The YSZ-NiO ceramics for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) anode have been investigated. A series of specimens were singly reduced in a hydrogenous atmosphere (Ar-5 vol% H2 mixture) at 600 °C under the pressure of 0.15 MPa or subjected to 'reduction in the mixture-oxidation in air' (redox) cycling at 600 °C. The YSZ-Ni cermets formed in both treatment conditions were then aged in 'water vapor in A...

Microbial transformations of C-labeled substrates (sodium glutamate, Casamino Acids, glucose, and sodium acetate) were measured in undecompressed seawater samples collected from depths of 1,800 to 6,000 m, during 14- to 21-day incubation periods at in situ temperature (3 degrees C). Each substrate was tested at two concentrations (ca. 0.5 and 5.0 mug/ml) and two in situ pressures. The data were...

The influence of an atmospheric model on shower reconstruction is studied. In the fluorescence detection technique, one of the key measurements is the depth of shower maximum in the atmosphere,Xmax. The altitude corresponding toXmax depends considerably on distributions of atmospheric pressure and temperature, used in the shower reconstruction. In this paper, measured atmospheric profiles at di...

Photolysis of water and subsequent escape of hydrogen can give rise to an oxygen atmosphere on Ganymede. Growth of the atmosphere may be limited by escape of fast oxygen atoms formed by photodissociation of 02. Escape of oxygen and hydrogen in an equilibrium configuration should balance net evaporation of water from the satellite's surface and the partial pressure of atmospheric O2 could be as ...

We develop a semiempirical grey radiative model to quantify Titan's surface temperature as a function of pressure and composition of a nitrogen-methane-hydrogen atmosphere, solar flux and atmospheric haze. We then use this model, together with non-ideal gas-liquid equilibrium theory to investigate the behavior of the coupled surface-atmosphere system on Titan. We find that a volatile-rich Titan...

The present review on some metal oxide nanoparticles used for pressure sensor, various metal oxide containing such as (SnO2, ZnO, Al2O3, WO3, Fe2O3, Ga2O3, TiO2 and SiC, ...etc.) responds detection pressure measure in kbar unit through oxygen activity as oxidation or reduction process of an integrated in devices sensor (MEMS, CMOS, MOX and MOXQ1D...etc.) that devices measuring of pressure as st...
