Voids in face-centered cubic (fcc) metals are commonly assumed to form via the aggregation of vacancies; however, the mechanisms of vacancy clustering and diffusion are not fully understood.In this study, we use computational modeling to provide a detailed insight into the structures and formation energies of primary vacancy clusters, mechanisms an
Experiments are performed in a dense-phase pneumatic conveying system of pulverized coal, and electrostatic signals and coal particle distribution images over cross-section of the pipeline at superficial gas velocities of 5.7 m/s, 6.9 m/s, and 8.1 m/s are obtained through use of electrostatic Wax sensor arrays (ESA) and electrical capacitance tomog
The goal of treatment of chronic hepatitis C is to achieve a sustained virological response, which is defined as exhibiting undetectable hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA levels in serum following therapy for at least six months.However, the current treatment is only effective in 50% of patients infected with HCV genotype 1, the most prevalent genotype i
