A new experimental method based on adsorption can indicate whether a material is Mott insulator or common insulator.

Nowadays, as the demand for power rises, so do thefts, particularly direct tapping over main lines. Due to fact that electricity has become a necessity all people, it is necessary control consumption and monitor day-to-day consumption. However, there lack of user-friendly interfaces can provide users with daily live readings acknowledge their monthly Key Words: NodeMCU, ESP-32, CAM

Friction reduction is necessary in order to decrease engine emissions, so bearing friction needs to be reduced but with the constraint that low friction solutions should not affect bearing reliability. To meet this target of low friction and high reliability bearings, several technical solutions are reviewed. Particular attention is paid to evaluating friction reduction performance for each sol...

Sørensen used a slide-wire potentiometer to make his pH measurements. Here a known potential is applied to counterbalance the potential of the hydrogen cell (i.e. the hydrogen electrode plus the counter electrode) and to reduce its current output to zero, at which point the value of the applied counter-potential is equal to that of the cell potential. Since the point of balance is indicated by...

Neurodevelopmental disorders such as spina bifida meningomyelocele (SBM) are often associated with dysrhythmic movement. We studied rhythm discrimination in 21 children with SBM and in 21 age-matched controls, with the research question being whether both groups showed a strong-meter advantage whereby rhythm discrimination is better for rhythms with a strong-meter, in which onsets of longer int...

We show that the solid-solid friction between bulk chiral molecular solids can depend on the relative chirality of the two materials. In menthol and 1-phenyl-1-butanol, heterochiral friction is smaller than homochiral friction, while in ibuprofen, heterochiral friction is larger. Chiral asymmetries in the coefficient of sliding friction vary with temperature and can be as large as 30%. In the t...

The subloading-friction model is capable of describing static friction, the smooth transition from static to kinetic friction and the recovery to static friction after sliding stops or sliding velocity decreases. This causes a negative rate sensitivity (i.e. a decrease in friction resistance with increasing sliding velocity). A generalized subloading-friction model is formulated in this article...
