Criteria about concrete Strength Resistance of DRILLED STANDARDIZED specimens have been considered and occasionally explained by several authors in some of their work, but there is no publication devoted to the full extent of the subject,, reason why we are trying to put together results/ideas, expose them, and briefl…
Solid state synthesis associated to X-ray diffraction and free lime analysis have been carried out to determine proper conditions (chemical compositions, optimum time and temperature of burning) under which phosphatic belitic clinker is elaborated. Raw meals, at low lime saturation factor and added phosphate, can form…
We develop a model for Al-Co decagonal quasicrystals and approximants. Our model defines a large number of potential atomic positions. These sites are populated by two atomic that interact with each other through electronic-structure-based pair potentials. Monte Carlo simulation of the model produces realistic atomic…
The kinetics of oxygen reduction by Desulfovibrio salexigens Mast1 and the role of polyglucose in this activity were examined and compared with those of strains of D. desulfuricans and D. gigas. Oxidation rates were highest at air saturation (up to 40 nmol of O(2) min mg of protein) and declined with decreasing oxygen…
Heteroepitaxial [001]-oriented diamond films with considerably increased lateral grain size and strongly improved orientational perfection could be prepared by microwave plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition using a [001]-textured growth process on Si (001) substrates followed by a [110] step-flow growth process.…
The Zener pinning effect with growing second‐phase particles in Al 2 O 3 ‐ZrO 2 composite systems were studied by two‐dimensional (2‐D) computer simulations using a diffuse‐interface field model. In these systems, all second‐phase particles are distributed at grain corners and boundaries. The second‐phase particles gr…
A large number of experimental results in the literature support and illuminate a model of behavior of chains and chain segments in the amorphous phase of semicrystalline polymers connecting the elevation of the glass transition temperature (Tg) above its normal value to several kinds of motional restrictions imposed…
The self-polarization effect is investigated in Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 (PZT) thin films deposited by sol-gel and magnetron sputtering techniques. The effective piezoelectric coefficient of as-grown films, which is proportional to their initial polarization (self-polarization), is measured by a sensitive interferometric technique…
Energy dispersive x-ray diffraction (EDXRD) has been developed as a tool for the detection of explosives in passenger baggage. The measured spectra result from the combined diffraction from each of the materials within a scattering volume. Multivariate regression was used to identify known components within very noisy…
We present a mechanistic model for a Newtonian fluid called fluid particle hydrodynamics. By analyzing the concept of ``fluid particle'' from the point of view of a Voronoi tessellation of a molecular fluid, we propose a heuristic derivation of a dissipative particle dynamics algorithm that incorporates shear forces b…
An emulsion process has been developed for the direct synthesis of the emeraldine salt of polyaniline (PANI) that is soluble in organic solvents. The process entails formation of emulsion particles with a mean hydrodynamic diameter of 150 nm and consisting of a water-soluble organic solvent (e.g., 2-butoxyethanol), a…
Highly conductive and transparent aluminum- and gallium-doped zinc oxide (ZnO:Al and ZnO:Ga) thin films in place of indium tin oxide films have been prepared by using XeCl excimer laser ablation at relatively low temperatures. The impurity content of Al or Ga in the ZnO target was optimized on the basis of the measure…
Three‐dimensional (3‐D) computer simulations of ferroelectric domain formation and evolution were performed, using a computer simulation model based on the time‐dependent Ginsburg‐Landau equations. A cubic‐to‐tetragonal ferroelectric phase transition is considered. It is shown that the initial stage of the transition…
We compare experimentally observed electron energy loss spectra (EELS) of uranium dioxide UO2 and nickel monoxide NiO with the results of ab-initio calculations carried out by using a method combining the local spin density approximation and the Hubbard U term (the LSDA + U method). We show that by taking better accou…
In carbon dioxide (CO2) corrosion of steels, the bicarbonate ion (HCO3–) is simultaneously the buffer for carbonic acid (H2CO3), the source of iron carbonate (FeCO3) precipitation, and the product of the cathodic reaction. In addition to spatial separation of the production of Fe2+ and HCO3–, galvanic coupling between…
A model is presented which describes the effect of mechanical and materials parameters on the wear‐assisted corrosion rate of passive metals under sliding wear conditions. The model is based on a consideration of contact between the sliding surfaces at multiple asperities and it takes into account the passivation beha…
The intermediate steps of the phase transition between the metastable monoclinic ${\mathrm{VO}}_{2}(B)$ phase and the stable tetragonal rutile ${\mathrm{VO}}_{2}(R)$ phase have been studied by in situ electron microscopy. A crystallographic interpretation based on the static concentration waves theory is proposed: as…
