Investigation of thermal loads for transverse mode instability in ytterbium-doped large mode area fibers by Xia, Nan, Yoo, Seongwoo

“…It is found that the thermal loads at TMI threshold greatly depend on a gain saturation effect and V-number in both the PD and non-PD fibers. Furthermore, even under the same saturation effect, average thermal load at TMI threshold varies with the Yb ion concentration while total thermal load remains unchanged regardless of the Yb concentrations. …”

Organics transformation and energy production potential in a high rate A-stage system: a demo-scale study by Cao, Shenbin, Lu, Dan, Phua, KianMing, Yan, Wangwang, Le, Chencheng, Tao, Guihe, Zhou, Yan

“…The developed A-stage process was demonstrated to be more effective for organics recovery compared to that operated with aeration (53.82% versus 40.94%), despite its relatively low total COD removal efficiency (54.3% versus 63.5% with aeration). Minor organics (accounted for 1.75% of incoming COD) was found to be lost in HRNS process. …”

Ethics of objectification in loving the other. by Lye, Wai Leng.

“…This relationship has been criticised for not respecting the nature of otherness, which lies in its very difference (Treanor 5). This difference does not stem from the other’s relation to the same, rather, the other is thought of as having an intrinsic and absolute difference.…”
