The use of shape memory alloy (SMA) wires as active tendons to reduce vibra-tion of a building model is analytically investigated. Approximate dynamic equations for one bay of a multi-story building with SMA tendons are derived based on laws of thermodynamics and Brinson's constitutive equations. These equations are u…

Influences of Ni impurity on the removability of primary scale in hydraulic descaling were investigated in 0.02 and 0.1 mass% Si mild steels. And the thickness distribution of residual scale was discussed in relation to the unevenness of the scale/steel interface. The removability of primary scale reduced due to the e…

We describe the growth and spectroscopy of well-defined mixed crystals of KH2PO4 (KDP) containing both natural and synthetic organic dyes in the {010} and {101} growth sectors. Our summary reevaluates historical dye inclusions, reveals others discovered in a directed screening, and ultimately describes dyes rationally…

The influence of cellular surface hydrophobicity on the adherence capacity to plastic of Candida albicans was investigated at two culture temperatures (37 and 22 degrees C). The majority of the 42 strains studied were hydrophobic at 22 degrees C and hydrophilic at 36 degrees C. The hydrophobic cells showed a consisten…

Ab-initio X-ray powder diffraction (see cover for typical spectra) is shown to be a powerful structural tool for (i) insoluble, thermally unstable, compounds which cannot be (re)crystallised from solution or from the melt; (ii) metastable phases destroyed or modified upon manipulation; (iii) twins; (iv) very small cry…

The creation of electrical contacts between selected copper rings on a commercial circuit board by a novel method is reported. The method relies on spatially coupled electrodissolution and electrodeposition mediated by an electric field, followed by electroless deposition. The Figure shows an example of a conductive w…

Inductively coupled, radiofrequency-induced plasmas of allyl alcohol, operated at low electrical power (1–8 W), have been investigated using mass spectrometry (MS) and deposition rate measurements. The solid, plasma polymer product was collected on silicon substrates and analysed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (X…

A one-dimensional material model of lead magnesium niobate (PMN) is presented. The model includes saturation phenomenology, but excludes hysteresis and dispersion. (Constant temperature is assumed.) It is shown that the strain can be taken to respond as an exactly quadratic function in the electric displacement D thro…

Hydroxyphenyl-substituted metalloporphyrins have been electropolymerized as films onto ITO substrates. An ether bond between the phenyl rings of two monomers links the porphyrin units, leaving the porphyrin macrocycles undisturbed. During electrochemical oxidation of the films using a 0.0−0.9 V potential window, a sin…

It is a well known fact that PD (partial discharge) affects the lifetime and the deterioration rate of an insulation. Research work has shown that a mixture of magnitudes and frequencies of PD may appear, depending on the type of the applied voltage, its frequency, the electrode arrangement, the type of the insulation…

The sensitivity of a porous silicon Schottky barrier photodetector is much improved through rapid thermal oxidation and rapid thermal annealing processes. Under our optimum preparation conditions, photocurrent can reach about 21 mA (under 22.4 mW/cm/sup 2/ tungsten lamp illumination) and dark current is about 5.4 /spl…

A test setup able to accommodate dish shaped electrodes for gaps up to /spl sim/20 cm is being used to study large gap effects. This experiment, in connection with other authors' experiments, underlines the three more characteristic aspects of the large gap case: a voltage effect, a current effect and a gas effect. Th…

The kinetics of weak gelation is modelled as a system of spherical particles interacting with sticky hard-sphere pair potentials. Gradual cross-linking of primary particles to form disordered non-close-packed aggregates of greater total excluded volume than the separate non-bonded primary particles leads to a steady i…

The presence of metal particles within a gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) might initiate a sparkover and lead to fatal failure of an electric power transmission system. In order to investigate the behavior of a particle in a GIS, the model electrodes and the measuring system are constructed. The motion of a particle was…
