Magnetic field amplification in laser-produced plasmas by Meinecke, J

“…The standard model for the origin of galactic and intergalactic magnetic fields is through the generation of small seed fields by some mechanism (e.g. Biermann Battery) and the amplification of these seed fields via dynamo or turbulent processes to the level consistent with current observations. …”

Evolutionary and ecological insights from Cytinus: a plant within a plant by de Vega, C, Thorogood, CJ, Albaladejo, RG, Rakotonasolo, F, Hobbhahn, N, Martos, F, Burgoyne, PM, Johnson, SD

“…Cytinus species are externally invisible for most of their life, emerging from their hosts only to flower and set seed. Owing to this cryptic life cycle, the genus is poorly understood and is likely to include several hitherto undescribed species, particularly in threatened forest habitat in Madagascar. …”

Optimizing crystal size distribution based on different cooling strategies in batch crystallization process by Siti Zubaidah, Adnan, Noor Asma Fazli, Abdul Samad

Evaluating the performance of agricultural tractor engine using cottonseed oil biodiesel by Adnan, Fattah Khalid, Muhamad, Mat Noor, Abdulrahman, Ribwar Kermanj, Badruddin, Irfan Anjum, Kamangar, Sarfaraz

“…The Belarus 920 tractor, with a maximum output of 74.5kW, was put through a Power Take Off (PTO) test in this study to assess its performance and emission components when fueled with conventional petroleum diesel, B20, B50, and B100 of Cotton Seed Oil Biodiesel (CSOME). The performance results showed that the power and Break Thermal Efficiency (BTE) fell, while the BSFC improved, when the tractor was fueled with neat CSOME and its mixes.…”
