[1] The strong jet, with a speed between 500 and 600 m/s, is inferred in the equatorial region of Saturn by combining the nadir and limb observations of Composite Infrared Spectrometer (CIRS) aboard the Cassini spacecraft. A similar jet was discovered on Jupiter (F. M. Flasar et al., 2004a). These discoveries raise the possibility that intense jets are common in the equatorial stratospheres of ...

In this study, polypyrrole was deposited on the aluminium in different anions (C N Cr DBS–). The contribution of anions to formation of polypyrrole film was investigated by using cyclic voltammetry (CV) technique. The effect of polypyrrole film on the corrosion of aluminium was searched in 0.1 M HCI solution by using potentiostatic method. For this purpose, polarization curves were obtained, co...

This study investigated the effects of deposition techniques on the microstructural and tribological properties of Ti/TiN/TiCN/TiAlN multilayer coatings onto a Custom 450 steel substrate. The coatings were produced using cathodic arc physical vapor deposition (CAPVD) and plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition (PACVD). The microstructural of the coatings was evaluated using (SEM), and phase f...

The inhibition performances of nafcillin (III), methicillin (II) and penicillin G (I) on the corrosion of copper in HCl was studied and tested by weight loss, Tafel polarization, SEM, UV-vis spectrophotometry, molecular dynamics method and quantum chemical calculations. Polarization curves indicated that the studied inhibitors act as mixed-type inhibitors. The values of inhibition efficiency an...

This work describes the utilization of a Pt UME in the study of the hydrogen evolution reaction in 0.5 M H2SO4. A non-linear fitting procedure was employed in order to analyze polarization curves obtained at several temperatures (25–75 °C). The results revealed that the traditionally accepted model described by a Volmer–Tafel route fails to fit the obtained experimental data. In this sense, a n...

Bioelectricity production from a phytoplankton, Chlorella vulgaris, and a macrophyte, Ulva lactuca was examined in single chamber microbial fuel cells (MFCs). MFCs were fed with the two algae (as powders), obtaining differences in energy recovery, degradation efficiency, and power densities. C. vulgaris producedmore energy generation per substrate mass (2.5 kWh/kg), butU. lactucawas degraded mo...

In this paper we construct a non-trivial element in the higher Griffiths group Grif f 3,2 for the generic abelian fourfold A 4 with polarization of type (1, 2, 2, 2). The key idea is to use that A 4 can be realized as a generalized Prym variety and for this reason contains in a natural way some curves i.e. dimension 1 cycles.

The reflectance of single crystal LaSrGaO 4 has been measured from ≈ 50 to 40000 cm −1 along the a andc axis. The optical properties have been calculated from a Kramers-Kronig analysis of the reflectance for both polarization. The reflectance curves have been fit using a product of Lorentzian oscillators.
