The thermoelectric power of the amorphous nonmagnetic alloy system Ni81.5B18.5-yPy (y = 0, 1.8, 3.7, 7.4, 13, 16.8 and 18.5 at % P) has been investigated in the temperature range between 77 and 350 K. The resistivity and temperature coefficient of resistivity have also been measured. The high temperature slope of the thermopower, the resistivity and the room temperature coefficient of resistivi...

The unusual temperature dependence of the resistivity and its in-plane anisotropy observed in the Fe-based superconducting materials, particularly Ba(Fe_{1-x}Co_{x})_{2}As_{2}, has been a long-standing puzzle. Here, we consider the effect of impurity scattering on the temperature dependence of the average resistivity within a simple two-band model of a dirty spin density wave metal. The sharp d...

An acoustic method is proposed for measuring the flow resistivity and the thickness of air-saturated porous materials. The conventional methods [14, 16, 17] for the measurement of the flow resistivity (or the viscous permeability) require the prior knowledge of the porosity. The method presented in this work is based on a temporal model of the direct problem in which a simplified expression (in...

In the United States, nursing programs are commonly evaluated by their graduates success on the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN c ©). The purpose of this paper is to describe a change in NCLEX-RN c © success rates following the addition of standardized exams throughout our program’s curriculum, and to compare these exam scores between graduates who pass NC...

two dimensional single frequency scalar vlf data modeling has been studied in this research. vlf method is one of the electromagnetic investigation methods. radio frequency waves are used for investigation of conductive deposits (paal, 1968). synthetic modeling and inversion of single frequency and multiple frequencies of vlf signals was done by oskooi (2004) for two dimensional simple structur...

Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) is increasingly used to investigate moisture distribution in Municipal Waste Landfills, especially when leachate is injected in waste to enhance its biodegradation. It is proposed here to theoretically assess the quality of ERT mapping, using COMSOL Multiphysics' simulations of both hydrodynamical and geophysical aspects. Leachate injection is simulated u...

Oblique-angle deposition of indium tin oxide (ITO) is used to fabricate optical thin-film coatings with a porous, columnar nanostructure. Indium tin oxide is a material that is widely used in industrial applications because it is both optically transparent and electrically conductive. The ITO coatings are fabricated, using electron-beam evaporation, with a range of deposition angles between 0 d...

BACKGROUND We sought to compare uterine cervical electrical impedance spectroscopy measurements employing two probes of different sizes, and to employ a finite element model to predict and compare the fraction of electrical current derived from subepithelial stromal tissue. METHODS Cervical impedance was measured in 12 subjects during early pregnancy using 2 different sizes of the probes on e...

We report a detailed characterization of quantum Hall effect (QHE) influence on the linear and non-linear resistivity tensor in FISDW phases of the organic conductor (TMTSF)2PF6. We show that the behavior at low electric fields, observed for nominally pure single-crystals with different values of the resistivity ratio, is fully consistent with a theoretical model, which takes QHE nature of FISD...

[1] We present the first use at a mid-ocean ridge of a recently developed broadband marine magnetotelluric (MT) instrument. The extended high frequency performance of the instrument allows resolution of electrical resistivity structure at shallower depths than traditional marine MT sensors. Our two-dimensional inversion model from data collected at four MT sites on the East Pacific Rise (EPR) a...
