In the present work we study the hydroxide activation (NaOH and KOH) of phenol-formaldehyde resin derived CNFs prepared by a polymer blend technique to prepare highly porous activated carbon nanofibres (ACNFs). Morphology and textural characteristics of these ACNFs were studied…

The Serbian education system severely deteriorated after a series of conflicts and NATO bombings dismantled the nation from the 1990's-2000. Although violence is not uncommon to schools around the world, researchers have demonstrated that the long term effects of war…

European species of the genus Phradis Förster, 1869 are reviewed. A new species from Spain, Phradis mediterraneus sp. n., is described and illustrated. A key to all 24 European species and data on distribution and biology of these species are…

This thesis attempts to historicize our understandings of economic rationality and economic action, specifically in the period leading up to the South Sea Bubble of 1720, an event which seemingly remains shrouded in mystery. The fundamental question addressed is what…

La tesis recoge el trabajo desarrollado para implementar un sistema de digitalización de señales electrónicas procedentes de un detector de centelleo, tipo phoswich, y el estudio de la forma de éstas para poder determinar el tipo de radiación ionizante que…

An analytical approximate procedure for a class of conservative single degree-of-freedom nonlinear oscillators with odd non-linearity is proposed. This technique is based on the generalized harmonic balance method in which analytical approximate solutions have rational forms. Unlike the classical harmonic…
