Banana plant juice, taken from paradica and maghraby banana pseudostem, as well as black liquor resulting from pulping the banana plant with either 10 or 23 per cent sodium hydroxide (w/w), were identified for their chemical composition. On the other hand the use of these admixtures as anti-corrosive materials was stu…
During a comparative study of second-harmonic generation (SHG) and sum-frequency generation (SFG) in single-crystal and polycrystalline ZnSe, the polycrystalline material showed a dot pattern in the SHG as well as in the SFG output. No such pattern was found in the output from the single-crystal ZnSe sample. The secon…
Abstract The design and construction of a biaxial loading machine is presented in this paper. Two major concerns are addressed in designing the machine: alignment between the loading axes and the specimen, and shear stresses (friction) that may develop between the loading platens and the specimen. The alignment requir…
Plastic deformation of Mo single crystals is examined by direct simulation of dislocation dynamics under stress. Initial dislocation populations are made to mimic real dislocation microstructures observed in transmission electron microscopy cross-sections of pure annealed Mo single crystals. No a priori sources for di…
K2In12Se19 is a new ternary chalcogenide in the system K2Se−In2Se3 (m.p. 997 K; colour: dark red) with the two components in a molar ratio of 1:6. This unusual solid shows a temperature-dependent order-disorder transition originating mainly from a dynamical disorder of In3+ at elevated temperatures. The average struct…
Abstract The thermal degradation of original and aged chloroprene rubber was studied using thermogravimetric analysis. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential thermogravimetric analysis (DTG) techniques were used to detect the mass loss during the temperature elevation. By the analysis of the mass loss curve…
The debris coolability analysis module in the severe accident analysis code ‘SAMPSON’ has been enhanced to predict more mechanistically the safety margin of present reactor pressure vessels in a severe accident. The module calculates debris three-dimensional natural convection with simultaneous spreading, melting and…
Scanning electron microscopes (SEMs) are the most extensively used tools for dimensional metrology and defect inspection for integrated circuit technologies with 180 nm and smaller features. Currently, almost all SEMs are designed to collect as many secondary and backscattered electrons as possible. These signals are…
Lipase from Rhizopus japonicus degraded chitosan resulting in soluble chitosan hydrolysates with molecular weight of about 30–50 kDa as shown by size exclusion chromatography. Optimal temperature for the hydrolysis of chitosan was 40C. The chitosan degradation products were fractionated stepwise according to their mol…
A rapidly quenched nanocrystalline Hf11Ni89 alloy was produced by melt-spinning. The x-ray phase analysis shows that the as-quenched ribbon consists mainly of nanocrystalline fcc HfNi5 although a small amount of Ni(Hf) solid solution is also detected. The crystallite size distribution and the dislocation structure of…
Endothelial "capillary leak", the loss of vascular integrity in response to noxious stimuli, is characterized by extravasation of protein-richfluidfrom capillary lumen into surrounding tissue interstitium. This increase in vascular permeability, in response to inflammatory mediators, correlates with endothelial cell c…
The stability of spontaneous polarization in metal/ferroelectric/insulator/semiconductor and related structures is theoretically studied by considering semiconductivity, i.e., the effect of the finite band-gap width. The theory is based on thermodynamics reported previously by us and is extended in order to also exami…
The structure of a high-pressure boron suboxycarbide B(C,O)0.1555 single crystal has been studied for the first time. The unit-cell parameters are a h = 5.618(1), c h = 12.122(1) Å, V = 331.38(1) Å3, sp. gr. R $$\bar 3$$ m, R hkl = 0.0479. The established common structural features of the interstitial rhombohedral α-b…
We compared a directly crystallized SrBi 2 Ta 2 O 9 (SBT) film with one crystallized by solid-phase reaction from the fluorite phase prepared by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). The region of the Bi/Ta mole ratio showing large remanent polarization (2Pr) was narrow for the film directly crystallized fro…
We investigate experimentally the lateral flow in thin liquid adsorbate films on substrates with variable roughness. We find that, as a consequence of nanoscale roughness, the ability of the films to equilibrate lateral fluctuations depends remarkably weakly on film thickness. Our results suggest that it is a quite ge…
The electroabsorption (Stark) spectrum of the emeraldine base form of polyaniline (EB) in a polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) matrix at room temperature is presented. For the lowest-energy (1.98 eV) band, the absolute value of the change in dipole moment on excitation (|Δμ⃗|) is 6.1 D and the trace of the change in polar…
In this paper the bonding properties, e. g. the charge distribution between the atoms and the deformation of niobium carbide densities have been studied. The crystal studied had the composition NbC0.98. Careful and redundant data collection (74 unique reflections out of 2087 reflections measured) gave the basis for a…
The phase diagram of the system [Ph4P]Br/BiBr3 was investigated with the aid of DSC, TG and temperature dependent X-ray powder diffraction measurements. By varying the reaction conditions, stoichiometry and crystallisation conditions of the reaction between BiBr3 and [Ph4P]Br four polynuclear bromobismuthates are form…
Abstract The influence of zinc stearate (ZnSt) on the thermal and photochemical stabilities of phenolic antioxidant/phosphite combinations has been determined in HDPE by using FTIR analysis. The results show that while under thermal aging the effects are generally antagonistic, under photooxidation the effects are syn…
ABSTRACT The relationships between expansion volume and physical properties of three varieties of popcorn kernels were investigated on a single kernel basis. Physical properties studied were kernel size, kernel sphericity, and kernel density. Methods of measuring densities and popped volumes of individual popcorn kern…
