This paper studies the effect of two different parameters on the different fractions obtained in the catalytic pyrolysis of HDPE using HZSM-5. On one hand, the influence of the heating rate on the results obtained has been studied by selecting…

The harmonic balance method is used to construct approximate frequency–amplitude relations and periodic solutions to the relativistic oscillator. By combining linearization of the governing equation with the harmonic balance method, we construct analytical approximations to the oscillation frequencies and periodic…

A review of all known descriptions of immature stages of the species of the genera Scaeva Fabricius, 1805, Ischiodon Sack, 1913 and Simosyrphus Bigot, 1882 is presented using SEM illustrations. The third instar larval and/or pupal morphology of Scaeva dignota…

A procedure to determine the best image range of distances that can be obtained from an aphakic eye is presented. Corneal surfaces are calculated from videokeratographic data. Light distributions at different distances inside the eye are calculated with a near-field…

Despite the many health benefits, physical activity trends in females have been consistently reported to be lower than that of males. Other demographic variables may also be related to sport participation. The purpose of this study was to explore the…

Bleached holograms are one of the most interesting techniques used to produce phase holograms of high quality on photographic emulsions. Of particular interest is the method of fixation-free rehalogenating bleaching. Using Kogelnik's coupled-wave theory we shall obtain information about the…

We present three ways of treating the problem of fluid flow in a hollow cylinder. One method involves a differential equation, and the other two involve more physical insight. We discuss the relative advantages of each method., The following article…

Cables are one of the common structures studied in a first-year engineering mechanics course (statics), since the flexible cable is one of the usual methods of supporting loads. For example, the suspension bridge has been used for many centuries and…

Ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) material containing 20 wt% vinyl acetate (EVA20) was
treated with corona discharge to improve its adhesion to polychloroprene adhesive. Several experimental variables in the corona discharge treatment of EVA20 were considered: corona energy, type of electrode,…

Two new species of Enclisis Townes, 1970 from Spain are described and illustrated: E. dichroma sp. n. and E. schwarzi sp. n. The new species are distinguished from the closest species E. infernator and E. ornaticeps by head and leg…
