The adsorption of N(2) on the rutile TiO(2) (110) surface in the limit of low coverage has been studied as a prototype example for the adsorption of non-polar molecules on strongly ionic oxide surfaces. We employed for this study an embedded cluster ansatz in combination with density functional theory and wavefunction…

We report noise-induced threshold shifts on various electrohydrodynamic instabilities (EHIs) in a nematic liquid crystal. There exist three characteristic frequencies ( f 1 , f 2 , and f 3 ) in the ac-driven EHI system. By controlling the cutoff frequency f c of external multiplicative noise, we examine the dependence…

Multiferroic behavior of Bi4 - xNdxFeTi3O12 (0.0 ≤ × ≤ 0.25, × = 0.05) ceramic nanoparticles prepared through the egg-white method was investigated. The dielectric properties of the samples show normal behavior and are explained in the light of space charge polarization. Room temperature polarization-electric field (P…

Fast firing has been used to produce relatively dense ceramics in periods of time shorter than 5 min. High heat inputs during fast firing originates changes in the internal structure of the ceramic compact. The amount of energy available for sintering increases by the formation of a dense outer layer which controls th…

This paper concerns the valorization of two regenerated low-density polyethylene (rLDPE) samples coming from dirty wastes by blending with polystyrene (PS) in the presence of a compatibilizer. The first step consisted in the determination of the physico-chemical properties of LDPE samples (density, melt flow index, wa…

To study the behaviour of shotcrete under dynamic load, a non-destructive laboratory experiment was set up with P-wave propagation along a concrete bar, with properties similar to rock. Cement-based mortar with properties that resemble shotcrete was applied to one end of the bar with a hammer impacting the other. The…

The effects of processing conditions such as pressure, temperature, and holding time on the flexural properties of bagasse and bamboo biodegradable composites were investigated. Each sample of bagasse or bamboo was mixed with a corn-starch-based biodegradable resin and fabricated by a hot press forming method. The cro…

The nature of the reentrant nematic phase has been actively investigated both experimentally and theoretically during the past few decades. Most studies concluded that, as concerning molecular dynamics, a reentrant nematic phase is essentially analogous to a conventional nematic one. Recent computer simulations [Mazza…

Parallel flows in the scrape-off layer (SOL) of a tokamak are analyzed with emphasis on the narrow SOL. It is demonstrated that in addition to the known Pfirsch–Schluter flows there exists a poloidally independent parallel flow in the co-current direction driven by the parallel viscosity. The flow is proportional to t…

Abstract We investigate the effects of a polyelectrolyte chain's configurational fluctuations on the counterion condensation theoretically. Starting with a straight‐line configuration where the polyelectrolyte chain is totally stretched, the configurational fluctuations are developed by relaxing the stretch. The amoun…
