We have prepared Gd,-IPrXBa,Cu,O,-, phase spread alloy thin films with well-defined variations in the concentration of Pr across a single substrate. Their Pr concentrations were independently determined from electrical resistivity and Auger electron spectroscopy measurements. The results from both methods are in good agreement with each other. Using this technique several high-temperature super...

Electrical resistivity method was used in carrying out geophysical investigations at the Centre for Energy Research and Training (CERT), Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, with a view of determining the depth to the bedrock, thickness of the top soil and weathered basement.Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) using Schlumberger array was carried out at forty (40) VES stations. ABEM terrameter (SAS 3...

The effect of Zn substitution on the DC electrical resistivity, AC electrical conductivity and microstructure of V2O5 doped Zn(1-x)NixFe2O4 with x=0.0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 (5 samples) were prepared by conventional ceramic technique has been investigated. The structural characterization of nickel-zinc ferrites were done by X-ray diffraction technique. Micro-structural and morphological studies we...

We have performed measurements of the Hall effect, electrical resistivity, and magnetization on Tb2Fe17 single crystals in the 5 to 300 K temperature range, and in magnetic fields of up to 5 T. We find that the anomalous Hall effect of this ferromagnet depends strongly on the magnetization direction relative to the crystal axes. The AHE resistivity, measured with an applied magnetic field H per...

An apparatus capable of rapid measurement of the Seebeck coefficient and electrical resistivity at room temperature is reported. The novel aspect of this apparatus is the use of 4 multifunctional probes that comprise a junction of two conductors at the tip and serve as both thermocouples and electrical contacts. In addition, one of the probes has a built-in heater that can establish a temperatu...

Materials and methods The questionnaire used for the practicing medics was the effort-reward-imbalance (ERI) model of Siegrist et al. The questionnaire used for the students survey was the effort-reward-imbalance (ERI) model for school and student settings. The ERI scores on a 5 point Likert scale. In total, N = 716 medical students completed the questionnaire (65.4% female, 34.6% male). 61% of...

The objective of this study was to develop a methodology by which the risk from major accident hazards to the environment can be assessed or quantified. An index method, the Environmental Risk Index (ERI), has been developed based on an existing method, the Environmental Hazard Index (EHI), and the Department of the Environment (DoE) definitions of events that would constitute a major accident ...

A resistive network based anisotropic resistivity reconstruction method is introduced when three sets of internal electrical currents are given. Faraday’s law is discretized using resistive networks for an anisotropic resistivity body such as a muscle or nerve fiber structure of an animal body. The resistivity tensor imaging method of this paper may provide another approach to find the fiber st...
