An Engineering Approach to Corrosion/Erosion Prediction (2006)

Abstract The corrosion and erosion predictions involve verification or derivation from the parameters in the Basis of Design for new oil and gas developments. The field design and operating data are partly developed from reservoir analyses, flow simulations, and thermodynamic models. These models provide necessary data to obtain the parameters controlling corrosion and erosion. One responsibility of a materials or corrosion engineer is to assure that engineers in the other disciplines develop the field specific information that is required for materials selection and corrosion control. With the current development of corrosion models the limitations in the accuracy of the corrosion prediction is often due to the limitation in accuracy of the input data, rather than the accuracy of the corrosion models themselves. This paper will discuss the types of operational and environmental parameters that are used for development of the corrosion/erosion control philosophy. It will discuss variations in these parameters from field to field and the common pitfalls in developing this data. The corrosion models are not expert systems and their use requires a sound understanding of the corrosion risks and the common pitfalls. The field operating history sometimes provides effective performance and field parameters that do not agree with laboratory testing. Since most corrosion prediction techniques are based on laboratory test results, they may miss these cases in predicting field performance. The paper will discuss corrosion control of production, process, and transportation facilities. The information required for internal corrosion control of multiphase gas pipelines is described.
Pulse shaping and compression by second-harmonic generation with quasi-phase-matching gratings in the presence of arbitrary dispersion (2000)

A theoretical treatment of group-velocity dispersion and higher-order dispersion effects on the second-harmonic-generation (SHG) process with longitudinally nonuniform quasi-phase-matching (QPM) gratings is presented. We show how these dispersion terms can be accounted for in the design of a QPM-SHG pulse shaper. Our numerical simulation results show that, if the proper dispersion correction is included in the QPM grating design, one can generate sub-10-fs transform-limited pulses at 400 nm by doubling the output of a Ti:sapphire oscillator.
Physiological responses to taste signals of functional food components (2018)

The functions of food have three categories: nutrition, palatability, and bioregulation. As the onset of lifestyle-related diseases has increased, many people have shown interest in functional foods that are beneficial to bioregulation. We believe that functional foods should be highly palatable for increased acceptance from consumers. In order to design functional foods with a high palatability, we have investigated about the palatability, especially in relation to the taste of food. In this review, we discuss (1) the identification of taste receptors that respond to functional food components; (2) an analysis of the peripheral taste transduction system; and (3) the investigation of the relationship between physiological functions and taste signals.

Bursting and critical layer frequencies in minimal turbulent dynamics and connections to exact coherent states (2018)

A new investigation identifies frequencies in minimal channel flow relevant to critical layer dynamics displayed by exact coherent states and shows their predominance over bursting frequencies away from the wall. It is also shown that strong bursts are related to the instability of coherent states.
Silicon nanophotonic integrated devices for networks-on-chip: Multiplexing and switching (2015)

In this paper we give a review on silicon nanophotonic integrated devices for networks-on-chip, including hybrid (de)multiplexers enabling more than two popular multiplexing technologies like wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM), polarization-division-multiplexing (PDM), as well as mode-division-multiplexing (MDM). Recent progresses on thermal-switchable silicon photonic devices are also discussed regarding the increasing demands for reconfigurable photonic networks-on-chip.
Sequences and Antimycoplasmic Properties of Longibrachins LGB II and LGB III, Two Novel 20-Residue Peptaibols fromTrichodermalongibrachiatum (2001)

Longibrachins are members of the class of natural Aib-containing peptides designated as peptaibols. Six longibrachins, LGA I−IV and LGB II and III, were purified from a Trichoderma longibrachiatum strain by a procedure employing several chromatography steps including reversed-phase HPLC. The amino acid sequence determination was based on a combination of liquid secondary ion mass spectrometry (LSIMS) and two-dimensional 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. Longibrachins are 20-residue peptaibols with a C-terminal phenylalaninol and either neutral (LGA; Gln18) or acidic (LGB; Glu18) character. Longibrachins LGB II and III have novel sequences. Both longibrachins LGA and LGB show significant bactericidal activity against mycoplasmas (Acholeplasma, Mycoplasma, and Spiroplasma), with minimal inhibitory concentrations in the range 1.56−12.5 μM (3−25 μg/mL), and also perturb the permeability of membrane bilayers. Longibrachin LGA IV is the most potent of the presently known 18−20-residue peptaibols. The antimicrobial and membrane-perturbing properties of longibrachins, which are described here for the first time, were shown to be correlated.

