Nickel sulflde powders were precipitated by utilizing the thermal decomposition of thioacetamide in acidic aqueous solutions. Precipitation was induced by a direct reaction between thioacetamide and nickel at 70° and 80°C with thioacetamide concentrations of 0.80 M . Precipitation was induced by reaction of sulfide io…

A new type of nearly homeotropically aligned four-domain liquid crystal display has been developed using nematic liquid crystals with negative dielectric anisotropy. In this display a pixel is divided into four domains which have different and optically compensating molecular alignment properties. This molecular arran…

We have investigated the recently reported discrepancy between theory and a new experiment [Palathingal et al., Phys. Rev. A 51, 2122 (1995)] for single-quantum annihilation of positrons with bound electrons. Fully relativistic calculations of total cross sections for the production and the annihilation of positrons i…

Mussels form byssal threads that can attach tenaciously to wet and irregular surfaces. The byssus consists of a fibrous collagenous core, and at least two types of polyphenolic proteins surround it. One of these proteins, designated Mgfp-1, coats the collagenous core; the other, designated Mgfp-2, is the major compone…

The use of modular neural network (MNN) for the recognition of partial discharge (PD) sources has been investigated. Three phase related quantities, the PD pulse counts, the average and maximum discharge magnitudes form the feature vector of a discharge signal. The MNN consists of 5 sub-networks with identical structu…

Several derivatives of 2,3-dicyanopyrazine were prepared via the condensation of o-quinones with diaminomaleodinitrile. Benzo[f]quinoxaline-2,3-dinitrile was obtained from 1,2-naphthoquinone, and a series of isomeric, di-tert-butyl substituted 5,6-(9,10-phenanthro)-2,3-dicyanopyrazines were prepared from the correspon…

Starting from the Maxwell equations, we solve the problem of the diffraction of a plane wave by a grating of finite conductivity, assuming that the incident wave vector is not orthogonal to the grooves. We make use of the method of fictitious sources, and the diffraction problem is thus reduced to two canonical proble…

The problem of pollutant transfer in food from a polymer packaging made of a recycled film and a functional barrier is studied from a theoretical point of view. In the present case, the process is controlled by Fickian diffusion through the two films of the polymer packaging in perfect contact and by convection into t…

The Effects of non-ideal and nonhomogeneous mixing on barium sulfate precipitation in an MSMPR reactor were observed experimentally and analyzed theoretically. To generate nonhomogeneous mixing the unmixed feed streams were fed to the reactor at the same location (joint feeding mode) or a plug flow reactor was connect…

500-kV XLPE-insulated cable with an insulation thickness of 27 mm has been developed for long-distance transmission lines. Basic studies on 500-kV XLPE cable have shown that contaminants in the insulation may be the factor determining electrical performance. This hypothesis is justified by the good correlation obtaine…
