MODELING AND FORECASTING OF DEPLETION OF ADDITIVES IN CAR ENGINE OILS USING ATTENUATED TOTAL REFLECTANCE FAST TRANSFORM INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY

Modeling and Forecasting of Depletion of Additives in Car Engine Oils Using Attenuated Total Reflectance Fast Transform Infrared Spectroscopy

On average, additives make up to 7% of a typical lubricant base.Commonly, they are blended with lube oils to enhance specific features thereby improving their qualities.Ultimately, additives participate in the performance of car engine oils.Using an analytical tool, attenuated total reflectance fast transform infrared spectroscopy, various grades o

A new vision of the origin and the oocyte development in the Ostariophysi applied to Gymnotus sylvius (Teleostei: Gymnotiformes)

Based on new knowledge coming from marine perciform species, the origin of oocytes and their development in the Ostariophysi, Gymnotus sylvius is described.In both Gymnotus sylvius and marine perciform fish, oogonia are found in the germinal epithelium that forms the surface of the ovarian lamellae.At the commencement of folliculogenesis, prolifera
