High-pressure effects on single crystals of electron-doped Pr2-xCexCuO4
We present high-pressure diamond-anvil cell synchrotron x-ray, resistivity, and ac-susceptibility measurements on the electron-doped cuprate Pr2-xCexCuO4 to much higher pressures than previously reported. At 2.72 GPa between 88 and 98% of the superconducting T phase of the optimally doped Pr1.85Ce0.15CuO4 transforms into the insulating phase T . With application of pressure, the T phase becomes more insulating, so we present here an example of electron

Fifty-four broadband models for computation of solar diffuse irradiation on horizontal surface were tested in Romania (South-Eastern Europe). The input data consist of surface meteorological data, column integrated data, and data derived from satellite measurements. The testing procedure is performed in 21 stages intended to provide information about the sensitivity of the models to various sets of input data. There is no model to be ranked “the

In this paper, we present results of reconstructions using real data from a new planar electrical impedance tomography device developed at the Institut für Physik, Johannes Gutenberg Universität, Mainz, Germany. The prototype consists of a planar sensing head of circular geometry, and it was designed mainly for breast cancer detection. There are 12 large outer electrodes arranged on a ring of radius R = 4.8 cm where the external currents are injected,

Following a recent suggestion of a new rate equation specifically for the batch dissolution of salts in solutions containing a common ion, this paper describes an analytic solution to its integration. The equation has been tested by dissolving 250 lm gypsumrock particles in water (26.7 g l-1) containing various mixtures of sodium and calcium chlorides, all at an ionic strength of 0.060 M. The model fitted the experimental curves very well and showed

In this article, we present two reconstruction methods intended to be used for conductivity imaging with data obtained from a planar electrical impedance tomography device for breast cancer detection. The inverse problem to solve is different from the classical inverse conductivity problem. We reconstruct the electrical conductivity of a two-dimensional domain from boundary measurements of currents and interior measurements of the potential. One

The aim of the present study is to investigate a method to evaluate the tritium activity in hydraulic oil waste generated during the operation of Romanian Cernavoda Nuclear Power Plant. The method is based on a combustion technique using the 307 PerkinElmer (R) Sample Oxidizer model. The hydraulic oil samples must be processed prior to counting to avoid color quenching (the largest source of inaccuracy) because these samples absorb in the region
