The research aimed at the composition optimization for diamond-SiC-Si composites. effect of a porous diamond workpiece was studied on properties (porosity, density, modulus elasticity, phase composition) product its siliconization with molten silicon. lowest porosity and highest elasticity were observed in case using mixed matrices maximum size grains 250/200 μm siliconization. best results ter...

We present the first internal calculi for Lewis’ conditional logics characterized by uniformity and reflexivity, including non-standard internal hypersequent calculi for a number of extensions of the logic VTU. These calculi allow for syntactic proofs of cut elimination and known connections to S5. We then introduce standard internal hypersequent calculi for all these logics, in which sequents ...

Kuznetsov’s condition says that variables X and Y are independent when any product of bounded functions f X and g Y behaves in a certain way: the interval of expected values f X g Y must be equal to the interval product f X g Y . The main result of this paper shows how to compute lower expectations using Kuznetsov’s condition. We also generalize Kuznetsov’s condition to conditional expectation ...

We formulate and prove an axiomatic characterization of conditional information geometry, for both the normalized and the nonnormalized cases. This characterization extends the axiomatic derivation of the Fisher geometry by Čencov and Campbell to the cone of positive conditional models, and as a special case to the manifold of conditional distributions. Due to the close connection between the c...

The electroreduction reaction of methyl cinnamate on a boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrode was investigated. The hydrodimer, dimethyl 3,4-diphenylhexanedioate (racemate/meso = 74:26), was obtained in 85% yield as the major product, along with small amounts of cyclic methyl 5-oxo-2,3-diphenylcyclopentane-1-carboxylate. Two new neolignan-type products were synthesized from the hydrodimer.

Neumann et al. (Reports, 6 June 2008, p. 1326) recently reported the preparation of multiparticle entanglement among single spins in diamond. However, two of the system's nuclear eigenstates are incorrectly described as product states when they are inherently entangled. Consequently, three of the six states reported, namely the odd-parity Bell states and the W state, were not actually produced.

Evaluation and prediction of performance of diamond wire saw is one of the most important factors involved in planning the dimension stone quarries. The wear rate of diamond wire saw can be investigated as a major criterion to evaluate its performance. The wear rate of diamond wire saw depends upon non-controlled parameters related to rock characteristics and controlled parameters related to ch...
