Epitaxial manganese ferrite thin films were studied by x-ray diffraction anomalous fine structure to obtain element-specific and site-specific information on site occupancy, local structure, and valency. These properties were introduced to molecular field theory to reproduce thermomagnetization curves and determine su…

This paper presents an optimum plan for simple (two stresses) time-step-stress accelerated life tests under the log-logistic model considered appropriate for insulating materials. A log-logistic life distribution with a median that is a log-linear function of stress, and a cumulative exposure model are assumed. The op…

In this work, we present a numerical analysis of the surface electric field of a metallic nanoparticle (either 2D or 3D) interacting with a flat substrate underneath. The influence of the distance to the substrate, particle size, the surrounding media and the substrate optical properties is analyzed as a function of t…

We study the rheological properties of colloidal microphases in two dimensions simulating a model of colloidal particles with competing interactions. Due to the competition between short-range attraction and long-range repulsion, as a function of the density the model exhibits a variety of microphases such as clusters…

The frequency dependence of the complex permittivity (ε∗=ε′-jε″) of Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3 0.3-μm-thick film is measured up to 110 GHz by using interdigitated capacitors and coplanar waveguides. It is shown that the temperature dependence (from 77 to 373 K) of microwave losses, measured at 20 GHz, is described by a tan(δ)-(ε′…

The widespread appearance of frogs with deformed bodies has generated much press coverage over the past decade. Frogs with extra limbs or digits, missing limbs or digits, or misaligned appendages raise an alarming question: "Are deformed humans next?" Taking a fresh look at this disturbing environmental problem, this…

Abstract Films composed of poly( l ‐lactide) (PLLA)/organophilic montmorillonite hybrids (PLACHs) have been prepared via a melt‐compounding process, which is followed by uniaxial drawing at 90°C in air. In addition, an enhancement of the mechanical properties of these drawn PLACH films, which is expected to differ dep…

High-density horizontally aligned single-walled carbon nanotubes are grown on a quartz substrate using Co nanoparticles deposited by arc-discharge plasma method. The Co nanoparticles with a density as high as 6.0×1010cm−2 are formed by a single pulse of arc discharge at room temperature. The density of the aligned nan…

This paper analyses partial discharges obtained by remote radiometric measurements from a power transformer with a known internal defect. Since fingerprints of remote radiometric measurements are not available, the formation of clusters with similar features obtained from captured partial discharge data is crucial. Hi…

We examine how the two different mechanisms proposed historically for biological evolution compare for the determination of crystal structures from random initial lattice configurations. The Darwinian theory of evolution contends that the genetic makeup inherited at birth is the one passed on during mating to new offs…