ACAPELLA-5K, a high-throughput automated genome and chemical analysis system (2004)

A capillary-based fluid handling system bas been developed to process 5000 samples in 8 hours. The system takes deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or other chemical samples and automatically processes them as specified in a user-defined protocol with aspiration, dispensing, mixing, thermal cycling, and imaging steps. A serial pipeline process is used to provide flexibility, reproducibility, and reliability for the samples prepared. This laboratory automation system dispenses 40-100 pL droplet volumes using piezoelectric reagent dispensers and prepares 1 or 2-/spl mu/L final reaction volumes, a 3 to 5-fold reduction in reagent usage over current (2003) state-of-the-art manual and automated instrumentation. Extensive testing of the system has been performed with the University of Washington Genome Center. Applications for ACAPELLA-5K include DNA sequencing, diagnostics, minimal residual disease quantification, drug discovery, environmental testing, forensics, protein crystallography, Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and so on.
High Performance Arcjet Engines (1994)

This effort sought to exploit advanced single crystal tungsten-tantalum alloy material for fabrication of a high strength, high temperature arcjet anode. The use of this material is expected to result in improved strength, temperature resistance, and lifetime compared to state of the art polycrystalline alloys. In addition, the use of high electrical and thermal conductivity carbon-carbon composites was considered, and is believed to be a feasible approach. Highly conductive carbon-carbon composite anode capability represents enabling technology for rotating-arc designs derived from the Russian Scientific Research Institute of Thermal Processes (NIITP) because of high heat fluxes at the anode surface. However, for US designs the anode heat flux is much smaller, and thus the benefits are not as great as in the case of NIITP-derived designs. Still, it does appear that the tensile properties of carbon-carbon can be even better than those of single crystal tungsten alloys, especially when nearly-single-crystal fibers such as vapor grown carbon fiber (VGCF) are used. Composites fabricated from such materials must be coated with a refractory carbide coating in order to ensure compatibility with high temperature hydrogen. Fabrication of tungsten alloy single crystals in the sizes required for fabrication of an arcjet anode has been shown to be feasible. Test data indicate that the material can be expected to be at least the equal of W-Re-HfC polycrystalline alloy in terms of its tensile properties, and possibly superior. We are also informed by our colleagues at Scientific Production Association Luch (NP0 Luch) that it is possible to use Russian technology to fabricate polycrystalline W-Re-HfC or other high strength alloys if desired. This is important because existing engines must rely on previously accumulated stocks of these materials, and a fabrication capability for future requirements is not assured.
Study of Potential Prophylactic and Antidotal Use of Scavenging Agents in Treatment of Cyanide Poisoning (1984)

The purpose of this project was to investigate the effectiveness of pretreatment with potential cyanide antagonists in protecting against the lethal effects of cyanide. The primary methodology used was LD50 studies in mice. Some studies involving intravenous infusion were done using rats. The data indicate that alpha-ketoglutaric acid is the most potent single chemoprophylactic agent reported in the literature. When a combination of alpha-ketoglutaric acid and sodium thiosulfate was administered to animals prior to injection of cyanide, the LD50 increased 20 fold compared to that in animals given saline pretreatment. This combination of alpha-ketoglutaric acid and sodium thiosulfate produced a 2.9-fold greater increase in LD50 than did the classic combination of sodium nitrite and sodium thiosulfate. Keywords: Chemotherapeutic agents; Toxins and antitoxins.

