ENGINE PERFORMANCE ON ATOMIZATION OF FUEL INJECTOR: A REVIEW
The impact of the fuel injection of fuel atoms on engine performance has been investigated to improve fuel efficiency and waste disposal features. The fuel swirl method for injection atomization was evaluated both by the analysis of the fuel flow and the sample test. The goal of the paper is to establish good fuel atomization over the range of engine performance. As a result of our studies, it has been concluded that the desired atomization can be achieved when gasoline is thrown into a circular motion. Fuel spray and atomization features play an important role in the performance of internal combustion engines. An atomization study to evaluate the numerical fuel injection used in the IGC (Inner Guide-vane Combustor) under various combination and performance conditions has been performed to determine the suspension of the proposed fuel injection to be used in the IGC. Additional results have shown that a single-hole fuel injection, forward injection direction, and a splash of
Super Landau-Ginzburg mirrors and algebraic cycles
We investigate the super Landau-Ginzburg mirrors of gauged linear sigma
models which, in an appropriate low energy limit, reduce to nonlinear sigma
models with Kaehler supermanifold target spaces of nonnegative super-first

Spinodal Instabilities in Nuclear Matter in a Stochastic Relativistic Mean-Field Approach
Spinodal instabilities and early growth of baryon density fluctuations in
symmetric nuclear matter are investigated in the basis of stochastic extension
of relativistic mean-field approach in the semi-classical approximation.
Calculations are compared with the results of non-relativistic calculations
based on Skyrme-type effective interactions under similar conditions. A
qualitative difference appears in the unstable response of the system: the
system exhibits most unstable behavior at higher baryon densities around
in the relativistic approach while most unstable
behavior occurs at lower baryon densities around in
the non-relativistic calculationsComment: 18 pages, 7 figure
Oil palm smallholders and its sustainability practices in Malaysia
The demand for Palm oil has increasing over the several decades and it has led to criticisms and question about sustainability on biodiversity loss, water pollution and deforestation.This study aims to explore the sustainability of oil palm smallholders in Malaysia based on environmental, social and economic perspectives.The aim of the study is to examine the sustainability of smallholding scheme in Malaysia.A questionnaire survey was conducted with 50 smallholders in Terengganu state under the Federal Land Development Authority of Malaysia (FELDA).It’s revealed that most of the smallholders have sufficient knowledge of sustainability consistent with Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) and other local agricultural laws practices. The study also indicates that on social aspect, the smallholders have better quality of life through the provision of basic facilities.The study concludes that there is a high degree of sustainability amongst oil palm smallholders under the management of FELDA
The factors of selecting Malaysia as tourist destination
Tourism is an emerging economic sector for Malaysia.The purpose of this study is an attempt to understand the factors that attract tourists to visit Melaka State of Malaysia.The primary data were collected through questionnaire survey on 735 tourists who visited the state of Melaka, Malaysia.This study used descriptive statistics, confirmatory factor analysis, and structural equation modelling (SEM) in order to analyze and draw the inferences.Model fit was initially tested using the overall fit and regression paths. Then the hypothesized model was analysed and modified based on the results of the analysis to find a better fit of the data and to more adequately describe the relationships between the factors. The study found that several economic, environmental, cultural and community factors have positive significant influence in attracting tourists to Melaka
The response of a neutral atom to a strong laser field probed by transient absorption near the ionisation threshold
We present transient absorption spectra of an extreme ultraviolet attosecond pulse train in helium dressed by an 800 nm laser field with intensity ranging from W/cm to W/cm. The energy range probed spans 16-42 eV, straddling the first ionisation energy of helium (24.59 eV). By changing the relative polarisation of the dressing field with respect to the attosecond pulse train polarisation we observe a large change in the modulation of the absorption reflecting the vectorial response to the dressing field. With parallel polarized dressing and probing fields, we observe significant modulations with periods of one half and one quarter of the dressing field period. With perpendicularly polarized dressing and probing fields, the modulations of the harmonics above the ionisation threshold are significantly suppressed. A full-dimensionality solution of the single-atom time-dependent Schr odinger equation obtained using the recently developed ab-initio time-dependent B-spline ADC method reproduce some of our observations
A complete characterization of plateaued Boolean functions in terms of their Cayley graphs
In this paper we find a complete characterization of plateaued Boolean
functions in terms of the associated Cayley graphs. Precisely, we show that a
Boolean function is -plateaued (of weight ) if and only
if the associated Cayley graph is a complete bipartite graph between the
support of and its complement (hence the graph is strongly regular of
parameters ). Moreover, a Boolean function is
-plateaued (of weight ) if and only if the associated
Cayley graph is strongly -walk-regular (and also strongly
-walk-regular, for all odd ) with some explicitly given
parameters.Comment: 7 pages, 1 figure, Proceedings of Africacrypt 201
