Piston-powered aircrafts rely on 100 low lead (100LL) Aviation Gasoline (AVGAS) for safe operation.AVGAS has high levels of Tetraethyl Lead (TEL).TEL is an additive which is added in aviation fuels to assist in anti-knocking.The main reason for continuation of TEL as an additive in AVGAS is because aircraft engines are prone to engines knock when o
Citations increase with manuscript length, author number, and references cited in ecology journals
Abstract Most top impact factor ecology journals indicate a preference or requirement for short manuscripts; some state clearly defined word limits, whereas others indicate a preference for more concise papers.Yet evidence from a variety of academic fields indicates that within journals longer papers are both more positively reviewed by referees an
Small pieces make the big picture: the etiology of the relationship between executive functions and personality traits
Abstract Background This study primarily aimed to explore the etiology of the phenotypic relationships between personality traits and executive functions.We assessed common genetic and environmental sources of variance in these phenomena by examining different dimensions of the Five Factor Model (FFM) and executive function factors.An additional re
Inhibiting the Segregation of Germanium in Silver Nanolayers
It is generally acknowledged that using germanium as a wetting film for silver nanolayers decreases the surface roughness of the metal.However, germanium atoms also tend to segregate towards Garden Flag the surface of silver films, increasing ohmic losses in the structure.Here we propose an Au/Ge/Ag based structure where the segregation of germaniu
