Abstract A general method is proposed for the synthesis of robust, nonlinear controllers for spatially homogeneous particulate processes described by population balances including time‐varying uncertain variables. The controllers are synthesized via Lyapunov's direct method on the basis of finite‐dimensional approxima…

A structural phase transition and the equation of state of the simple-hexagonal (sh) phase, $P\ensuremath{-}V,$ of phosphorus were investigated at pressures up to 280 GPa using monochromatic synchrotron x-ray diffraction. The $P\ensuremath{-}V$ phase, which was stable above 137 GPa, has shown a structural transition t…

Abstract Catalytic performance of Ir catalysts for reduction of nitric oxide with carbon monoxide in the presence of SO2 and excess oxygen was investigated. NO was selectively reduced with CO on Ir/silicalite in an oxidizing atmosphere containing 1% to 10% O2 in the temperature range of 300-500 °C. The catalytic activ…

We have constructed polymer-stabilized nematic liquid crystals by photopolymerizing diacrylate monomers in the nematic phase. The orientation of the liquid crystal was controlled by the polymer network. We studied the Freedericksz transition in these systems. Experimentally we studied the transition by measuring the c…

Grinding lanthanum oxide (La 2 O 3 ) with Al 2 O 3 was conducted to investigate their mechanochemical reactions to form lanthanum aluminate (LaAlO 3 ) powder using a planetary ball mill. Grinding for 120 min allowed us to obtain single‐phase LaAlO 3 with a large surface area when transition alumina was used, whereas n…

We have studied the occurrence of superconductivity under pressure in the ${\mathrm{CaSi}}_{2}$ family of compounds, namely the semimetallic trigonal phase and the $\ensuremath{\alpha}\ensuremath{-}{\mathrm{ThSi}}_{2}$-type tetragonal one. Although only the latter is superconducting ${(T}_{c}=1.56\mathrm{K})$ at ambie…

Synopsis Today’s shampoo formulations are beyond the stage of pure cleansing of the hair. Additional benefits are expected, e.g. conditioning, smoothing of the hair surface, improvement of combability and lather creaminess. Cationic polymers play an important role in providing many of those features. Therefore, within…

Experimental data for the temperature dependence of relaxation times are used to argue that the dynamic scaling form, with relaxation time diverging at the critical temperature T(c) as (T-T(c))(-nuz), is superior to the classical Vogel form. This observation leads us to propose that glass formation can be described by…
