Ultrafine-grained titanium produced by equal channel angular pressing and subsequent cold rolling is studied by Xray diffraction. It is found that a texture exists in which the hexagonal basal planes are parallel to the longitudinal axis of the billet. The crystallite size distribution and the dislocation structure ar…

Abstract Measurements have been made of the degradation rates for poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) and nitrocellulose with cellulose acetate (NC) in x‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy. These materials form part of earlier studies published by others to evaluate instrumental degradation factors. In the earlier studies, results…

A comparison analysis has been undertaken to study the effect of different wood fillers on density and mechanical properties of two different types of commercial polyurethane (PUR) foams: low-density flexible foams and high-density rigid foams. The micro-fillers used were based on wood flour particles of size 70-250 m…

We present a numerically efficient steady-state finite-element solver for electromechanical devices incorporating magnetic saturation in which the magnetization of ferromagnetic materials is modeled as a field-dependent equivalent current density. We use a Lagrangian representation of continuum variables, thereby remo…

The Raman-active phonons in perovskite-like LaMn1−xCoxO3 (x=0, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, and 1.0) are studied by measuring the Raman spectra at temperatures of 295 and 5 K. The changes in the spectra with Co doping are correlated with the decrease of the orthorhombic distortions. Surprisingly, more phonon lines are observed than…

Abstract We present a three‐dimensional simulation of scanning electron microscope (SEM) images and surface charging. First, the field above the sample is calculated using Laplace's equation with the proper boundary conditions; then, the simulation algorithm starts following the electron trajectory outside the sample…

Diprora haenaensis gen. et sp. nov. Main, an araphid filamentous diatom, is described from a cryptic, pseudoaerial habitat in Kaua'i, Hawaiian Islands. The valve ends of this new diatom have pervalvar extensions of the mantle edges, termed here prows. The frustules are heavily silicified and usually heterovalvar (one…

Heterogeneous platinum catalysts (Pt/SiO 2 ) obtained by the sol-gel process at pH 3 and 9 have been used in the hydrosilylation reaction of 1-alkynes using various silanes. Once the catalysts were activated they were used in the hydrosilylation of 1-alkynes after a short induction period. The product distribution was…

The oil sands industry in Alberta (Canada) has developed the composite tailings (CT) process to reduce the fluid fine tails resulting from the processing of oil sands. This process uses a chemical coagulant (gypsum or alum) to produce aggregated fines (clay), so they are retained with the coarse sand fraction of the e…
