In this article presents technological process of manufacturing Al-Ti-B rod master alloy by electroslag casting is proposed and investigated. Aluminum chip waste a grade AK7, commercial titanium VT1-00 amorphous boron A were used as starting materials. The consumable electrode product in the form obtained mouthpiece pressing mixture crushed materials mass ratio AK7 : = 97:2:1. According to tech...

The stability of a Ag/AgCl reference electrode equipped with a gelled ionic liquid, 1-methyl-3-octylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)amide (C(8)mimC(1)C(1)N), as a salt bridge, was examined in the potentiometry of pH standard solutions. The variation in the liquid junction potential (LJP) of the ionic liquid (IL)-type reference electrode, measured with respect to a double junction-type ...

Abstract A numerical parametric study on positive diffuse discharges in point-to-plane geometry air at atmospheric pressure is presented. Different discharge characteristics are studied: ignition time, connection time to the grounded cathode plane, shape of and its maximum radius evolution electric field front velocity ionization during propagation. First, a case DC voltage 50 kV applied rod an...

The light responses of rod and cone photoreceptors have been studied electrophysiologically for decades, largely with ex vivo approaches that disrupt the photoreceptors' subretinal microenvironment. Here we report the use of optical coherence tomography (OCT) to measure light-driven signals of rod photoreceptors in vivo. Visible light stimulation over a 200-fold intensity range caused correlate...

PURPOSE Rod-cone gap junctions permit transmittal of rod visual information to the cone pathway. A recent report has shown that this transfer does not occur in mice in which the gap junction protein connexin 36 is knocked out indicating that rod-cone gap junctions are assembled from this protein. It remains unresolved, however, whether rods, cones or both express connexin 36. We have tried to a...

In this study, an FeS2@carbon fiber electrode is developed with FeS2 nanoparticles either embedded in or attached to carbon fibers by using an electrospinning method. By applying this binder-free, metal-current-collector-free FeS2@carbon fiber electrode, both the redox reaction and capacity decay mechanisms for the Li-FeS2 system are revealed by changing the electrolyte (conventional carbonate ...
