Geo-electrical resistivity techniques have been employed in the High Barind as a reconnaissance investigation for the subsurface lithology. Out of 13 upazillas, comprising the Barind tract, Sapahar and Porsha Upazillas, situated in the High Barind are badly affected by water shortage. Vertical electrical soundings (VES) were executed using Schlumberger configuration in different areas taking th...

GHOSH, D. I’., 1971, The Application of Linear Filter Theory to the Direct Interpretation of Geoelectrical Resistivity Sounding Measurements, Geophysical Prospecting 19,192.217. Koefoed has given practical procedures of obtaining the layer parameters directly from the apparent resistivity sounding measurements by using the raised kernel function H(A) as the intermediate step. However, it is fel...

Using the Ziman-formulation a model is derived which describes the pressure dependence of the electrical resistivity of d-electron amorphous alloys. It is shown how the volume dependence of the scattering-potential, electron-gas-properties and the Grüneisenparameter determine the P-dependence of a constant and a temperature dependent term in the resistivity. The absolute value of the resistivit...

This numerical study examines the importance of self-consistently accounting for transport and electrostatics in the calculaiton of semiconductor/metal Schottky contact resistivity. It is shown that ignoring such self-consistency results in significant under-estimation of the contact resistivity. An explicit numerical method has also been proposed to efficiently improve contact resistivity calc...

An experiment is conducted to determine the effect of uni-axial strain on the superconducting and microscopic properties of bulk Nb3Sn. Methods of calculating the electron DOS are explored in order to investigate whether the strain sensitivity of the superconducting properties is correlated to changes in the electron density of states. Two different methods are developed to calculate the Sommer...

Engineering ceramics have been widely used in modern industry for their excellent physical and mechanical properties, and they are difficult to machine owing to their high hardness and brittleness. Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is the appropriate process for machining engineering ceramics provided they are electrically conducting. However, the electrical resistivity of the popular engine...

During vessel evolution in angiosperms, scalariform perforation plates with many slit-like openings transformed into simple plates with a single circular opening. The transition is hypothesized to have resulted from selection for decreased hydraulic resistance. Previously, additional resistivity of scalariform plates was estimated to be small – generally 10% or less above lumen resistivity – ba...

This paper discusses the electrical impedance tomography (EIT) problem: electric currents are injected into a body with unknown electromagnetic properties through a set of contact electrodes. The corresponding voltages that are needed to maintain these currents are measured. The objective is to estimate the unknown resistivity, or more generally the impedivity distribution of the body based on ...

Relatively few investigations have employed electrical methods in the submarine environment, which may be promising for mineral deposits or threatened by environmental problems. We have measured the electric field using both disk and bar electrodes in the sea water at three different levels: sea surface, seven meters deep, and sea bottom at a depth of ten meters, employing a 2 m spacing dipole-...

INTRODUCTION The application of light and continuous forces for optimum physiological response and the least damage to the tooth supporting structures should be the primary aim of an orthodontist. Nickel-titanium (NiTi) alloys with their desirable properties are one of the natural choices of the clinicians. AIM This study was aimed to compare and rank them based on its tensile strength and el...
