Expectiles are a least squares analogue of quantiles which have lately received substantial attention in actuarial and financial risk management contexts. Unlike quantiles, expectiles define coherent risk measures and are determined by tail expectations rather than tail probabilities; unlike the Expected Shortfall, they define elicitable risk measu...

A systematic study on the sonocrystallisation of ZIF-8 (zeolitic imidazolate framework-8) in a water-based system was investigated under different mixing speeds, ultrasound frequencies, calorimetric powers and sonication time. Regardless of the synthesis technique, pure crystals of ZIF-8 with high BET (Brunauer, Emmett and Teller) specific surface ...
Nanoparticles present unique physical and chemical properties compared with their counterparts, leading to potential applications in catalysis, electronics, and drug delivery. Since the properties of nanoparticles greatly depend on the size, it is important to synthesize nanoparticles with controlled size and a narrow size distribution. However, th...
Based on newly invented internal loop airlift slurry reactor integrating mixing and separation, hydrodynamics and mass transfer under different solid loadings and superficial gas velocities were systematically investigated, and mixing and mass transfer characteristics were studied. Additionally, some empirical models for these critical parameters a...

Harmful blooms of the filamentous cyanobacteria Planktothrix rubescens have become common in many lakes as they have recovered from eutrophication over the last decades. These cyanobacteria, capable of regulating their vertical position, often flourish at the thermocline to form a deep chlorophyll maximum. In Lake Zurich (Switzerland), they accumul...

Lombok Strait is one of the main exit passages of the Indonesian throughflow (ITF), connecting the interior Indonesian seas with the Indian Ocean. Satellite images have shown that this strait is also the most remarkable zone of the Indonesian seas for the generation of internal tides, which frequently evolve into internal solitary waves (ISWs). Her...
The development of air-breathing propulsion systems as a mean to propel high-altitude high-speed transport and single-stage-to-orbit (SSTO) vehicles promises to be a viable alternative to chemical rocket propulsion. In order to enhance mixing, an oblique shock wave is introduced into the combustion chamber as a source of baroclinic vorticity as wel...

Aggression resulting from mixing to establish a dominance hierarchy is a major welfare concern for group-housed sows. The associated stress can negatively impact aspects of reproductive performance. Objectives of this study were to investigate associations between 1) age at first service (AFS) and mixing aggression intensity in first parity sows, 2...
This paper will be focusing on sound mixing in film by using a comparative study. This article will try to find out if there is a way to use Michel Chion’s and Walter Murch’s sound design theories as design methods and compare them with each other. To test their theories we did our own sound design and sound mixing to a short film. During the mixin...
