This paper reports on the work undertaken to determine the effect of the gas type on the high repetition rate performance of a triggered corona stabilised (TCS) closing switch at a charging voltage of 23 kV. The voltage/pressure (V/p) characteristics as well as the ability of the switch to operate at high repetition r…

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: A triple-dose (TD) of gadolinium chelate is highly sensitive approach for detecting lesion activity in multiple sclerosis (MS). However, individual TD injections do not provide data on the severity of the pathologic process in a population of lesions, and its clinical use is limited by the cost…

The first criticality accident in Japan occurred in a uranium processing plant in Tokai-mura on September 30, 1999. The accident, which occurred while a large amount of enriched uranyl nitrate solution was being loaded into a tank, led to a chain reaction that continued for 20 h. Two workers who were pouring the urani…

Abstract A comparative crystallochemical study was performed on natural and synthetic hydrotalcite-like compounds with similar compositions. The nature of the brucite-like sheet stacking was addressed by means of powder X-ray diffraction. From the resulting electron diffraction patterns it was possible to establish th…

Insulator becomes wet partially or completely, and the pollution layer on it becomes conductive, when collecting pollutants for an extended period during dew, light rain, mist, fog or snow melting. Heavy rain is a complicated factor that it may wash away the pollution layer without initiating other stages of breakdown…

The differential sdlubility and thermal analysis of three kinds of polyester fibers designed for rotor, worsted ring, and carded ring spinning are measured. Poly(ethylene terephthalate) yarns are obtained through the three processes and then analyzed. Using a thermomechanical analyzer, the thermal transitions of the d…

This paper discusses the various methods for sulfur hexafluoride (SF/sub 6/) separation from a mixture of low concentrations of SF/sub 6/ in N/sub 2/ pressure swing adsorption (PSA) with a suitable kind of synthetic zeolite, which has the expected molecular sieving effect. This molecular sieving effect, derived from m…

A variety of directly-linked diporphyrins can be prepared by an oxidative coupling reaction of 5,15-diaryl metalloporphyrins. Regioselectivity of the coupling reaction depends on the metal in the porphyrin core; Zn II -porphyrins favor meso-meso coupling and Pd II -porphyrins favor meso-β coupling. β-β Linked diporphy…

A single-crystal investigation of spodumene from a granitic pegmatite in Minas Gerais, Brazil, was undertaken using neutron (54 K) and X-ray diffraction (room temperature) (R all = 2.8% and 1.9%, respectively). In both refinements, space group C2/c was assigned; the presence of several reflections violating the c glid…

The coordination of diphenyl(phenylacetenyl)phosphine (DPAP, 1) to (X)Rh(III)TPP (X = I (2) or Me (3); TPP = tetraphenyl porphyrin) was studied in solution and in the solid state. The iodide is readily displaced by the phosphine, leading to the bis-phosphine complex [(DPAP)(2)Rh(TPP)](I) (4). The methylide on rhodium…

The cold roller straightening operation is the most critical process for the development of residual stress in rails during manufacturing. Knowledge of the residual stress in ‘as-manufactured’ rails is important for evaluation of the fatigue behaviour of rails during actual use. While experimental investigations have…
