novel ceramic oxides have been increasingly focused in recent years because of their potentialapplications in environmental purification especially to treat organic contaminants present in water. in thisresearch work, a set of nio-co3o4 nano-ceramic composite materials were prepared by a simple refluxcondensation method using nickel acetate / cobalt acetate as precursor salts, sodium monododecy...

this paper concerns the design and analysis, of a ball type continuously variable transmission, (b-cvt). this b-cvt has a simple kinematic structure, and same as a toroidal cvt, transmits power by friction on the contact points between input and output discs, that are connected to each other by balls. after, a brief introduction of our b-cvt structure, the performance and traction efficiency of...

The high quality thin films of (CdS)0.6 Se0.4 have been synthesized using thermal evaporation technique onto precleaned rotating amorphous glass substrate at room temperature. The films were characterized by X-Ray Diffractometer, Scanning Electron Microscopy, Atomic Force Microscopy and UV-VIS Spectrophotometer. The XRD spectrum illustrates that the films are polycrystalline having hexagonal st...

Traditional spectrophotometry requires placing samples into cuvettes or capillaries. This is often impractical due to the limited sample volumes often used for protein analysis. The Thermo Scientific NanoDrop 2000c Spectrophotometer solves this issue with an innovative sample retention system that holds microvolume samples between two measurement surfaces using the surface tension properties of...

We are developing timeand energy-resolved near-IR/optical/UV photon detectors based on sharp superconducting-normal transition edges in thin films. We report observations of the Crab pulsar made during prototype testing at the McDonald 2.7m telescope with a fiber-coupled transition-edge sensor (TES) system. These data show substantial (δα ∼ 0.3), rapid variations in the spectral index through t...
