In this paper, mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP) is used to test the pore structure of non-dispersible underwater concrete so as study influence pouring and curing environment, age slag powder on characteristics concrete, analyze characteristics, porosity distribution in different hydration stages, reveal relationship between permeability concrete. The results show that pore-size fresh water ...

This paper presents a method for the fabrication of integrated porous silica layers in microfluidic channel networks by microfabrication techniques. Porous silica is obtained by anodization of silicon, followed by full conversion of the porous silicon network into porous silica by means of thermal oxidation. A series of experiments were performed with various channel layouts to determine the cr...

A simple chemical bath deposition is used to coat a complex porous ceramic scaffold with a conformal Ni layer. The resulting composite is used as a solid oxide fuel cell electrode, and its electrochemical response is measured in humidified hydrogen. X-ray tomography is used to determine the microstructural characteristics of the uncoated and Ni-coated porous structure, which include the surface...

Using data from the 1979 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, I identify causal effects of marriage and cohabitation on total family income. My goals are to compare men's and women's changes in financial status upon entering unions and to assess the relative contributions of adjustments in own income, income pooling, and changes in family size. Changes in own income that are due to intrahouse...

The productive fusion pore in membrane fusion is generally thought to be toroidally shaped. Theoretical studies and recent experiments suggest that its formation, in some scenarios, may be preceded by an initial pore formed near the rim of the extended hemifusion diaphragm (HD), a rim-pore. This rim-pore is characterized by a nontoroidal shape that changes with size. To determine this shape as ...

In this work, a simple and effective way to modify the support surface is developed and a nanostructure ceramic support to facilitate deposition of a defect-free overlying micro and meso (nano) porous membrane is obtained. To achieve high performance nanocomposite membranes, average pore size of outer surface of support was reduced by dip-coating in submicron and nano α-alumina slurries. In...

The powder and compact characteristics as well as the sintering behaviour of two Ce02-G&03 compositions prepared by the oxalate coprecipitation method are studied as a function of the powder particle size and the pore-size distribution in the powder compacts. Shrinkage was measured at a constant heating rate and the results are compared with those obtained by isothermal sintering experiments. G...

in this work, sio2 –zro2 mixed oxides was prepared by the polymeric sol–gel route. the characterization of pore structure, which determines the permeation process of membrane, is of great importance. so far, most investigations have focused on such pore structure as specific surface area and pore size distribution, but the surface fractal, the important parameter reflecting the roughness of por...

in ziegler-natta olefin polymerization, the pore architecture of catalysts plays a crucial role in catalyticperformances and polymer properties. while the type of preparation routes (such as chemical reaction andsolution precipitation) greatly affects the catalyst pore architecture as a result of different solidification mechanisms,the modification of the pore architecture within a given route ...

Introduction: Poroscopy is a method of identification in which the characteristics of sweat pores are compared from different aspects. These pore openings are present along the friction ridges found on the distal end of digits, palms and soles in the hands and feet. Materials amd Methods: This study enrolled 100 Iranian males from the Fars family who resided in Khorasan Razavi Province. T...
