The interfacial microstructure and cofiring migration between Ag /Pd electrode and Pb-based relaxor ferroelectric ceramics were directly investigated via transmission electron microscope and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). Different silver migration abilities of 70Ag /30Pd and 90Ag /10Pd electrodes were confirmed by EDS microanalysis. This difference is generally considered to be re...

The microstructure and micro-composition of ZnO thin films doped with Al, deposited on Si/SiO2 substrates by sol-gel method were investigated by scanning and high resolution transmission electron microscopy and related energy dispersive X-ray analyses (SEM-EDX, STEM-HRTEM/EDX). Thin films of ZnO were prepared by deposition of 1-10 successive layers with 0.5 at.% and 5 at.% Al concentrations. Th...

Results SEM analyses showed that the best fitting model was one allowing risk paths to vary across countries [c2(425) =2105.271,p<.0001,RMSEA,=.022,CFI=.980]. In all countries teasing about weight/shape or eating was associated with body dissatisfaction(directly and via internalization of the thin ideal).There was a strong significant path from body dissatisfaction to ED(standardised path coeff...

Temporary agency workers (TAWs) are an ever-increasing type of employees which establish a double work relationship with both the and client organization. Within this context, concept dual commitment has received considerable attention in last years. The present contribution integrates line research one adopting person-centered approach to study configurations, investigate profiles on large sam...

Researchers are constantly developing processes aiming to improve the properties of metal surfaces, especially related wear resistance components, as in case nitrided layer obtained by die-sinking electrical discharge machining (EDM). Following this line research, work investigated effects sodium octaborate (Na2B8O13.4H2O), mixed into deionized water a dielectric fluid on AISI 4140 steel surfac...

We have calculated powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) line profiles based on the absorption of X-rays in passing through materials. The results showed that the line profile function depends on the absorption coefficient of the sample. The observed aluminum PXRD patterns are in excellent agreement with the calculated line profile functions derived from absorption. This work also demonstrated that b...

BACKGROUND Several studies have investigated the cognitive profile in patients with Anorexia Nervosa (AN) and Bulimia Nervosa (BN); on the contrary few studies have evaluated it in patients with Binge Eating Disorder (BED). The purpose of this study was to compare decision making, central coherence and set-shifting between BED and AN patients. METHODS A battery of neuropsychological tests inc...

Chemical measurement points obtained with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) in scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) were processed by a modified weighted interval rank sort (WIRS) method order to study the solute redistribution during solidification of an additively manufactured 316L stainless steel. Scheil-Gulliver calculations give good first approximation, although exten...

OBJECTIVE While individuals with insomnia consistently complain of cognitive impairment, previous studies on the effect of insomnia on objective measures of cognitive function have obtained ambiguous results. The relationship between daytime sleepiness and cognitive manifestations in insomnia patients is not clear. METHODS Thirty-six primary insomnia patients (PIPs) and 26 good sleep controls...
