The method of stimulated echoes was used to investigate the reorientational mechanism in the selectively deuterated glass-former glycerol, C3D5(OH)3 about 15 K above its calorimetric glass temperature. The reorientation process is fully isotropic. This enables an accurate determination of the decay constant, T1Q, of t…
Structure–property relationship studies have been performed in the La-modified lead zirconate titanate (PLZT) solution as a function of quenched La impurity content and Zr/Ti ratio by transmission electron microscopy, lattice imaging, and dielectric spectroscopy. Investigations were performed for 65/35⩽Zr/Ti⩽90/10. Th…
Certain aspects of the methodology of genetic algorithms for global structural optimization of clusters were studied. Through systematic investigations of Lennard-Jones clusters with up to 100 atoms, several modifications were made to the genetic algorithm introduced by Deaven and Ho [ Phys. Rev. Lett. 1995, 75, 288].…
X-ray diffraction data have been collected at both low (120 K) and room temperature from triclinic crystals of hen egg-white lysozyme to 0.925 and 0.950 A resolution, respectively, using synchrotron radiation. Data from one crystal were sufficient for the low-temperature study, whereas three crystals were required at…
The polymerization of D,L-lactide in the presence of zinc metal was investigated for low values of the monomer/catalyst ratio in order to allow end-group characterization of the growing chains by high resolution 360MHz 1H NMR. The results showed that the polymerization was moisture sensitive and that only a fraction o…
In this paper, an accurate method for computing the elecromagnetic field distribution in lamellar gratings is proposed. The method that relies on the rigorous coupled-wave analysis provides accurate numerical results and avoids possible sources of artefacts due to permittivity discontinuities. Its performance is analy…
Mitochondrial creatine kinase (Mi-CK) is a central enzyme in energy metabolism of tissues with high and fluctuating energy requirements. In this review, recent progress in the functional and structural characterization of Mi-CK is summarized with special emphasis on the solved X-ray structure of chicken Mib-CK octamer…
Abstract The effects of dissolved supercritical carbon dioxide on the viscosity and morphological properties were investigated for polyethylene/polystyrene blends in a twin‐screw extruder. The viscosities of the blend/CO 2 solutions were measured using a wedge die mounted on the extruder. A considerable reduction of v…
Barium titanate (BaTiO 3 ) can be doped with La 3+ ions via partial substitution for Ba 2+ ions; charge balance is maintained by the creation of Ti 4+ vacancies. Samples processed in an atmosphere of 1 bar O 2 and a temperature of 1350°C are insulating and free from electronic defects associated with either O 2 loss o…
In the computation of magnetic fields for rotating electric machines, transformers, and reactors, the hysteresis nonlinearity sometimes has to be taken into account. Nowadays, many scalar hysteresis models are known for one-directional fields. The main problem with using these models is that the models are complicated…
Thin, boron‐doped diamond films formed on a silicon substrate were evaluated during water electrolysis in acidic solution in order to determine their potential for industrial use. Though the electrode exhibited overvoltages in excess of 2 V in the industrial current range, ozone gas was produced at a current efficienc…
The functionalization of spider silk fibers promises to produce high-strength fibers with very interesting properties, for example, magnetism. A method is described to prepare hybrid spider silk materials by binding inorganic nanoparticles to the surface or near-surface region of a silk fiber immersed in a colloidal s…
We have developed an optical method for single-shot spatially resolved shock-wave peak-pressure measurements. A schlieren technique and streak photography were used to follow the propagation of the shock wave. The shock position r as a function of time was extracted from the streak images by digital image-processing t…
The effects of remaining monomer on hydrolysis of poly(DL-lactide) were examined by adding different amounts of monomer to purified polymer samples. The existence of monomer in the polymerization products was found to enhance hydrolytic degradation of the polymer. A porous texture was observed on the SEM photographs o…
This paper deals with the application of the ultra high-frequency method (UHF-method) for the detection of partial discharges (PD) in gas-insulated substations (GIS). First, a review of the GIS-relevant part of the theory of electromagnetic wave propagation in the UHF-range (300 MHz-3 GHz) is given. New information co…
Polyhydroxyalkanaote (PHA) is known to be temporarily stored by microorganisms in activated sludge especially in the anaerobic-aerobic processes. When PHA is extracted from activated sludge, it is a thermoplastic with the remarkable characteristics of biodegradability. We investigated the possibility of using activate…
Abstract An experimental feasibility study of using ultrasound to accomplish the dificult desorption of phenol from activated carbon and polymeric resin adsorbents is discussed. The desorption rates of activated carbon were found to significantly increase by ultrasound at 40 kHz and 1.44 MHz. Attrition of the activate…
Protein binding on metallic implant surfaces, such as titanium, is governed by the physico-chemical nature of the metallic surface. Human plasma fibronectin (HPF) is an important matrix glycoprotein that mediates cell and protein attachment to each other or to the extracellular matrix present during wound healing. The…
Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are inherently nonlinear devices exhibiting significant hysteresis in their stress-strain-temperature characteristic. As a consequence most SMA actuator systems presented in the literature employ some form of proportional-integral-derivative (PID) or pulse-width modulated (PWM) control. Howe…
Polarized Raman spectra of undoped and doped ${\mathrm{La}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{M}_{x}{\mathrm{MnO}}_{3}$ single crystals have been studied in the temperature range from 5 to 423 K ($M=\mathrm{Sr},$ Ca). The spectral intensity is mainly related to scattering by optical phonons at $q\ensuremath{\sim}0$ (for $x\ensuremat…
