TL;DR: In this paper, a resistor model for wall temperature prediction in diesel engines with piston cooling is presented, which uses the instantaneous in-cylinder pressure and some usually measured operational parameters to predict the temperature of the structural elements of the engine.

TL;DR: A comparison of kraft and hydrolytic lignins as precursors for physically activated carbons has been carried out in this paper, where it was found that the presence of inorganic impurities (mainly Na 2 CO 3 ·Na 2 SO 4 ) had a significant influence on their behavior during pyrolysis in N 2 and activation in CO 2 or steam.

TL;DR: In this article, a theory of symmetric functions in non-commuting variables was developed, analogous to the theory of the monomial, power sum, elementary, complete homogeneous, and Schur symmetric function.
Abstract: Consider the algebra Q >of formal power series in countably many noncommuting variables over the rationals. The subalgebra Π(x 1 , x 2 ,...) of symmetric functions in noncommuting variables consists of all elements invariant under permutation of the variables and of bounded degree. We develop a theory of such functions analogous to the ordinary theory of symmetric functions. In particular, we define analogs of the monomial, power sum, elementary, complete homogeneous, and Schur symmetric functions as well as investigating their properties.

TL;DR: In this article, the electrochemical behavior of phenol, using glassy carbon (GC) modified electrodes containing a hydrotalcite (HT)-like clay and anionic surfactants such as sodium octyl sulfate (SOS), sodium dodecyl sulfates (SDS), or sodium doddecylbenzenesulfonate (SDBS) in alkaline media, was examined.

TL;DR: It is found that the diffusion constant for vortex motion is given at ${T}_{c}$ by D\ensuremath{\simeq}0.2 (in units of nearest-neighbor distance squared per MC step per spin).
Abstract: We have performed Monte Carlo (MC) simulations on systems of L\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}L classical planar unit spins on square lattices, for L=6, 15, 30, 60, 90, and 200. The interaction between any two given spins S${\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}_{1}$ and S${\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}_{2}$ is given by -JS${\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}_{1}$\ensuremath{\cdot}S${\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}_{2}$ if ${S}_{1}$ and ${S}_{2}$ are nearest neighbors and vanishes otherwise. In order to make sure that our results correspond to equilibrium values, we have looked into the time-dependent properties of this model in the vicinity of critical temperature (${T}_{c}$). We have found that the diffusion constant for vortex motion is given at ${T}_{c}$ by D\ensuremath{\simeq}0.2 (in units of nearest-neighbor distance squared per MC step per spin). The values of the relaxation times follow from the value of D. Our computer running times were typically ${10}^{5}$ MC steps per spin, larger than any relaxation time for the system sizes we deal with. We use a procedure based on finite-size scaling to establish the value of ${T}_{c}$=0.89J/${k}_{B}$, the value of \ensuremath{
u}=0.5\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.1, and the value of ${\ensuremath{\eta}}_{c}$=0.24\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.03, in agreement with the values predicted by the Kosterlitz-Thouless theory.
