Low load operation of turbine-driven boiler feed pumps by Clark, John Shaun

“…The main recommendations from the case studies were as follows: i. to stroke the steam admission valves as per the design charts, ii. to test the operation of the BFPT down to 40 % generator load, iii. to keep the pump leak-off philosophy unchanged, iv. to maintain the cooling water system and condensers sufficiently to avoid poor condenser vacuum, v. to reconsider the decommissioning of the “cold reheat” steam supply, vi. and, to favour use of the BFPT over the electric feed pumps at all generator loads.…”

Oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane with carbon dioxide over iron-nickel nano-alloys supported on metal oxide overlayers by Raseale, Shaine

“…Promoters such as Fe-based oxides have been studied to enhance the CO2-activation functionality and stability of the oxides [5]. A Density Functional Theory (DFT) study suggested that bimetallic alloys can have superior activity for CO2-activation compared to their monometallic counterparts [16]. …”

Pathways of intracellular protein degradation in cultured muscle cells by Bates, Pamela Joy

“…In the case of 'short-lived' proteins (pre-labelled for 1 hour), the initial degradation rate was 6,5% per hour, which rapidly declined, reaching the basal rate of 1,5 % after 4 h. …”

Influence of Processed Natural Black Sand vs. Natural White Sand and Silica Flour as Additives to Oil-Well Cementing Applications by Abuel Maaty, Ramy

“…Phase #1 (Pilot Phase) compared natural black sand and white sand additives to Portland cement without any other additives in ambient conditions and water to cement ratio (W/C) of 0.5. Phase #2 of the experiments studied the impact of natural black sand and white sand on Portland cement, with the addition of anti-foam and dispersant, under a testing temperature of 100 F, a pressure of 4400 psi, and W/C ratio of 0.46. …”
