Heterogeneous electron-transfer rates have been measured for three binuclear complexes, Cp2Fe2(CO)2(μ-SMe)2, 1, Cp2Fe2(CO)2(μ-PPh2)2, 2, and Cp2Mo2(μ-SMe)4, 3. Dahl and co-workers had shown previously that the cations of ...

This paper presents a fault diagnosis system for airplane engines using Bayesian networks (BN) and distributed particle swarm optimization (PSO). The PSO is inherently parallel, works for large domains and does not trap ...

Accurate retrieval of wildland fire temperature from remote imagery would be useful in improving prediction of fire propagation and estimates of fire effects such as burn severity and gas and particle production. The ...

Montiporyne E, a novel diacetylenic lactam isolated from the stony coral Montipora sp., was shown to exhibit cytotoxicity against certain solid tumor cells. Construction of a suitably functionalized α,β-unsaturated lactam ...

The use of microchannels for advanced heat transfer applications has quickly become commonplace. They are found in automotive applications, fuel cells, and even electronics cooling. However, there are fundamental issues ...

The development of a flow boiling map applicable to different fluids was reported by Kandlikar (1989). In the present paper, specific maps are presented for water, R-22 and R-134a in the saturated boiling region to serve ...

We study electron tunneling between two infinte potential square wells connected via an opaque barrier and find that time evolution of the probability of the presence of a Gaussian wave packet, localized initially in one ...

We theoretically predict and experimentally demonstrate the phenomenon of frequency entrainment in optically injected semiconductor lasers. The laser exhibits nonlinear subharmonic and ultraharmonic resonances for appropriate ...

Recent experimental studies have revealed for the first time some basic features of pulsed. relativistic (300-600 keY) backward-wave oscillators such as starting current, axial mode locking, and multifrequency operation. ...
