Polycarbosilane‐derived SiC fibers (CG Nicalon, Hi‐Nicalon, and Hi‐Nicalon type S) were exposed for 1–100 h at 1273–1673 K in air. Oxide layer growth and changes in tensile strength for these fibers were examined after exposure. The three types of SiC fibers decreased in strength as the oxide layer thickness increased…

The variation of the secondary electron yield (SEY) of sputter-cleaned oxygen-free high-conductivity copper has been studied as a function of air exposure duration at room temperature. After short air exposures of some seconds the maximum SEY (δmax) of clean copper is reduced from 1.3 to less than 1.2, due to the oxid…

A variety of commercially available ceramic‐based oxides, carbides, nitrides, and borides were evaluated for chemical attack in an azeotropic aqueous hydrofluoric acid (HF) test protocol at 90°C. Weight change measurements and microstructure analysis showed that HF corrosion in polycrystalline ceramics generally occur…

SiC‐based fibers with various chemical compositions were synthesized using an irradiation‐curing process. Polycarbosilane (PCS) fibers were cured by irradiation with an electron beam in a helium atmosphere. The cured PCS fibers were pyrolyzed at 1300°C under controlled hydrogen or argon atmospheres, and SiC fibers wit…

This article is the first of a four-part series by the authors that treats various aspects of digital signal processing applied to partial discharge detection. It is shown that manufacturers and users of high-voltage apparatus are interested in on-site, off-line and on-line analysis of partial discharge to identify an…

Intertidal cohesive estuarine sediments frequently support extensive microphytobenthic biofilms, which are usually dominated by epipelic (motile) diatoms. The distribution of different diatom taxa varies along estuarine gradients, but it is not clear what the causative factors are in determining these patterns. In man…

This paper is concerned with the electromechanical coupling factors for bulk waves in KNbO(3) crystal. The dependence of coupling factors on the orientation of vibrators for various types of vibration modes has been calculated. As a result, it has been found that most of these coupling factors are very large at certai…

A soy protein film coating was developed and evaluated to reduce fat transfer in deep-fried foods during frying. Soy protein isolate solutions (10% SPI) with 0.05% gellan gum as plasticizer cooled after being held at 80 °C for 20 min provided suitable films. There was a significant fat reduction (55.12 (±6.03)%db) bet…

A new method is proposed for the fabrication of thin films consisting of closely packed nm-size metallic grains. The method is based on laser ablation of metallic (Cu) target and cascade fission of ejected liquid metallic drops charged in the laser torch plasma. It is suggested that cascade fission is limited by field…

High-resolution core-loss and low-loss spectra of α-quartz were acquired by electron energyloss spectroscopy (EELS) with a transmission electron microscope (TEM). Spectra contain the Si L 1 , L 2,3 , K, and O K core-loss edges, and the surface and bulk low-loss spectra. The core-loss edges represent the atom-projected…

The gene encoding aspartate aminotransferase from the psychrophilic bacterium Pseudoalteromonas haloplanktis TAC 125 was cloned, sequenced and overexpressed in Escherichia coli. The recombinant protein (PhAspAT) was characterized both at the structural and functional level in comparison with the E. coli enzyme (EcAspA…

Seven-coordinated molybdenum oxobisperoxo complexes with chelate nitrogen donors like pyrazolylpyridines are catalysts for the epoxidation of olefins. An NMR spectroscopic and quantumchemical study on the fluxionality of the chelate ligand proves that during this process partial ligand dissociation takes place. This g…

Dynamic properties such as shear modulus, loss modulus, and loss factor were obtained at a low strain amplitude over a wide range of frequencies and temperatures on vulcanizates filled with carbon black, silica, and carbon–silica dual-phase filler. The data were shifted along the frequency scale. Instead of a single s…

ABSTRACT: Water‐based whey protein isolate (WPI) coatings had the same gloss as shellac and zein coatings cast from ethanol solutions and water‐based tapioca dextrin and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) coatings. For lipid dispersion coatings, the particle size of the dispersed phased influenced gloss values. WPI…

Abstract Soil is a living system in which enzymes are present either free in solution or bound to clay and clay‐humus complexes. Enzyme‐clay interactions play a key role in transforming organic compounds in soil environments where the decomposition and synthetic processes are largely catalyzed by enzymes. Scientific e…

The presence of anionic cosolutes often influences anion adsorption on soil mineral surfaces. The possible effect of common solutes, such as CO 3 species, on the adsorption of other anions on metal (hydr)oxides is poorly understood. Accordingly, we determined the effect of CO 3 , formate, acetate, oxalate, and citrate…

The 2 E - 4 A 2 luminescence spectra of Cr 3+ ions in Al 2 O 3 are investigated in the course of transitions between the structural forms γ-δ-θ-α. The spectral lines observed are assigned to Cr 3+ ions in these structural forms, which are identified by an X-ray powder diffraction analysis. The lifetimes of the Cr 3+ e…
