Summary The behaviour of six concretes at high temperature (600 °C) and in particular the risk of fire spalling is studied. Tests are performed with two sizes of samples: small samples (300 × 300 × 120 mm3) and small slabs (700 × 600 × 150 mm3). Different storage conditions (pre‐drying at 80 °C, air and water storing)…

We study the temperature dependence of the spin Hall magnetoresistance (SMR) in yttrium iron garnet/platinum hybrid structures via magnetization orientation dependent magnetoresistance measurements. Our experiments show a decrease of the SMR magnitude with decreasing temperature. Using the sensitivity of the SMR to th…

Campylobacter jejuni is one of the most frequent causes of bacterial gastrointestinal food-borne infection worldwide. This species is part of the normal flora of the gastrointestinal tracts of animals used for food production, including poultry, which is regarded as the primary source of human Campylobacter infections…

This paper proposes two simple approaches for in situ generation of nickel nanoparticles in the carbon matrix of rice husk char (RHC) via incipient wetness impregnation and pyrolysis. The nickel oxides (i.e., NiO) in the RHC matrix can be preliminarily in situ reduced into metallic nickel (Ni 0 ) by carbothermal reduc…

Although magnesiothermic reduction has attracted immense attention as a facile route for the fabrication of mass‐scale Si nanostructures for high‐capacity lithium‐ion battery applications, its low conversion yield (<50%) and the discovery of a sustainable and low‐cost precursor remain challenging. Here, an unprecedent…

A regioselective synthesis of an azacoronene fused with two peripheral thiophene groups has been realized through a concise synthetic route. The resulting thienoazacoronene (TAC) derivatives show high degree of self-organization in solution, in single crystals, in the bulk, and in spuncast thin films. Spuncast thin fi…

We measured the electro-optic (EO) coefficients (r33) of thin-film devices made from several monolithic, high number density organic EO chromophores with and without additional charge barrier layers. We found that a cross-linkable benzocyclobutene layer was very effective in suppressing unwanted, leakage current, keep…

Designing thermoelectric materials with high figure of merit ZT = S(2)GT/Ktot requires fulfilling three often irreconcilable conditions, that is, the high electrical conductance G, small thermal conductance Ktot, and high Seebeck coefficient S. Nanostructuring is one of the promising ways to achieve this goal as it ca…
