In this paper, the effect of MgO, BaO, Na 2 O and SrO addition to a pre-melted CaO-Al2O3 -Si 2 O synthetic slag on sulfur removal from plain carbon steel was studied under the same experimental conditions. The slags were pre-melted at 1400°C in an electric resistant furnace and desulfurization experiments were carried out in a high frequency induction furnace. The results showed that ...

Filaments 1 and 2 were coated with BaO 50%0, SrO 25%, CaO 25%, Filaments 3 and 4 with BaO 50%0, SrO 50%, and Filaments 5 and 6 with CaO alone. It appears that for Wehnelt cathodes the values 0 and bR/e show a good correspondence. This is a strong point in favor of the view that the emission of electrons from Wehnelt cathodes is due to a similar mechanism to that causing the emission from heated...

A series of samples containing 5-wt% or 20-wt% BaO on γ-Al2O3 with different loadings of Pt were prepared and examined for their NO2 adsorption properties using temperature programmed desorption (TPD), temperature programmed reduction (TPR), and x-ray diffraction (XRD). For calcination at 873 K or above, BaO/Al2O3 formed BaAl2O4. While carbonates were found to be unstable on the aluminate phase...

The purpose of our study was to systematically evaluate gastric acid output in children with long-lasting gastro-esophageal reflux (GER) in order to assess its mechanism and the need for anti-acid treatment. The investigation was carried out in 20 males and 10 females, aged 7.5 +/- 3.8 years, with prolonged (>15 months) clinical manifestations of GER. All underwent routine ambulatory 24-h esoph...

Context. The measurement of the scale of the baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) in the galaxy power spectrum as a function of redshift is a promising method to constrain the equation-of-state parameter of the dark energy w. Aims. To measure the scale of the BAO precisely, a substantial volume of space must be surveyed. We test whether light-cone effects are important and whether the scaling rel...

Social Assistance Receipt and its Importance for Combating Poverty in Urban China Since the second half of the 1990s economic restructuring in urban China has led to widespread joblessness and income insecurity. The rapid expansion of the system of social assistance, Di Bao, can be understood from this perspective. Using a survey covering large parts of urban China in 2002, we investigate facto...
