The furan series of chemicals such as 2,5-dimethylfuran (DMF) and 2-methylfuran (MF) are promising alternative fuel candidates for internal combustion engines due to their advantages compared to gasoline. However, no research has been published on the optical diagnostics of their combustion...

For in-cylinder fuel mixture distribution measurement, a method for designing a multi-component fuel for planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF) experiments is developed based on thermal gravity analysis and vapor-liquid equilibrium calculation. The goal is to create fuel that has a volatility...

Power cable engineering is a critical method for urban power supply, and ductbank laying of cables is a way of underground cable lines. Considering the cost and construction, MPP pipes with poor heat dissipation performance are often used in ductbank. Many cables are arranged densely in the...

A novel single-ended travelling wave fault location method applicable to the distribution network with multi-branches is presented in this paper. The method only depends on the arrival times of the initial aerial-mode and zero-mode travelling wave, and it can solve the truncation error problem...

In an era when most societies are coping with greater demand for health resources, choices will have to be made about the provision of health services. Strategic health planning must take into account the comparative burden of diseases and injuries, and the risk factors that cause them, and how...

This volume is a single up-to-date source on the entire global epidemiology of diseases, injuries and risk factors with a comprehensive statement of methods and a complete presentation of results. It includes refined methods to assess data, ensure epidemiological consistency, and summarize the...
