A Study on the Coffee Spilling Phenomena in the Low Impulse Regime
Abstract When a half-full Bordeaux glass is oscillated sideways at 4Hz, calm waves of wine gently ripple upon the surface. However, when a cylindrical mug is subject to the same motion, it does not take long for the liquid to splash aggressively...

Carbon and oxygen isotopic composition of coal and carbon dioxide derived from laboratory coal combustion: A preliminary study
Abstract The concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere has dramatically increased from the start of the industrial revolution in the mid-1700s to present levels exceeding 400ppm. Carbon dioxide derived from fossil fuel combustion is a...

A probabilistic approach to 21st century regional sea-level projections using RCP and High-end scenarios
Abstract Sea-level change is an integrated climate system response due to changes in radiative forcing, anthropogenic land-water use and land-motion. Projecting sea-level at a global and regional scale requires a subset of projections - one for each ...

Regression Models of the Nuclear Power Unit VVER-1000 Using Data Mining Techniques
Abstract Due to plenty of changes in many interrelated processes at nuclear power plants there is the need to show which values of some parameters of the nuclear power plant with VVER-1000 are better. In this task data mining techniques can be...

Alakit and Daldyn kimberlite fields, Siberia, Russia: Two types of mantle sub-terranes beneath central Yakutia?
Abstract Mineral data from Yakutian kimberlites allow reconstruction of the history of lithospheric mantle. Differences occur in compositions of mantle pyropes and clinopyroxenes from large kimberlite pipes in the Alakit and Daldyn fields. In the...
