In this paper, anatase titanium dioxide (TiO2) thin films 60 lm thick are fabricated using the electrospinning technique. The prepared thin films are composed of interconnected anatase TiO2 nanofibers. The transient electro-thermal technique, combined with a temperature–resistance calibration procedure, provides a full spectrum study which examines the relationship between the film’s thermal di...

CaCu3Ru4−xMnxO12 bulks with various substitution amounts x and sintering additive CuO (20 vol.%) were prepared, and the influence of x on the electrical conductivity in a wide temperature range (8–900 K) was investigated. Microstructural observations showed an enhancement of bulk densification upon Mn substitution. Although the resistivity increased with increasing x, the resistivity was as low...

Sterilized soils are commonly used for the study of xenobiotic sorption and as an abiotic control in biodegradation experiments. They are also used for the chemical study of nitrogen and carbon cycle processes and the elimination of the biological factors. In this research the effects of different soil sterilization methods such as autoclaving, fumigating and exposure to ultraviolet and microwa...

abstract soil compaction is a main factor that reduces the cane yield in sugarcane fields, in southwest of iran, especially in ratoon cropping system. therefore, sub-soiling practices could alleviate adverse effects of compaction and increased yield. in according to this aim, a study was to evaluate the effect of  ratooning practice systems consisting of control (no subsoiler), two and four sha...

the fire as one of the ecological factor has positive or negative effects on ecosystems components. therefore, this study was evaluated the effect of fire on some soil physico-chemical properties in winter rangelands of behshahr. so that two burned sites were selected in rangelands and changed rangelands to wheat and barley with two control areas (unburned) in each of them. the soil sampling wa...

As an increasing number of processes are being integrated into Lab-on-a-chip devices, there is an increasing need for flexible and accurate sample manipulation techniques for effective transport and separation. Conductivity differences between running buffer and analyte samples can arise as a product of on-chip processing, or by design. The two situations studied here are sample pumping (where ...
