Joël De Coninck, François Dunlop, Thierry Huillet Abstract: We consider random walks Xn in Z+, obeying a detailed balance condition, with a weak drift towards the origin when Xn ր ∞. We reconsider the equivalence in law between a random walk bridge and a 1+1 dimensional Solid-On-Solid bridge with a corresponding Hamiltonian. Phase diagrams are discussed in terms of recurrence versus wetting. A ...

gem-dihydroperoxides as nearly stable peroxidic derivatives of aldehydes and ketones are known important intermediates in synthesis of anti-malaria drugs. also, because containing high concentration of peroxidic oxygen, recently, some of these compounds have been used as solid, efficient and powerful oxidants in many oxidation organic reactions. generally, these compounds are synthesized via pe...

Innovative rechargeable batteries that can effectively store renewable energy, such as solar and wind power, urgently need to be developed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. All-solid-state batteries with inorganic solid electrolytes and electrodes are promising power sources for a wide range of applications because of their safet...

Thermal behavior of various solid feldspars are different, namely those of bivalent cations show no change in the distribution of Al and Si atoms, whereas feldspars of univalent cations become more disordered with raising temperature. In the latter case Al atoms migrate from the sites they occupe at low temperatures and interchange positions with the Si atoms. At high temperatures (but stil...

This article proposes two topologies of voltage-mode and current-mode improved Wheatstone bridges. The features of the propose configurations are that: they can control magnitude of output signals via the input bias current; the proposed circuits are low temperature sensitive, the circuit descriptions are very simple. The circuit performances are depicted trough PSPICE simulations, they show go...

The rheological regulation of the “three high” (high temperature, high density and high salinity) water-based drilling fluid is a worldwide problem due to the combined influence of temperature, solid content and salinity. This paper investigates the factors and regulation methods about rheological property of “three high” water based drilling fluid, and the effects of clay, salinity and weighti...

The present study aims at designing a promising Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) to utilize wastewater in order to generate electricity. Two types of salt bridge have been used in MFC (KCl and NaCl). The maximum electricity generation with 1M KCl and NaCl has been 823 and 713 mV, respectively. Varied salt concentrations (0.5M, 1M, 2M, and 3M) of salt bridge in MFC have been analyzed with different fac...

nano-sized batio3 powders with particular nb concentrations were prepared by rotary- hydrothermal (rh) method. hydrothermal method was used at 180 °c for 5 hours with new ti pressure and the teflon vessel was rotated at a speed of 160 rpm during the hydrothermal reaction. new hydrothermal method was used instead of previous solid state reaction for the system batio3±nb2o3 in high temperature to...
