The transitions and reactions involved in the thermal treatment of several commercial azodicarbonamides (ADC) in an inert atmosphere have been studied by dynamic thermogravimetry analysis (TGA), mass spectrometry and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. A pseudo-mechanistic model, involving several competitive…

This article proposes an ontology-based topological representation of remote-sensing images. Semantics, especially related to the topological relationships between the objects represented, are not explicit in remote-sensing images and this fact limits spatial analysis. Our aim is to provide an explicit…

The main step in the production of carbon nanofilaments is the catalytic nucleation and lengthening of the filament. An undesired parallel step in
the production of carbon nanofilaments is their thickening by pyrolitic carbon vapor deposition consisting in an ordered…

Regulatory pressures and strong competitiveness, as well as the need to control costs and remain up to date with information technologies have turned outsourcing into a basic tool at the disposal of financial entities. Our paper has as its aim…

The ability to produce maximal short term power plays important role in success and tactical economy in competitive road cycling. There are no current studies relating the isokinetic strength parameters of lover limb muscles to sprinting power in high level…

In recent years, a number of quantitative methods have been identified and developed with the specific intent of assisting the objective analysis of athletic performance (Nelson & Groom, 2012). The main aim of this research was to clarify the importance…

The publication of the American College of Sport Medicine (ACSM) Position Stand on Physical Activity and Exercise for Older Adults and the release of the US Government Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans have emphasized the need for the development of…

Previously we described a large collection of cloned human DNAs that encode chemically defined missense mutations
within the ribosomal protein S14 sequence. We determined that biologically inactive (i.e. null) alleles resulted primarily
from point mutations targeted to two internal segments…

The electrochemical oxidation of para-, meta- and ortho-aminophenols was carried out using a platinum electrode in aqueous acid medium. The spectroscopic results indicate that p-aminophenol suffers hydrolysis giving the formation of hydroquinone/p-benzoquinone.
CO2 has been detected by in situ FTIR…

Two Lidstedt-Poincaré perturbation based methods are used to solve the nonlinear differential equation of a nonlinear oscillator having the square of the angular frequency depends quadratically on the velocity. Mickens published two interesting papers [1, 2] about this oscillator and…