An implication of e-commerce in textile and clothing industries: a relational Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) approach (2008)

The current usage of electronic commerce in the Hong Kong textile and clothing industries is mainly at e mail communication according to the survey of the e commerce adoption in the local industries conducted in June 2001. It is a question of how to move the current position of e-commerce adoption towards the full electronic business integration in these industries. Achieving an integrated e-commerce system in the industries could be accomplished by adopting a state of-art information technology. However, it is too costly and lack of knowledge of such technology for widespread adoption by these industries. This study proposes a cost-effective method for providing an integrated solution of e-commerce in the industries, especially for small-and-medium sized enterprises. Based on the proposed method, a pilot system is developed for evaluation and the performance of the pilot system is accepted by the field practitioners. The outcomes of this study are worthwhile for the small- and medium-sized enterprises as it proposes a means to achieve an integrated e-commerce environment in the textile and clothing industries.
Evaluating Common De-Identification Heuristics for Personal Health Information (2006)

Existing Canadian federal and provincial privacy laws help explain why it is difficult to create an identification data set for the whole population. That such examples of high re-identification risk exist for mainstream professions makes a strong case for not disclosing the high-risk variables and their combinations identified here. For professional subpopulations with published membership lists, many variables often needed by researchers would have to be excluded or generalized to ensure consistently low re-identification risk. Data custodians and researchers need to consider other statistical disclosure techniques for protecting privacy.
Inevitable Collision States: A probabilistic perspective (2010)

For its own safety, a robot system should never find itself in a state where there is no feasible trajectory to avoid collision with an obstacle. Such a state is an Inevitable Collision State (ICS). The ICS concept is particularly useful for navigation in dynamic environments because it takes into account the future behaviour of the moving objects. Accordingly it requires a model of the future evolution of the environment. In the real-world, the future trajectories of the obstacles are generally unknown and only estimates are available. This paper introduces a probabilistic formulation of the ICS concept which incorporates uncertainty in the model of the future trajectories of the obstacles. It also presents two novel probabilistic ICS-checking algorithms that are compared with their deterministic counterpart.

Evaluation and Development of Low‐Phytate Crops (2009)

Phytic acid has a strong negative charge that is maintained over a wide pH range. Its six phosphate groups form "phytate" or "phytin" salts of various mineral cations. Humans consuming plant-based diets rich in phytate are at risk for iron and zinc deficiency. Food processing and preparation techniques, including thermal processing, mechanical processing, soaking and fermentation have been shown to decrease phytate levels. This chapter explains an approach using plant genetics to reduce seed phytic acid levels in major crop plants. Low phytic acidmutants (lpa) have been identified via phenotypic screens of mutagenized plants. The development of the quick and simple screen for relative seed inorganic P levels on a single-seed basis allowed for the effective and efficient screening of large populations of mutagenized plants. One objective of isolating lpa mutations was "forward genetics" to understand the function and role of genes important to phytic acid synthesis.
Mechanical Durability of Flexible Printed Circuit Boards Containing Thin Coverlays Fabricated with Poly(Amide-Imide-Urethane)/Epoxy Interpenetrating Networks (2021)

Because electronics are becoming flexible, the demand for techniques to manufacture thin flexible printed circuit boards (FPCBs) has increased. Conventional FPCBs are fabricated by attaching a coverlay film (41 μm) onto copper patterns/polyimide (PI) film to produce the structure of coverlay/Cu patterns/PI film. Given that the conventional coverlay consists of two layers of polyimide film and adhesive, its thickness must be reduced to generate thinner FPCBs. In this study, we fabricated 25-μm-thick poly(amide-imide-urethane)/epoxy interpenetrating networks (IPNs) to replace the thick conventional coverlay. Poly(amide-imide-urethane) (PAIU) was synthesized by reacting isocyanate-capped polyurethane with trimellitic anhydride and then mixed with epoxy resin to produce PAIU/epoxy IPNs after curing. Thanks to the soft segments of polyurethane, the elongation of PAIU/epoxy IPNs increased with increasing PAIU content and reached over 200%. After confirming the excellent thermal stability and chemical resistance of the PAIU/epoxy IPNs, we fabricated FPCBs by equipping them as coverlays. The mechanical durability of the FPCBs was evaluated through an MIT folding test, and the FPCB fabricated with PAIU/ep-2 was stable up to 164 folding cycles because of the balanced mechanical properties.

