ABSTRACT Aqueous solutions of sodium hydroxide were used to debran whole sorghum and millet grains. The alkali solution was effective in dissolving the pericarp, leaving the kernel free of pericarp. Various combinations of concentration of sodium hydroxide (3, 6, and 10%, w/w) and soaking duration (5, 8, and 10 min) w…

Recent research into superplasticity has developed substantially, to the extent that there are now important directions for future investigations, one of which is high strain rate superplasticity (i.e., superplastic behaviour at strain rates over 10-2 s-1) in metallic materials. Superplasticity at extremely high strai…

This paper describes the synthesis and characterization of four bismaleimides containing a phenylbenzoate mesogenic group and differing by the length of the polymethylenic spacers. They were prepared by reacting 4-maleimidobenzoyl chloride with diphenols containing methylene bridges. The cured resins are stable up to…

In this study, integration of an hydrogen barrier into a FeRAM process flow is investigated. It is reported in the literature that ferroelectric properties can be maintained after hydrogen annealing by using IrOx as a top electrode [16][17][18]. Advantage of materials like IrOx is less catalytic activity compared to P…
