Abstract In this study, we present Cu L 3 M 45 M 45 Auger spectra in coincidence with Cu 2p 3 / 2 from the oxidized surface of Cu (i.e. CuO x /Cu) and Cu 2p 3 / 2 lines in coincidence with Auger 1 G and 3 F terms of Cu L 3 VV from Cu. Comparison of the L 3 VV line structures of CuO x /Cu with that of Cu reveals that t…

Very little data are available regarding the genesis of Inceptisols derived from pyroclastic materials in Taiwan because most of the earlier research focused on Andisols. This study was conducted to explain the formation of Inceptisols derived from the pyroclastic material in northern Taiwan. Three pedons representing…

The first banana-shaped liquid crystal materials with photo-active azo linkages are reported. The higher temperature mesophase X1 (believed to be B6) above the B1 phase exhibited by these azo compounds shows antiferroelectric switching characteristics. The observation of banana phases in azo compounds assumes signific…

Methods for determining the workability of freshly mixed portland-cement concrete with slumps less than 51 mm (2 in.) were investigated. Four potential methods to determine the workability of concrete were proposed for evaluation and development. The methods included two moving-object methods, one free-orifice method,…

A key question arising from studies on the corrosion behavior of molybdenum has been whether the passivation of molybdenum originates from a three-dimensional oxide film or from chemisorbed oxygen. In the present paper an alternative explanation for the apparent passivation behavior of molybdenum is given based on XPS…

The use of a fingerprint texture of a cholesteric liquid crystal is demonstrated as a template to direct the formation of periodically ordered micro-size polymer walls. The morphology-property correlation of polymer-stabilized cholesteric gratings (PSCGs) was established for mesogenic and non-mesogenic reactive monome…

Conventional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods for simulating the flow through automotive exhaust catalysts assume a monolith resistance based on one-dimensional laminar flow. This underpredicts the flow maldistribution in the monolith. Incorporation of an additional pressure loss accounting for entrance effe…
