efficiencies have been vastly investigated. However, strong dynamic tunability of such devices is limited in conventional passive plasmonic and dielectric material platforms. G...

Dielectric metasurfaces have made significant advancements in the past decade for enhancing light–matter interaction at the nanoscale. Particularly, bound states in the continuum (BICs) based on dielectric metasurfaces...

"The thermal properties of a phase change material (PCM), together with its environmental health risks and natural abundance are important aspects to consider when choosing one for a domestic application. In this work, a...

The theory of the kinetics of phase change is developed with the experimentally supported assumptions that the new phase is nucleated by germ nuclei which already exist in the old phase, and whose number can be altered b...

Following upon the general theory in Part I, a considerable simplification is here introduced in the treatment of the case where the grain centers of the new phase are randomly distributed. Also, the kinetics of the main...

Phase equilibria of the quasi-ternary systems Ag2S–BIVS2–CV2S3 (BIV– Ge, Sn; CV–As, Sb) were investigated using phase analysis based on XRD. Isothermal sections at 500 Kand glass formation regions in the respecti...

Subsurface energy transition aims to mitigate climate change impacts by reducing carbon emissions while addressing energy needs through utilization of sustainable subsurface resources. It involves harnessing underground ...

The transformations during continuous cooling and their effect on the thermoelastic behaviour of β-CuAlBe shape memory alloys have been studied by electrical resistometry, microscopy and differential calorimetry. Under ...

We utilize few-level model systems to analyze the polarization and phase properties of below-threshold harmonics generated from aligned molecules. In a two-level system, we find that the phase of emitted harmonics underg...

Early diagnosis of canine ehrlichiosis favors prompt institution of treatment and improves the prognosis for the animal, since this disease causes mortality among dogs. Studies have shown that determining the concentrati...

Three-phase pulse width modulation (PWM) rectifiers are crucial in industrial, civil, and transportation applications. Due to the diversity of grid loads, the three-phase input voltage may be unbalanced, which consequent...

The occurrence of tree-contact single-phase-to-ground fault (TSF) poses a potential threat to the stable operation of power lines, and in severe cases, may result in wild fire. The development of TSF is influenced by cru...

Liquid crystals can exhibit structural orientational order. The creation of a mixture with the addition of chiral molecules to the nematic liquid crystal induces helical twisting, the axis of which is directed perpendicu...

Abstract Background Landslides are one of the most frequent and damaging disasters in the Nepal Himalaya region, triggered primarily by intense rainfall events. With the increasing impacts of climate change, extreme prec...

Abstract Background The EQ‑5D is widely applied to measure patient-reported outcomes, yet its minimally important difference (MID) has not been clearly established across distinct recovery phases after stroke. This stu...

The aim of this work was to analyze the effect of rosemary extract application (200 and 500 ppm) on lipid oxidation, colour and protein modifications during the chilled storage (1.0 ± 0.7 °C) of sea salmon. Lipid oxida...

Abstract The Arctic is warming faster than any other region on Earth. This warming affects Arctic clouds, both directly and through changes in aerosol concentrations, triggering feedbacks that may further amplify the war...

This paper analyzes spatial and temporal changes of aridity in Argentina (1961?2022). The aridity degree, using Climatic Research Unit (CRU) monthly data, was defined through six climate types classified by De Martonne A...

Shaping the emission pattern of second harmonic (SH) generation from plasmonic nanoparticles is important for practical applications in nonlinear nanophotonics but is rendered challenging by the complex second-order nonl...
