In this study, eight binary blends of polypropylene (PP)/ poly [styrene-b-(ethylene-co butylene)-b-styrene] tri-block copolymer (SEBS) and polypropylene (PP)/ polycarbonate (PC) were produced at different composition through twin screw extruder.The composition of the minor phases was changed to correlate the morphology and mechanical properties of
Meat Traceability: Are U.S. Consumers Willing to Pay for It?
This article reports the results form a series of laboratory auction markets shades eq 07m in which consumers bid on meat characteristics.The characteristics examined include meat traceability (i.e., the ability to tract the retail meat back to the farm or animal of hormones, or knowing the animal was humanely treated), and extra assurances (e.g.,
Conjugate buoyant convective transport of nanofluids in an enclosed annular geometry
Abstract A vertical annular configuration with differently heated cylindrical surfaces and horizontal adiabatic boundaries is systematically studied in view to their industrial applications.In this paper, we investigate the effects of conjugate buoyant heat transport in water based nanofluids with different nanoparticles such as alumina, titania or
Remote excitation of neuronal circuits using low-intensity, low-frequency ultrasound.
Possessing the ability to noninvasively elicit brain circuit activity yields immense experimental and therapeutic power.Most currently employed neurostimulation methods rely on the somewhat invasive use of stimulating electrodes or photon-emitting devices.Due to its ability to noninvasively propagate through bone and other tissues in a focused mann
