There are now many nodal superconductors in heavy fermion (HF) systems, charge conjugated organic metals, high Tc cuprates and ruthenates. On the other hand only few of them have well established ∆(k). We present here a study of the angular dependent thermal conductivity in the vortex state of some of the nodal superconductors. We hope it will help to identify the nodal directions in ∆(k) of UP...

A one-dimensional arrangement of single-molecule magnets (SMMs), namely partially oxidized dysprosium(III) phthalocyaninato double-decker complexes, [DyPc2]Ix, was synthesized in the Communication by Keiichi Katoh, Masahiro Yamashita et al. on page 21179 using electro-oxidation and chemical oxidation. The results spectrophotometric analysis [DyPc2]Ix are consistent with Drude model, which theor...

Steady well-type flow was monitored in an aquifer that artificially packed order to reproduce a given, highly heterogeneous, statistical distribution of the log-conductivity Y. In particular, we focus on pumping tests carried out at 10 volumetric rates. The experimental arrangement composed by well and several surrounding observation piezometers. unique feature this study is high heterogeneity ...

High electrical conductivity (EC) in cultivation systems with the recirculating nutrient solutions can affect plant growth and development. This study aimed to investigate effect of salicylic acid (SA) on selected physiological biochemical parameters sweet pepper (Capsicum annum L.) growing aeroponically at standard high concentrations nutritive solutions. Four experimental variants were tested...

Since the introduction of mechanical seals in nuclear boiling water reactor (BWR) feed pumps operating with high drive ratings, keeping mechanical seal reliability high became a challenge. A problem also encountered in fossil feed pump applications using similar electrically low conductive feed water, referred to as Combined Water Treated (CWT) feed water operation. After a short number of oper...

Abstract Mining activities generate much wastes which degenerate into various geochemical components and affect the natural composition of surface water resources. They cause Acid Mine Drainage (AMDs) influence hydrochemical evolution hydrogeological systems. This study employed parameters to characterize evaluate effects mine discharges on irrigation in mining district Enyigba, SE Nigeria. Twe...

Determining osmotic suction from the electrical conductivity (EC) of soil pore water was widely reported in literature. However, while dealing with unsaturated soils, they do not have enough to be extracted for a reliable measurement EC. In this paper, chilled-mirror dew-point hygrometer and contact filter paper method were used determine total matric suctions low-plasticity soils different sal...

Industrial wastewater contains high concentrations of inorganic salts and organic matter. This experiment studied a system for treating containing The setup consists closed-cycle humidification dehumidification filter press. Chemical was used as the treatment solution, performance tested analyzed. effectively reduced chemical oxygen demand (COD), electric conductivity (EC), total nitrogen (TN),...

during the last decade, the expansion of urbanization and industrial activities caused serious environmental problems such as soil pollution. novel technologies are required to remediate soil contamination with toxic contaminants, including heavy metals and organic pollutants. in recent years, there have been increasing attempts to improve soil remediation efficiency. electrokinetic (ek) is an ...
