Extensive X-ray and neutron scattering experiments and additional transmission electron microscopy results reveal the partial decomposition of Nd2-xCexCuO4 (NCCO) in a low-oxygen-fugacity environment such as that typically realized during the annealing process required to create a superconducting state. Unlike a typic…
In this paper, a recently developed numerical technique [{\em Tuncer E and Guba{ń}ski S M, IEEE Trans Diel El Insul {\bf 8}(3)(2001) 310-320}] is applied to poly(propylene glycol) complex dielectric data to extract more information about the molecular relaxation processes. The method is based on a constrained-least-sq…
$YbInCu_{4}$ and its alloys present discontinuous, first order iso-structural transitions at pressure dependent temperatures $T_V(P)$, where a local moment phase coexist with a renormalized Fermi liquid phase. We show that along the coexistence line $T_V(P)$ the entropy of the large volume renormalized Fermi liquid ph…
We evaluate the optical gap and Stokes shift of several candidate 1 nm silicon nanocrystal structures using density functional and quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) methods. We find that the combination of absorption gap calculations and Stokes shift calculations may be used to determine structures. We find that although abso…
Flower-like ZnO nanostructures, which consisted of sword-like ZnO nanorods, have been prepared by an organic-free hydrothermal process. The XRD pattern indicated that the flower-like ZnO nanostructures were hexagonal. The SAED and HRTEM experiments implied that the sword-like ZnO nanorods were single crystal in nature…
RGB-Farbraum komplettiert: Die elektrochemischen und optischen Eigenschaften des ersten elektrochemisch hergestellten leitfähigen Polymers, das in seiner Neutralform grün ist, werden beschrieben. Seine außerordentlich hohe Stabilität ist ein entscheidender Schritt vorwärts auf dem Gebiet elektrochromer Polymere, da di…
Direct selective gas-phase epoxidation of propene with commercially viable conversion has been achieved with catalysts consisting of gold nanoparticles (3–5 nm) supported on large-pore (>7 nm) silylated mesoporous titanosilicates with Ba(NO3)2 as a promoter. The picture provides a plausible mechanism for the synergeti…
A new approach to fabricate polyelectrolyte microcapsules is based on exploiting porous inorganic microparticles of calcium carbonate. Porous CaCO3 microparticles (4.5-5.0 microns) were synthesized and characterized by scanning electron microscopy and the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller method of nitrogen adsorption/desorption…
Increasing population and a rising necessity for mobility and transportation require a growing environment protection. In the USA and in Europe legislative concluded new emission limits to reduce cold start emissions for passenger cars. A useful method to reduce HC and CO during the cold start of combustion engines is…
<div class="htmlview paragraph">The current paper presents improvements of a previous single-degree-of-freedom lumped parameter model with a nonlinear spring that could be used for preliminary design of headform impact safety countermeasures for normal impact with negligible headform rotation.</div> <di…
<div class="htmlview paragraph">Automotive manufacturers are continually pushing for reduced cost, increased fuel economy, lower emissions and improved performance. Magnesium is the lightest structural metal and has therefore enjoyed a double-digit annual growth in automotive applications since 1990, aimed at re…
<div class="htmlview paragraph">The application of two-component polyurethane (PU) foam materials for acoustical and structural performance enhancements in vehicle structures have increased significantly in the past ten years. The benefits include NVH management (through effective cavity sealing), body stiffness…
<div class="htmlview paragraph">Natural fiber mat (NMT) composites are ecologically and energetically beneficial because of their light-weight at high fibre content. This study demonstrated that the use of loose natural fibre in NMT process could lead to tremendous improvement in the shock absorption properties.…
<div class="htmlview paragraph">A simplified LCA model of a car, where the main body material is a parameter and only the GHG impact is calculated, has been built in order to investigate broad assumptions on material production and recycling. Indeed the benefits from weight reduction can be counterbalanced by th…

This paper presents the analysis of several baffle designs to suppress the fuel slosh by using a commercial Computational Fluid Dynamics software, FLOW-3D<sup>®</sup>, and performing slos…
Abstract A new approach for obtaining elastic polyimide‐silica composites using a silanol sol prepared from water glass and the imide‐containing elastic polymers (IEPs) with polytetramethyleneoxide (PTMO) soft‐segment was investigated. Methods of increasing the degree of compatibility between the silica phase prepared…

For this, fasteners made of aluminum have significant advantages compared to conventional steel fasteners. The reasons are shown to the reader; calculations and established…
Abstract Polyurethane foams with different formulations were synthesized and characterized for use as supporting matrices of granular solid adsorbents. The open cell content, specific gravity, thermal stability, and hydrophobicity were determined and related to the formulation composition. The synthesized foams had op…
