In this paper, we discuss the shielding effects of lossy dielectric materials located in front of a human model. Using the method of moments, we investigated the shielding effects by calculating the "whole average specific absorption rate (SAR)" and the "local SAR" for a three-layered elliptical model of the human bod…

Abstract Common acid corrosion inhibitors frequently require the addition of intensifiers or contact time extenders when used in very strong acids, high temperatures, or for long contact times. Effective metal intensifiers have the severe disadvantage of being exceedingly toxic to aquatic life as well as humans. Coppe…

The commercialization of field emission displays (FEDs) has been delayed despite optimistic promises in the mid 1990’s. Apparently, more time is needed to identify optimum solutions to the complex problems associated with fabrication, assembly, and operation of the displays. One of the reasons for this delay is that a…

Corrosion and passivation behaviors of three brass alloys, including selective leaching of the alloys in acidic, neutral, and basic solutions, were investigated in aqueous solutions of different pH. Open-circuit potential measurements, polarization data, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were used to ob…

Minimal cluster expansion models of B-site cation ordering in ${A(B}_{1/3}^{\ensuremath{'}}{,B}_{2/3}^{\ensuremath{''}}){\mathrm{O}}_{3}$ perovskites are evaluated. It is demonstrated that the linear triplet interaction is both necessary and sufficient to stabilize the $P\overline{3}m1 1:2$ structure ground state that…

The kinetics of thermal and oxidative decomposition of printed circuit boards is investigated under various heating rates (5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 K/min) and oxygen concentrations (5, 10, and 15%) in the nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere by means of thermogravimetric measurements. Results show that there is only one reaction s…

Poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) thermal degradation is the result of a ‘zipper dehydrochlorination’ process that involves allylic chlorides as intermediates and is catalysed by hydrochloric acid. The degradation process can be stopped by PVC stabilisers, which either react with allylic chlorine atoms (primary stabilisers)…

It is worth noting that, with a few exceptions, the efforts to develop dielectric systems, especially for the LTD superconducting cables, are lagging behind the intense efforts to develop more efficient HT superconducting materials, tapes, and conductors. The results presented here and reported in the literature confi…

To understand the dehydration mechanisms of aluminum hydrates, the dehydration sequence of gibbsite (γ‐Al(OH) 3 ) by electron‐beam irradiation has been investigated using transmission electron microscope (TEM). The electron diffraction pattern indicates the formation of chi‐alumina in the initial dehydration stage. Th…

Porous polyimide films were prepared in two steps. The first step was the preparation of poly(urethane-imide) films by a reaction between a phenol-terminated polyurethane prepolymer and poly(amide acid) obtained from pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA) and oxydianiline (ODA) followed by thermal treatment at 200 °C. The se…

The elastic field induced by a straight dislocation in a one-dimensional hexagonal quasicrystal with its line parallel to the quasiperiodic axis is obtained by superposition of the elastic fields of a pure edge part and a pure screw part. By extending the Peach-Koehler force to quasicrystals, the force between two par…

Past research on all-dielectric nonpolarizing beam splitters is reviewed. It is shown that, for a 50-nm spectral region, it is possible to design and manufacture a two-material nonpolarizing plate beam splitter for use at an angle of 45 degrees (with a measured rms reflectance of 0.50 +/- 0.01 for both s- and p-polari…