Nanocomposite SPEEK/Titania Nanosheets (TNS) Proton Exchange Membranes for Fuel Cell Applications (2009)

SPEEK-based composite membranes containing various amounts of titania nanosheets (TNS) as inorganic fillers were investigated for proton exchange membrane fuel cell applications. The samples were characterized for water uptake, proton conductivity (EIS), and structural features (SEM and XRD). Composites at low inorganic additive contents exhibited improved properties in terms of proton conductivity and water uptake behavior. Best improvements were observed for the composite containing only 0.95 wt% of TNS. This result could be associated to the unique nature of the two dimensional nanostructure of the inorganic additive.
Influence of phantom head on measurementsof radiated fields of mobile phones (2001)

The influence of the phantom head on the required number of far-field measurement locations for the determination of radiation characteristics of mobile phones is examined at 1.8 GHz using the spherical wave expansion technique. Results show that e.g. the total radiated power of mobile phones can be determined with about 50 measurement locations with an uncertainty of less than 0.1 dB.
In Vivo Analysis of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae HO Nuclease Recognition Site by Site-Directed Mutagenesis (1990)

HO nuclease introduces a specific double-strand break in the mating-type locus (MAT) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, initiating mating-type interconversion. To define the sequence recognized by HO nuclease, random mutations were produced in a 30-base-pair region homologous to either MAT alpha or MATa by a chemical synthesis procedure. The mutant sites were introduced into S. cerevisiae on a shuttle vector and tested for the ability to stimulate recombination in an assay that mimics mating-type interconversion. The results suggest that a core of 8 noncontiguous bases near the Y-Z junction of MAT is essential for HO nuclease to bind and cleave its recognition site. Other contacts must be required because substrates that contain several mutations outside an intact core reduce or eliminate cleavage in vivo. The results show that HO site recognition is a complex phenomenon, similar to promoter-polymerase interactions.
Distributed multi-context interactive rendering (2019)

Hydraulic fracturing optimization : experimental investigation of multiple fracture growth homogeneity via perforation cluster distribution (2016)

Hydraulic fracturing is a reservoir stimulation technique used in the petroleum industry since 1947. High pressure fluid composed mainly of water generates cracks near the wellbore improving the surrounding permeability and enhancing the flow of oil and gas to the surface. Advances in hydraulic fracturing coupled with developments in horizontal drilling, have unlocked vast quantities of unconventional resources, previously believed impossible to be produced.\nFracture creation induces perturbations in the nearby in-situ stress regime suppressing the initiation and propagation of other fractures. Neighboring fractures are affected by this stress shadow effect, causing them to grow dissimilarly and they receive unequal portions of the injected fluid. Numerical simulation models have shown that non-uniform perforation cluster distributions with interior fractures closer to the exterior ones can balance out these stress shadow effects, promoting more homogeneous multiple fracture growth compared to uniform perforation cluster distributions. In this work, laboratory-scale tests on three perforation configurations are performed on transparent specimens using distinctly colored fracturing fluids such that fracture growth can be observed. A normal faulting stress regime is replicated with the introduction of an overburden load in a confined space. \nThe results have shown that uniform perforation spacing configurations yields higher degree of fracture growth homogeneity, as maximum spacing minimizes stress shadow effects, compared to moving the middle perforation closer to the toe, or heel of the horizontal well. The experiments also showed a proclivity to form one dominant fracture. Time delay, neglected in most theoretical modelling studies, between fracture initiations is found to be a key parameter and is believed to be one of the major factors promoting this dominant fracture tendency along with wellbore pressure gradients. Moreover, in several cases, the injected bypassed perforation(s) to generate fracture(s) downstream. Finally, the compressibility of the fracturing fluid triggered somewhat unexpected transient pressure behavior.\nThe understanding of the stress shadow effects and what influences them could lead to optimization of hydraulic fracturing treatment design in terms of productivity and cost. Therefore, achieving more homogeneous multiple fracture growth patterns can be pivotal on the economic feasibility of several stimulation treatments.
