Abstract The effects of a low frequency electromagnetic field applied during semi-continuous direct-chill casting on AZ80 ingots were investigated. The experiments were performed both in the absence and in the presence of the electromagnetic field. In contrast to the ingot cast in the conventional process, the microst…
An investigation into the spectroscopic analysis of cotton waxes on Australian cottons was undertaken. The chemical composition of cotton wax is complex and contains a number of lipid classes. Infrared transmission spectroscopy coupled with principal component analysis was found to be capable of discriminating between…
For some microelectromechanical system (MEMS) applications, the conditions of operation, high temperature, high stress, etc., can be very severe. Under these conditions the piezoelectric performance of polar material can decrease due to a partial (or a total) depoling induced by external excitations. So, it is importa…
Abstract Pale yellow single crystals of Sm 2 (SeO 3 )(Se 2 O 5 ) 2 (monoclinic, P 2 1 / c , Z = 4, a = 1003.6(2), b = 1022.5(2), c = 1287.3(2) pm, β = 112.3(2)°) were obtained from the reaction of Sm 2 O 3 and SeO 2 at 350 °C in a sealed glass ampoule. In the crystal structure both Se 2 O 5 2− and SeO 3 2− groups conn…
Frequency dependence of dielectric constant and coercive field are investigated for PbZr0.4Ti0.6O3 (PZT) capacitors. The calculations base on the in-series capacitor model show that the dielectric constant followe an universal-law dependence with various bias, which could be interpreted by constant phase model. The co…
The crystal structure of rubidium oxalate monohydrate, Rb 2 (C 2 O 4 ) · H 2 O, has been refined using an imaging-plate diffractometer system and graphite-monochromatized Mo K α radiation. The complex crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group C 2/ c , with unit cell dimensions of a = 9.617(6), b = 6.353(5), c…
Abstract The recent development of the method for analyzing repassivation rate by a rapid scratch test and high field conduction model makes it possible to predict SCC susceptibility more quantitatively but it is impossible to distinguish the repassivation rates with a little difference due to the inaccurate measureme…
A panel of nitro substituted 5,15-diaryl-porphyrins, featuring nitro groups either on the phenyl rings or on one of the two free meso-positions, was synthesized. In the former category, compounds 5-(3-nitrophenyl)-15-phenylporphyrin, 5,15-di(3-nitrophenyl)porphyrin and 5-(4-nitrophenyl)-15-phenylporphyrin were obtaine…
In this paper, an efficient genetic algorithm has placed burnable poisons (BPs) into all of the fresh fuel positions in the core employing the optimized BP configurations and techniques developed in two previous papers. Of importance was the previous development of a Kinf filter, which greatly reduced the computationa…
Abstract The thermodynamic properties of the Al –Na and Na–Al – H systems have been assessed by combining the “calculation of phase diagram” approach with first-principles predictions. The Gibbs energies of the individual phases were thermodynamically modeled, where the model parameters were obtained from best fit opt…
Abstract Fracture-mechanics experiments were carried out on ultrafine-grained (UFG) samples of copper, titanium and an Al alloy to obtain the fracture behaviour under static and cyclic loading. The UFG-materials investigated show crack resistance behaviour under static loading, which was confirmed by ductile fracture…
Lanthanum chromite (LaCrO3) is one of the most adequate materials for use as interconnector in solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) applications, due to its intrinsic properties, namely its good electrical conductivity and resistance to environment conditions in fuel cell operations. Due to difficulties in sintering, additive…
Fibre hornification was evaluated by a parameter termed 'hard-to-remove (HR) water content', which was defined as the ratio of water mass to fibre mass at the transition between the constant rate zone and the falling rate zone from the isothermal TGA experiments. The results indicated that the HR water content could b…
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have electron affinities similar to those of fullerenes and they are therefore capable of acting as radical traps in free radical chain reactions, including polymerisation and the thermo-oxidative degradation of polymers. It is proposed that the CNTs used as integral part of polymer composites…
An investigation on the ferroelectric and dielectric properties of higher-valent-cations Nb-and Mo-modificated SrBi4Ti4O15 ceramics was presented. The ferroelectric property of SrBi4Ti4O15 was both obviously improved by niobium and molybdenum doping. The remnant polarization (2P r ) of both Nb-and Mo-modificated SrBi4…
We attempted to investigate the surface potential relaxation of ferroelectric thin film domain by using Kelvin probe force microscopy (KFM). To avoid charge suction phenomenon by a grounded tip, the offset voltage was applied to the base line of the pulse trace. It was found that the surface potential contrast decreas…
The subgenus DECUSSATA R.M. Patrick was recently elevated to generic status as Decussata (R.M. Patrick) H. Lange-Bertalot & Metzeltin in Lange-Bertalot (2000. Iconographica Diatomologica, 9, 670–673) to accommodate Navicula placenta Ehrenberg and its allies. The description of Decussata is based on characteristics of…
Ultrafine magnetic nickel ferrite particles have a significant potential for use in many applications such as magnetic recording media, ferrofluids, microwaves, catalysis and radar-absorbing coatings [1, 2]. Nickel ferrite powders with a nominal NiFe2O4 composition were synthesized by combustion reaction and an evalua…
W.H. Hartt discusses “Does Calcareous Scale Formation on Cathodically Protected Steel Affect Hydrogen Uptake?,” by G. Hinds and A. Turnbull, which was published in CORROSION 61, 9 (2005), p. 835-837. A reply from G. Hinds and A. Turnbull follows.
Abstract September 24, 2006 Summary: In this work, we address the industrially relevant problem of the foaming of expandable polystyrene (PS) impregnated by pentane as a traditional down‐stream processing in the suspension polymerization of styrene. Once the polystyrene foam is formed by means of a proper foaming agen…
