No field method or procedure exists to measure the effectiveness of cathodic protection (CP) in a coating disbonded region on buried pipelines; however, gaining this capability can be useful to assist the pipeline industry in better control of the pipeline external corrosion. This paper reports two field procedures to…

The synthesis of highly-ordered ultra-dense heteroepitaxial Si/ZnO hierarchical nanostructures by a simple and cost-effective approach is demonstrated. We also show, based on the same approach, the synthesis of ZnO nanoparticle-decorated Si nanowire cores and Si/ZnO conformal core-shell hetero-nanostructures. The as-s…

We study theoretically the coexistence of the spin-density wave (SDW) and superconductivity in electron-doped iron pnictide superconductors based on the two-orbital model and Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations. The phase diagram is mapped out and the evolution of the Fermi surface as the doping varies is presented. The lo…

Complete amino acid sequences of the four major proteins (Vssilk 1-4) of silk (hornet silk) obtained from yellow hornet ( Vespa simillima , Vespinae, Vespidae) cocoons have been determined. The native structure of the hornet silk (HS), in which Vssilk 1-4 have an alpha-helix domain with coiled-coil alpha-helices and a…

BACKGROUND: Advanced light microscopy offers sensitive and non-invasive means to image neural activity and to control signaling with photolysable molecules and, recently, light-gated channels. These approaches require precise and yet flexible light excitation patterns. For synchronous stimulation of subsets of cells,…

The effects of structure, temperature, and strain rate on mechanical properties of all the SiGe nanotubes in armchair and zigzag structures ( n = 4−13) in two atomic arrangement types are investigated by classical molecular dynamics simulation. During the extending tests, we observe three structural transformations fr…

We report the elaboration of a hybrid mesophase combining the lamellar order of a lyotropic system of nonionic surfactant and the nematic order of a concentrated solution of inorganic nanorods confined between the surfactant layers. Highly aligned samples of this mesophase can be obtained by thermal annealing, and the…

The presence of acetic acid (HAc) has been identified as one factor that may contribute to enhance localized top-of-the-line corrosion attacks in gas condensate pipelines. The role of free HAc on the growth of localized attacks in carbon dioxide (CO2) corrosion of carbon steel pipelines therefore was studied by means…

A method for fabricating multiple free-standing structures on the same sheet of graphene is demonstrated. Mechanically exfoliated mono- and bilayer graphene sheets were sandwiched between two layers of polymethyl-methacrylate. Suspended areas were defined by e-beam exposure allowing precise control over their shape an…

Corrosion inhibitors have been used for many years to protect oil and gas pipelines. The application of small quantities of an inhibitor to production fluids is often one of the most cost-effective methods for imparting corrosion protection in a system. However, even though the practice has become ubiquitous, the indu…
