This paper presents a theoretical analysis and experimental verification of electro-optic sensors used to measure DC electric fields in space charge environments. Both unipolar and bipolar charge environments were analyzed. The results suggest that in both cases the sensor output is linearly dependent on the measured…
Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) rods used in Non-Ceramic Insulators (NCI) were examined for microscopic defects in order to evaluate their role in causing brittle fracture. The rods evaluated utilized different types of glass fibers and resin systems. Niemeyer's generalized approach to Partial Discharge (PD) modeling w…
This paper describes the dependence of the charging characteristics on the electric field distribution on the alumina (Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/) surface as affected by the triple junction in vacuum. For HV electrical insulation design of vacuum interrupter, surface flashover in vacuum is very important problem to be solved.…
Thermal decomposition of a series of 1 : 1 mixtures of typical polymer waste materials [polyethylene (PE), poly(propylene) (PP), polystyrene (PS), polyacrylonitrile (PAN), polyisoprene, poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), polyamide-6 (PA-6), polyamide-12 (PA-12), polyamide-6,6 (PA-6,6), and poly(1,4-phenylene terephthal…
A series of “push-pull” molecules, each incorporating a pentafluorophenyl ring as an inductive accepting group, has been synthesised. The NLO properties of these compounds were measured in solution by EFISH (operating at 1907 nm) and in the solid state by the Kurtz powder technique (at 1907 nm). Values of μβ, the prod…
Abstract Microporous flat films with potential as membranes were produced via melt processing and post‐extrusion drawing from immiscible polypropylene/polystyrene blends containing a compatibilizing copolymer. The blends were first compounded in a co‐rotating twin‐screw extruder and subsequently extruded through a she…
Temperature dependence of atomic coordinates is precisely determined for an iron (II) complex, [Fe(ptz) 6 ](BF 4 ) 2 (ptz = propyltetrazole), by means of synchrotron-radiation (SR) x-ray powder diffraction measurements. The spin state of the Fe 2+ ions is known to change from high-spin (HS; S = 2) to low-spin (LS; S =…
The non-heme iron complex, Fe(TPAA = tris-〚 N -(2-pyridylmethyl)-2-aminoethyl〛amine)(ClO 4 ) 2 , is a bad catalyst for the epoxidation of alkenes such as cyclooctene, cyclohexene and cis -stilbene and for the hydroxylation of alkanes such as adamantane by H 2 O 2 , when compared to the iron porphyrin Fe〚TDCPN 5 P = me…
Pathologic neointima formation requires directional smooth muscle cell (SMC) migration from media to intima. The very direction of SMC migration thus becomes a potential therapeutic target. Here, we hypothesize that proliferating SMC after injury can be redirected using engineered chemotactic gradients of elastin degr…
To meet recent requirement of sensors, new optical sensor technology by molecules of functional chemical compounds as nano-scale sensor probes is developing. In this overview, the background and the concept of optical sensor technology are briefly introduced and a new optical sensing system by triplet-triplet absorpti…
The range of validity of the scalar diffraction analysis is quantified for the case of two-dimensionally-periodic diffractive optical elements (crossed gratings). Three canonical classes of two-dimensionally-periodic grating structures are analyzed by using the rigorous coupled-wave analysis as well as the scalar diff…
The domain configuration of 0.95Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3–0.05PbTiO3 single crystals was investigated as a function of the applied electric-field direction with respect to the crystallographic orientation. A normal ferroelectric domain structure, which was not observable in virgin crystals (not exposed to electric field), appe…
Four known compounds have been isolated from the aerial parts of the Brazilian medicinal plant Pariparoba (Pothomorphe umbellata). They were an alkaloid, a flavone, a dihydrocalcone, and a steroid. The chemical structures were established to be N-benzoylmescaline, wogonin, uvangoletin, and beta-sitosterol glucoside us…
Rare-earth-doped (Er−, Yb− and Er+ Yb-doped) silica glasses have been produced and characterized. Their spectroscopic properties have been assessed and optical amplification devices have been produced therefrom and characterized.
Abstract To obtain comprehensive knowledge of the interfacial effect on the impact performance of sisal fiber reinforced epoxy composites, the fiber surface was modified in different ways prior to compounding. By using a surface tensiometer and dynamic mechanical analyzer, interfacial interactions in the composites we…
Formation of nanocrystalline calcia from calcite has been studied in situ via transmission electron microscopy. The crystallographic transformation occurred via two mechanisms: the first is by distortion of the cleaved rhombohedron of calcite, formed by {104} planes in hexagonal coordinates, into a cube. This produced…
Abstract Boron nitride (BN) is an effective processing aid for the extrusion of polyethylenes. It postpones the onset of gross melt fracture to significantly high shear rates not previously attained with conventional fluoropolymers. However, BN particles containing relatively high amounts of boron oxide (B 2 O 3 ) do…
The PCR cloning strategy for type II polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) biosynthesis genes established previously for Pseudomonas was successfully applied to Burkholderia caryophylli strain AS 1.2741. The whole pha locus containing PHA synthase genes phaC1, phaC2 and PHA depolymerase gene phaZ was cloned. The complete open re…
Abstract In most documented occurrences, violarite (FeNi 2 S 4 ) occurs as a product of the supergene alteration of primary pentlandite or millerite. Earlier experimental phase relations studies predicted the possible existence of a stable violarite–pentlandite tie line, though there has been little field evidence sup…
Nitrogen-containing carbon nanotubes are synthesized using a gas-phase reaction. The synthesis of nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes from 100 to 500 Å in diameter is accomplished through pyrolysis of acetonitrile (CH 3 CN) at a temperature of 800°C. Cobalt and nickel metallic particles formed upon thermal decomposition o…
