Thin films of MoO3 and mixed Mo/W oxides have been obtained by atmospheric pressure (AP)CVD, using pyrolytic decomposition of metal carbonyls. The correlation between film structure and optical properties is studied by applying techniques such as Raman spectroscopy (RS), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy,…
Com o objetivo de estudar o efeito de diferentes posições do relevo e materiais de origem sobre as características mineralógicas da fração argila dos solos, foram estudadas duas toposseqüências de Latossolos (Latossolo Bruno ácrico LBw e Latossolo Vermelho distroférrico LVdf) no Estado do Paraná. A fração argila foi e…
Knitted structures occupy a special position in composite preforming due to their inimitable characteristics. An insight into the knitted structures with respect to their composite preforming characteristics is presented in this article. Directionality of knitted structures and requirements of high performance fibers…

An improvement of the mechanical properties of powder metallurgically produced NiTi shape memory alloys was attained by reducing the impurity contents of oxygen and carbon. Elongation at fracture was increased to 16.5 % for Hot Isostatically Pressed (HIP), as well as for net‐shape samples produced by Metal Injection M…
The transformation of pentlandite, (Ni,Fe) 9 S 8 , to violarite, (Ni,Fe) 3 S 4 , has been investigated under mild hydrothermal conditions, at constant values of pH (range 3 to 5) controlled by the acetic acid/sodium acetate buffer. At 80 °C, 20(4) wt% of the pentlandite transforms to violarite in 33 days; with the add…
Magnetic Zn1−xCoxO nanorods were fabricated via direct hydrothermal synthesis. The measurements of x-ray diffraction, x-ray photoemission spectroscopy, and optical absorption spectra demonstrate the presence of cobalt in the +2 state in a tetrahedral crystal field, which indicates that Co ions have been doped into the…
Transformers are essential elements, which facilitate the transmission of electric power at high voltages over long distances and transformer energization is a common occurrence. The energization can lead to excessive transient inrush current, especially when the transformer core has remnant flux that adds to the flux…
Abstract Mineralogical and thermal characteristics of synthetic Al-, Cr-, Mn-, Ni- and Ti-bearing goethites, synthesized via alkaline hydrolysis of metal-ferrihydrite gels, were investigated by powder X-ray diffraction and differential thermal analysis. Shifts in unit-cell dimensions were consistent with size of subst…
Abstract The formation of mixed-metal-Al layered double hydroxide (LDH) phases similar to hydrotalcite has been identified as a significant mechanism for immobilization of trace metals in some environmental systems. These precipitate phases become increasingly stable as they age, and their formation may therefore be a…
Abstract The reduction of structural Fe in smectite is mediated either abiotically, by reaction with dithionite, or biotically, by Fe-reducing bacteria. The effects of abiotic reduction on clay-surface chemistry are much better known than the effects of biotic reduction. Since bacteria are probably the principal agent…
This paper develops a modified nucleation theory and examines its application to simulate the bubble nucleating phenomena in polymeric foaming processes. Bubbles typically nucleate homogeneously in the bulk phase of the polymer/gas solution and heterogeneously at the boundaries between the bulk phase and the nucleatin…
Abstract The performance and degradation of Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC) were studied under severe operating conditions. The cells studied were manufactured in a small series by ECN, in the framework of the EU funded CORE‐SOFC project. The cells were of the anode‐supported type with a double layer LSM cathode. They w…
A family of nanoparticles featuring surfaces of varying hydrophobicity was synthesized. The efficiency of DNA-binding was determined, demonstrating in a fivefold modulation in binding a 37-mer DNA strand. Nanoparticle-binding causes a reversible conformational change in the DNA structure, as demonstrated by circular d…
This paper introduces some numerical methods pertaining to the simulation of charge transport in solid dielectrics that can be of interest to the electrical engineering community. These methods are generally scattered over numerical analysis and computing literature making difficult for the non-specialist to select th…
Control of surface properties in microfluidics systems is an indispensable prerequisite for the success of bioanalytical applications. Poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) microfluidic devices are hampered from unwanted adsorption of biomolecules and the lack of methods to control electroosmotic flow(EOF). Among the various…
Variously loaded polypyrrole films, including those containing proteins and polysaccharides, were prepared on gold-coated polycarbonate coverslips. The characteristics of human keratinocytes were studied on these films by microscopy, biochemical assays, and immunocytochemistry. We found keratinocyte viability to be lo…
Rare-earth-ion (La and Nd)-doped BiFeO 3 (BFO) thin films were fabricated by depositing sol–gel solutions on Pt/Ti/SiO 2 /Si(100) structures. It was found from X-ray diffraction analysis that BFO thin films were polycrystalline and 5 at. % La and Nd ion dopings did not cause structural changes in the BFO thin films. B…
We assessed the effects of different arcA mutations on poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) synthesis in recombinant Escherichia coli strains carrying the pha synthesis genes from Azotobacter sp. strain FA8. The arcA mutations used were an internal deletion and the arcA2 allele, a leaky mutation for some of the characteristi…
An equilibrium mathematical model that accurately predicts microclimate pH (mupH) in thin biodegradable polymer films of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) is described. mupH kinetics was shown to be primarily a function of: (i) kinetics of water-soluble acid content and composition in the polymer matrix and (ii) po…
