SIMULTANEOUS MAPPING OF DROPLETS SIZE AND CONCENTRATION IN SPRAYS USING STRUCTURED LASER ILLUMINATION PLANAR IMAGING

Structured Laser Illumination Planar Imaging (SLIPI) is used in combination with LIF/Mie ratio and two-side Mie imaging (dual-SLIPI) for a two-dimensional mapping of both the droplet Sauter Mean Diameter (SMD) and the extinction coefficient ( ). By means of combining the two techniques simultaneously, the local distribution of droplet concentration as well as the liquid volume fraction can also be

Molecular development of a thermostable β-glucosidase for modification of natural products

Popular Abstract in English The gene encoding a β-glucosidase originating from the extreme thermophile Thermotoga neopolitana has been cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The aim was to produce a thermostable enzyme that could be used to remove sugar residues from glucosylated natural products classified as flavonoids by applying a method combining extraction in hot pressurized water with enThe gene encoding a β-glucosidase originating from the extreme thermophile Thermotoga neopolitana has been cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The aim was to produce a thermostable enzyme that could be used to remove sugar residues from glucosylated natural products classified as flavonoids by applying a method combining extraction in hot pressurized water with enzymatic hydrolysis. The β-g

Themes and Challenges in Making Supply Chains Socially Sustainable

Purpose Purpose of this paper is to explore and classify pattern of the currently discussed themes and challenges in making supply chains socially sustainable. Design/methodology/approach The methodology was based on a systematic review of the existing literature in order to explore what major themes and challenges have been discussed as well as the significant gaps where opportunities for furthe

Comparison of MEG and TRPG of practical antennas

In this paper two figures of merit of UE antenna performance are compared, the mean effective gain (MEG) and the total radiated power gain (TRPG). The ratio between these magnitudes has been evaluated first theoretically and later from measurements of four different handsets in the GSM, AMPS bands. In the evaluation different power angular distribution models were assumed. It is also shown that in

Agrofuels, Brazil and Competing Land Uses

Biofuel production in the world has grown exponentially, stimulated by public policies, in countries of the North as well as of the South, and has been seen as one of the main drivers behind the recent food price hike. Thus conflicts over land need to be factored in when biofuels are assessed. Nowhere in the world is biofuel production seen to be more successful – economically, ecologically – than

Essays in Financial Economics

Chapter 1 develops a framework to investigate the impact of the financial crisis starting in 2007 and employs an extended GARCH model to test for spillover and contagion effects originating from the financial sector. We find that the financial crisis affects financially distressed firms more heavily than non-distressed firms. Financial constraints do not play an equally crucial role during the cri
