Abstract Demicheleite-(I), ideally BiSI, is the iodine-dominant analogue of demicheleite-(Br) and demicheleite-(Cl). It was found in an active medium-temperature intracrateric fumarole at La Fossa crater, Vulcano Island, Aeolian archipelago, Sicily, Italy. The mineral is the first bismuth sulphoiodide so far discovere…

In this Article, we provided the complete phase diagram of NdFeAsO(1-x)F(x) solid solution as a function of electron doping thanks to the careful determination of F- and O-content and phase content. We gave direct evidence of the source of F-depletion in the superconducting main phase, that is, the formation of oxyflu…

Although after cracking, concrete has negligible tension capacity, the intact concrete between cracks within the tension zone of a reinforced concrete beam can still develop significant tensile stresses to contribute to the flexural stiffness of the concrete beam. Such a tension stiffening effect in a flexural member…

The modification on microstructure of diamond films due to the incorporation of H2 species into the Ar/CH4 plasma was systematically investigated. While the hydrogen-free plasma produced the ultrananocrystalline diamond films with equiaxed grains (about 5 nm in size), the hydrogen-containing plasma resulted in plateli…

Single-walled carbon nanotubes have been filled with cobalt bromide. The microstructure, optical properties, and effect of the introduced CoBr 2 compound on the electronic structure of the nanotubes have been studied. It has been shown that the electron density in the resulting nanocomposites is transferred from the w…

Chlorins bearing a six-membered imide ring spanning positions 13-15, commonly referred to as purpurinimides, exhibit long-wavelength absorption yet have heretofore only been available via semisynthesis from naturally occurring chlorophylls. A concise route to synthetic chlorins, which bear a geminal dimethyl group in…

The conditions that favor the in vitro synthesis of cellulose from tobacco BY-2 cell extracts were determined. The procedure leading to the highest yield of cellulose consisted of incubating digitonin extracts of membranes from 11-day-old tobacco BY-2 cells in the presence of 1 mM UDP-glucose, 8 mM Ca(2+) and 8 mM Mg(…

The partial discharge (PD) measurements are considered as the most important tool for condition monitoring of Gas Insulated Switchgears (GISs). However, if spacer surface is involved in PD activity, charge accumulation process greatly affects the time transition of PD characteristics. This paper investigates this effe…
