Analysis and Prevention of Usable Fiber Loss from a Fine Paper Mill
Reducing losses of usable waste fiber from paper mills conserves valuable resources and has the capacity to produce considerable economic returns to the manufacturer. The purpose of this research effort was to evaluate the potential for the prevention of loss and/or recovery of usable waste fiber …

Steam Explosion Pretreatment of Cotton Gin Waste for Fuel Ethanol Production
… burs, stems, motes (immature seeds) and cotton fiber, and is considered to be a lignocellulosic material. The three main chemical constituents are cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. Cellulose and hemicellulose are polysaccharides of primarily fermentable sugars, glucose and xylose …

Design and Analysis of Hardware-Based Scheduler and Multi-Photon Quantum Cryptography Protocol
… method is analyzed to take into account the fiber loss and collective-rotation noise. Compared with single photon protocols, the multi-photon protocol has longer transmission distance with better noise tolerance. Scheduling overheads in multiprocessor systems are typically ignored. However, …

Hardwood whole tree chips: a fuel storage model analysis
… from an overhead conveyor. Moisture content, fiber loss, ash, specific gravity, higher heating value (HHV), temperature, packing density and pH were the variables examined and from these changes, Total Net Heating Value was estimated. Moisture content and packing density showed a significant …

Mechanical and optical behavior of a novel optical fiber crack sensor and an interferometric strain sensor
… interpretation of measurements from an optical fiber sensor requires a full understanding of its mechanical response to external action and the corresponding change in optical output. To quantify the mechanical behavior it is necessary to know the mechanical properties of the fiber coatings. A …

Multiple-user quantum optical communication
… of polarization-entangled photons, as well as fiber loss and imperfect polarization restoration, on the throughput and fidelity of the system. Second, an error model is derived for an extension of this communication architecture that allows for the production and storage of three-party …

Fiber Optic Sensors for On-Line, Real Time Power Transformer Health Monitoring
… health monitoring. The first work is an optical fiber extrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometric sensor for PD detection. By filling SF6 into the sensor air cavity of the extrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometer sensor, the last potential obstacle that prevents this kind of sensors from being installed …

Isoform-Specific Roles of Extracellular Signal-Regulated Kinases in Pain
… signaling cascades may compensate for the loss of ERK1. This seems less probable since systemic MEK inhibition attenuates formalin-induced spontaneous nociceptive behaviors similarly in ERK1-/- and WT littermate controls. These experiments demonstrate an isoform-specific role for ERK2 on …

Peripheral polyneuropathy in type 2 diabetes mellitus and impaired glucose tolerance. Correlations between morphology, neurophysiology, and clinical findings
… of the sural nerve and intraepidermal nerve fiber loss in type 2 diabetes and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), in relation to glucose dysmetabolism, and clinical and neurophysiological measures of PN. Methods: Subjects were recruited from a prospective, population-based study of males from …
