Optimization of water-saturated superabsorbent polymers for hydrate-based gas storage
Gas hydrates are an environmentally benign and cost-effective gas storage media that can store gas molecules in a lattice formed by hydrogen bonds between water molecules. To utilize gas hydrates on an industr...

Defect Susceptibility of Tensile Properties to Microporosity Variation in As-Cast Al–xSi Alloys
The defect susceptibility of tensile properties to microporosity variation in as-cast Al–xSi (x = 2, 5, 8, 11) binary alloys was investigated in relation to the effective void area fraction, which includes the ar...

Leveraging Children’s Behavioral Distribution and Singularities in New Interactive Environments: Study in Kindergarten Field Trips
The behavior observations on young children in new, first-in-the-life environments have significant implications. We can often uniquely observe a child’s unforeseen interaction with the environment and peer-ch...

Numerical simulation of the supersonic flows in the second throat ejector-diffuser systems
The supersonic ejector-diffuser system with a second throat was simulated using CFD. A fully implicit finite volume scheme was applied to solve the axisymmetric Navier-Stokes equations and a standard k-ɛ turbu...

Scaling of the Distribution of Shortest Paths in Percolation
We present a scaling hypothesis for the distribution function of the shortest paths connecting any two points on a percolating cluster which accounts for (i) the effect of the finite size of the system and (ii...
