A well-designed nanostructure CNT@TiO2-C with fine anatase TiO2 particle (< 8 nm), good electronic conducting network (inner CNT core and outer carbon layer), and mesoporous structure was prepared by a simple and green one-pot hydrothermal reaction. The utilization of glucose in the hydrothermal process not only solves the interfacial incompatibility between CNTs and titanate sol and controls t...

The effects of temperature on protein synthesis by Escherichia coli, a mesophile, and Pseudomonas fluorescens, a psychrotroph, were investigated by using whole-cell and cell extract preparations. After shifts to 5°C, protein was synthesized at a slowly decreasing rate for 1 h by both organisms, after which P. fluorescens synthesized protein at a new rate corresponding to its 5°C growth rate, in...

It is significant to understand the effect of the light intensity and temperature on output performance of the crystalline solar modules. Therefore, it is possible to evaluate the J-V curves of solar module under various environmental conditions. This paper discuses the effect of light intensity and temperature on performance parameters of mono-crystalline and poly-crystalline silicon solar mod...

Let G denote a locally compact abelian topological group (an l.c.a. group) with dual group C\ We will denote by A7(G) the Banach algebra of bounded regular Borel measures on G under convolution multiplication and by L(G) the algebra of bounded measures absolutely continuous with respect to Haar measure on G (for discussions of these Banach algebras cf. [1], [2], and [5]). In this paper we shall...

Calcined clay pellets are popular planting material for those who love to grow plants in pots. The calcined consist of (C), phosphate rock (PR), and rice husk ash (RHA). [(1-x)(50C–50PR)-xRHA], x(RHA) = 0, 0.25, 0.30, 0.35, 0.40, 0.45, 0.50, 0.55, 0.60, 0.65 wt% were prepared by a conventional solid-state reaction method. samples made into spherical shape with diameter 10 mm fired at 600℃ 1000℃...

Very low temperatures stress a circuit breaker in a complex manner. Mixed-gas circuit breakers were developed for use at temperatures as low as -50C. These breakers utilize a gas mixture of SF6 and CF4 or SF6 and N2 to prevent condensation of the SF6 gas and have been type tested at -50C to ensure travel characteristics, operating times, and gas tightness are acceptably affected. Today’s mixed-...
