Determination Of The Rational Values Of The Parameters Of The Disc Rollers Of The Combined Unit, A.K. Igamberdiev, D.K. Muqimova

Irrigation and Melioration

In our country, repeated crops are sown in newly plowed lands. In such conditions, the use of combined units that perform several technological operations simultaneously in one pass is considered effective. However, due to the inadequacy and validity of the parameters of the working bodies for the quality of pre-sowing tillage in newly plowed lands, there is an increase in the number of passes, fuel consumption, loss of soil moisture and other costs and, as a result, the possibility of timely sowing and friendly germination of repeated crops is reduced . The rational parameters of the new design of disk …

Enhanced Optical Propulsion And Material Analysis For Multiple Rayleigh Particles, Christopher Alan Jones

Student Theses and Dissertations

Studies have shown that materials exhibiting specific attributes can be propelled forward by photons of varying wavelengths within the visible light spectrum. This is enhanced by a momentum reversal due to the wave scattering of ejected electrons. Research has indicated that these effects are due to a particle's size and shape. Furthermore, these effects can lead to a tunability within cylinders/rods. The present research aims to provide an approximate macroscopic solution using Rayleigh theory to assess single and multiple particle forces for both ideal and causal systems. The forces are acquired through the integration of the Minkowski stress tensor just …

Preparation Characterization And Tribological Behavior Of Lube Oil With Nanoparticles Additives, Waleed Alghani

Student Works (2020-2029)

There are many companies worldwide that would like to improve and upgrade the lube oil and enhance its performance. There is a big concern for the enhancement of lube oil by using nanotechnology and more precisely with using nanomaterial additives. Much work has made to explore and develop new sorts of lubricating oil nano-additives to diminish wear and friction in tribological configurations and to enhance surface morphology. It has noted that the use of dual nano-additives should examine the lubricating capacity and durability of lubricant. (TiO2 Anatase + Graphene) and (ZnO + Graphene) nanoparticles have selected to formulate nano-additives that …

An Affordable And Portable Palpable System For Sensing Breast Tissue Abnormalities, Cody J. Clarke

Montview Journal of Research & Scholarship

Due to the high cost of equipment and lack of trained personnel, manual palpation is a preferred alternative breast examination technique over mammography. The process involves a thorough search pattern using trained fingers and applying adequate pressure, with the objective of identifying solid masses from the surrounding breast tissue. However, palpation requires skills that must be obtained through adequate training in order to ensure proper diagnosis. Consequently, palpation performance and reporting techniques have been inconsistent. Automating the palpation technique would optimize the performance of self-breast examination, optimize clinical breast examinations (CBE), and enable the visualization of breast abnormalities as well …

Exploration Of Novel Ferroelectric Systems: Determination Of The Underlying Mechanisms, Sizhan Liu

Dissertations

Modern environmental and sustainability issues, as well as the growing demand for applications in sensing and data storage, require the discovery and development of new functional materials. Ferroelectrics and multiferroics are materials that have played a central role in this arena. Because the central function of ferroelectrics is governed by spontaneous polarization response, understanding both the electronic and atomic response to external stimuli is important. In this work, a broad set of model systems were explored to determine the fundamental mechanisms involved in the formation of the ferroelectric phase.

Understanding atomic-level changes in structure is important for improving the properties …

Electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction (CO₂RR) is an appealing approach to convert atmospheric CO₂ to value-added fuels and industrial chemicals, and may play an important role during the transition to a carbon-neutral economy. In order to make this technology commercially viable, it is essential to pursue CO₂RR in flow reactors instead of conventional H-type reactors, and to combine electrocatalyst development with system engineering. In this review, we overview the cell configurations and performance advantages of the two types of flow reactors, analyze their shortcomings, and discuss the effects of their different components including gas diffusion electrode …

Electrochemical Energy Storage And Conversion Based On Organic Electrodes, Jian-Hang Huang, Xiao-Li Dong, Zhao-Wei Guo, Yuan-Yuan Ma, Yan-Rong Wang, Yong-Gang Wang

Journal of Electrochemistry

Aqueous batteries have been considered to be a competitive candidate for large-scale energy storage. However, most of aqueous batteries adopt inorganic electrode materials with metallic elements, which are based on the reversible insertion of metal ions, making their application being highly hindered by limited cycle life, environmental issue, high cost and low reserves. On the other hand, organic electrode materials offer the advantages of abundant reserves, tunable structures, renewability and environmental benignity. Furthermore, the wide internal space enables these organics to flexibly store various charge carriers. Organics have been investigated as the alternative to inorganic electrode materials. Herein, we review …
