In this paper, the principal pollution flashover models are reviewed and then an impedance criterion for arc propagation is proposed. This criterion differentiates the case in which the arc elongates until total flashover occurs from the case in which the arc stops before it reaches the end of the insulator. It is sho…
The conclusions arising from the multiple small angle neutron scattering theory, developed recently by S.V. Maleyev, R.V. Pomortsev and Y.N. Skryabin [Phys. Rev. B 50 7133 (1994)] for the value of Born parameter more than 1, are experimentally confirmed by magnetic scattering from domain structure of pure Fe and Ni, a…
This paper makes a comparison between x-ray absorption (XAS) and resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) in the rare earths. Atomic calculations are given for 2p -> 4f and 2p -> 5d XAS. The latter calculation includes the contraction and expansion of the 5d orbitals resulting from the complete exchange interaction…
By performing constant-pressure variable-cell ab initio molecular dynamics simulations we find a quadrupolar orthorhombic structure, of $Pca2_1$ symmetry, for the broken symmetry phase (phase II) of solid H2 at T=0 and P =110 - 150 GPa. We present results for the equation of state, lattice parameters and vibronic freq…
We present a thermodynamic theory of weakly excited two-dimensional granular systems from the view point of elementary excitations of spinless Fermion systems. We introduce a global temperature T that is associated with the acceleration amplitude Γin a vibrating bed. We show that the configurational statistics of weak…
A simple technique for precisely controlling the interfacial energies and wetting behavior of polymers in contact with solid surfaces is described. End-functionalized statistical random copolymers of styrene and methylmethacrylate were synthesized, with the styrene fraction f varying from 0 to 1, and were end-grafted…
We propose deposition noise to be an important factor in unstable epitaxial growth of thin films. Our analysis yields a geometrical relation H=(RWL)^2 between the typical mound height W, mound size L, and the film thickness H. Simulations of realistic systems show that the parameter R is a characteristic of the growth…
Because of its chemical versatility and demonstrated biocompatibility, poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (pHEMA) has been widely used as a polymer for biomedical applications. Since this hydrophilic material shows a poor interface with cells, blendings with other polymers were done to improve cytocompatibility. In our…
The effects of rheological change by addition of sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) to culture medium in an air-lift-type fermentor on autotrophic production of poly-(D-3-hydroxybutyric acid) [P(3HB)] by two-stage culture of Alcaligenes eutrophus is investigated. Addition of 0.05% CMC increased P(3HB) production rate…
To develop rapidly biodegradable "stealth" nanoparticles, a physicochemical investigation was done on the formation of PEG-coated poly(isobutyl 2-cyanoacrylate) (PIBCA) nanoparticles. In particular, this study focused on the effect of polymerization conditions on particle size and surface properties, such as charge an…
Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of alkanethiols having CH3, PO4H2, COOH, CONH2, OH, and NH2 terminal groups formed on a gold surface via sulfur attachment were soaked in a simulated body fluid (SBF), whose ion concentrations were nearly equal to those of human blood plasma, at 37°C for up to 40 days. The effect of th…
The mechanical properties and structure of a human common carotid artery were studied in order to develop criteria for designing and manufacturing compliant textile vascular grafts. The arterial wall comprised a composite of elastin and collagen fibers with the collagen fibers crimped. This structure led to a unique p…
Rapid and controlled neoarterial regeneration via perianastomotic as well as transmural tissue ingrowth is critical to patency of implanted small-caliber artificial vascular grafts. Microporous polyurethane (PU) grafts (inner diameter, 1.5 mm; wall thickness, 100 microns; length, 20 mm; pore size, 100 microns), fabric…
Ab initio molecular dynamics calculations of deuterium desorbing from Si(100) have been performed in order to monitor the energy redistribution among the various D$_2$ and silicon degrees of freedom during the desorption process. The calculations show that a considerable part of the potential energy at the transition…
We present a molecular dynamics simulation study of the liquid-solid transition in a two dimensional system consisting of particles of two different sizes interacting via a truncated Lennard-Jones potential. We work with equal number of particles of each kind and the dispersity $Δ$ in the sizes of the particles is var…

The local adsorption geometries of the (2x2)-N and the (sqrt(3)x sqrt(3))R30^o -N phases on the Ru(0001) surface are determined by analyzing low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) intensity data. For both phases, nitrogen occupies the threefold hcp site. The nitrogen sinks deeply into the top Ru layer resulting in a N…
Polycrystalline SrBi2Ta2O9 thin films having a layered-perovskite structure were fabricated by a modified metalorganic solution deposition technique using room temperature processed alkoxidecarboxylate precursor solution. It was possible to obtain a complete perovskite phase at an annealing temperature of 650 °C and n…
Abstract Während der vergangenen drei Jahrzehnte haben sich Oberflächenchemie und ‐physik mit ihren vielfältigen Bezügen auch zur Katalyse kräftig entwickelt. Im Zentrum der Studienaktivitäten standen über lange Zeit Metalloberflächen, auf die man die im Laufe der Zeit entwickelten oberflächenanalytischen Methoden in…
Using La0.5Sr0.5CoO3 (LSCO) or Pt film as a bottom electrode layer, epitaxial Bi4Ti3O12 (BTO) thin films were grown on MgO(001) substrates by pulsed laser deposition. A symmetric Pt/BTO/Pt capacitor structure shows a surprisingly large asymmetric polarization switching behavior, but a Pt/BTO/LSCO structure has a nearl…
