in this study, a manganite sample with a nominal formula of la0.9sr0.1mno3 was prepared by the microwave assisted sol-gel method and annealing at various temperatures. the structural and magnetic properties of the samples were investigated by xrd, fesem and ac susceptometer, respectively. xrd analysis showed that the samples are a nearly single phase. fesem micrographs showed that by increasing...

in order to ensure the safety of parenterals, international pharmacopoeias and national standards have set up stringent guidelines and standards. particulate con- tamination is a potential health risk caused by intravenous injection of particles large enough to potentially clog the small arteries. particles could be produced through manufacturing and packaging or even dispensing of the pharmace...

dissolution pressure and nozzle temperature effects on particle size and distribution were investigated for ress (rapid expansion of supercritical solution) process. supercritical co2 was used as solvent and ibuprofen was applied as the model component in all runs. the resulting ibuprofen nano-particles (about 50 nm in optimized runs) were analyzed by sem and laser diffraction particle size ana...

This thesis presented analysis and results from long-term and short-term aerosol particle measurements of indoor-outdoor total particle number and size distributions in Helsinki. This thesis focused on the temporal–spatial variations of aerosol particle number size distributions, the factors (including local wind, ambient temperature, and traffic density) influencing the particle number size di...

Various soil texture schemes are in current use. These differ in the size ranges of their particle fractions. There is a need to establish simple methods to correlate these conventional schemes. Therefore I have defined closed-form exponential and power law functions to fit models to cumulative particle-size distribution data. I have tested the functions for their suitability (i) to represent c...

Atmospheric particle size distributions were measured on Crete island, Greece in the Eastern Mediterranean during an intensive field campaign between 28 August and 20 October, 2005. Our instrumentation combined a differential mobility particle sizer (DMPS) and an aerodynamic particle sizer (APS) and measured number size distributions in the size range 0.018μm–10μm. Four time periods with distin...

An approach for the direct estimation (DE) of particle parameters in the fine and coarse mode from multiwavelength lidar measurements is presented. Particle size distributions in both modes are approximated by rectangular functions, so the particle density is estimated directly without solving the inverse problem. The numerical simulation demonstrates that the particle volume in both modes can ...

Mobility particle size spectrometers often referred to as DMPS (Differential Mobility Particle Sizers) or SMPS (Scanning Mobility Particle Sizers) have found a wide range of applications in atmospheric aerosol research. However, comparability of measurements conducted world-wide is hampered by lack of generally accepted technical standards and guidelines with respect to the instrumental setup, ...

To achieve sustainable range management and avoid or minimize environmental contamination, the Army needs to know the amount of explosives deposited on ranges from different munitions and how these are degraded and transported under different geological and climatic conditions. The physical form of the deposited explosives has a bearing on this problem, yet the shapes and size distributions of ...
