This article reports on the design and performance analysis of a solar thermoelectric power generation plant (STEPG). The system considers both truncated compound parabolic collectors (CPCs) with a flat receiver and conventional flat-plate collectors, thermoelectric (TE) cooling and power generator modules and appropr…
A compression test system was developed for measuring the strength of a single particle with a cross-sectional dimension of less than 1μm. The test system used a small diamond plate that has a flat platen to compress the particle on a diamond substrate. To avoid compressing multiple particles and to avoid direct conta…
High-energy synchrotron-radiation (SR) powder diffraction experiments have been carried out to investigate the relationship between the crystal structure of the paraelectric phase in PbZr 1- x Ti x O 3 (PZT) and phase transition. The Rietveld refinement adopting the split-atom method reveals that the Pb atom in PZT, e…
A detailed 57Fe Mössbauer study of the Mg(0.8)Fe(0.2-y)Co(y)Al2O4 (y = 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2) solid solutions and of the CNT-Fe/Co-MgAl2O4 nanocomposite powders prepared by reduction in H2-CH4 has allowed characterization of the different iron phases involved in the catalytic process of carbon nanotube (CNT) formati…
The Raman spectrum of isotactic polypropylene (iPP) has been found to exhibit vibrational peaks in the region of 750 to 880 cm(-1) that are sensitive to the degree of crystallinity. These features are broadly assigned to various modes of methyl group rocking, rho(CH2), and there have been various attempts to assess cr…
The syntheses of derivatives of isosorbide and cinnamic acid are described. These chiral compounds are photoisomerizable. The Z‐isomers could also be obtained after irradiation of these E‐isomeric cinnamic derivatives. The Z‐isomers were found to have a much lower helical twisting power than the E‐isomers. These compo…
Thin films of diblock copolymers with cylindrical microdomains oriented normal to the film plane are employed as planar optical waveguides in the Kretschmann configuration (see Figure). Their waveguiding properties were investigated by optical waveguide spectroscopy. The dielectric constants and the film thickness of…
The gyromagnetic factors g ∥ , g ⊥ and the hyperfine structure constants A ∥ and A ⊥ of the tetragonal Cu 2+ center in KTaO 3 are theoretically studied in this work. Based on the analyses of the electron paramagnetic resonance results of this center, it is found that the impurity Cu 2+ occupies the octahedral Ta 5+ si…
Propionate is a very abundant carbon source in soil, and many microorganisms are able to use this as the sole carbon source. Nevertheless, propionate not only serves as a carbon source for filamentous fungi but also acts as a preservative when added to glucose containing media. To solve this contradiction between carb…
Hyperbranched polymers (HBPs) formed by a self-condensing vinyl polymerization (SCVP) of copolymerization of AB* monomers slowly added into trifunctional C 3 * cores under various feed rates were investigated by a kinetic model. The dependences of average molecular weight, polydispersity, degree of branching, and numb…
The mass transfer of naphthalene vapor to water droplets in air was studied in the presence of ozone (O3) in the gas phase. A falling droplet reactor with water droplets of diameters 55, 91, and 182 microm was used for the study. O3 reacted with naphthalene at the air-water interface, thereby decreasing the mass trans…
The electronic properties of ${({\mathrm{Li}}_{2}\mathrm{O})}_{x}{({\mathrm{B}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{3})}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}$ ($x=0.0$, 0.25, 0.33, 0.5, 0.75, and 1.0) compounds were studied by periodic quantum-chemical calculations at density functional theory level using localized atomic basis functions. A good agreemen…
Covers advancements in spacecraft and tactical and strategic missile systems, including subsystem design and application, mission design and analysis, materials and structures, developments in space sciences, space processing and manufacturing, space operations, and applications of space technologies to other fields.
The effects of oxygen versus vacuum ambients on colloidal CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) were studied using both continuous and time-resolved photoluminescence (PL) measurements. The PL intensities were found to be an order of magnitude higher in an oxygen atmosphere, which is explained by the passivation of surface defe…
Various cryoprotectants were tested to reconstitute the surfactant-free nanoparticles of poly(DL-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA). When 2.0% (w/v) of sucrose, trehalose and lactose were used, nanoparticles were completely reconstituted into aqueous solution and particle size was not significantly changed. Above 1.0% (w/v)…
A series of asymmetrically substituted dodecafluorinated phthalocyanines has been synthesized via the Kobayashi ring expansion reaction of the corresponding dodecafluorinated boron subphthalocyanine with differently substituted 1,3-diiminoisoindolines. The mild reaction conditions employed during this ring expansion r…
The acoustic emission from collapsing cavitation bubbles generated using ultrasound of 20 kHz and 515 kHz frequencies in water has been measured and correlated with sonoluminescence and hydroxyl radical production to yield further information on the frequency dependence of sonochemical reactions. A reasonable correlat…
BiFeO 3 thin films with various thicknesses were grown on (100) c SrRuO 3 ∥(100)SrTiO 3 substrates at 620°C by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) for the first time. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed cube-on-cube epitaxial growth of phase-pure BiFeO 3 films with (001) orientation irrespective of the film…
With the use of high-resolution transmission electron microscopy the structure and morphology of montmorillonite (MMT), a material of current interest for use in polymer nanocomposites, was characterized. Using both imaging theory and experiment, the procedures needed to generate lattice images from MMT were establish…
We examine the structure and properties of cold drawn Ti-50.1 at % Ni and Ti-50.9 at % Ni shape memory alloy wires. Wires with both compositions possess a strong <111> fiber texture in the wire drawing direction, a grain size on the order of micrometers, and a high dislocation density. The more Ni rich wires contain f…
