We present a procedure to produce single-phase PdP2 nanocrystals (NCs). The approach involves the reaction of palladium(II) acetylacetonate and hexamethylphosphoroustriamide to nucleate defective Pd5P2 nanoparticles that ...

A fixed-grid-porous-media method capable of simulating the growth and densification of frost sheets is here presented. A velocity field is calculated across the entire domain, in which a porous media treatment is given to ...

The so-called Locally Resonant Acoustic Metamaterials (LRAM) are considered for the design of specifically engineered devices capable of stopping waves from propagating in certain frequency regions (bandgaps), this making ...

Energy recovery elements play a major role in the efficiency and sustainability of building ventilation systems. The use of a sensible or total energy recovery ventilator is a key decision for ventilation systems designers. ...

Tropospheric ozone (O3) is an environmental pollutant of growing concern, especially in suburban and rural areas where the density of air quality monitoring stations is not high. In this type of areas citizen science ...

Acid mine waters (AMWs) are characterized by a low pH, high concentrations of transition metals (iron, copper, zinc), and the presence of highly valuable metals such as rare earth elements (REE) at lower concentrations. ...

Synthetic jets are produced by the oscillatory movement of a membrane inside a cavity, causing the fluid to enter and leave through a small orifice. The present study is focused on investigating the cooling capabilities ...

Duplex and superduplex stainless steels are characterised by high corrosion resistance and high mechanical strength. However, these steels can suffer formation of secondary brittle phases when they reach temperatures between ...

Environmental concerns regarding global warming and ozone depletion urge towards sustainable solutions for satisfying the increasing cooling demand. Adsorption cooling technology could form part of the solution since it ...

Crowdsourced data in science might be severely error-prone due to the inexperience of annotators participating in the project. In this work, we present a procedure to detect specific structures in an image given tags ...
