Laser-induced breakdown spectra (LIBS) were collected on a diverse suite of ∼2,600 geological standards using four laser energies (2.4–7.2 mJ) to assess how variations in irradiance from stand-off distance affect prediction accuracy. Mismatches and plasma temperatures between training datasets introduce substantial uncertainty major element predictions. For example, 2.4 mJ predict 7.2 data resu...

Abstract The inhibition of Nb 3 Sn grain growth in the presence ZrO 2 nanoparticles appears to be one most promising method for pushing critical current densities superconducting wires levels that meet requirements set Future Circular Collider. We have investigated effect formed by internal oxidation Zr on properties and microstructure from Nb-1 wt%Zr, Nb-7.5 wt%Ta, wt%Ta-1 wt%Zr wt%Ta-2 alloys...

We address the issue of single top production in association with a W boson at the Large Hadron Collider, in particular how to obtain an accurate description in the face of the top pair production background given that the two processes interfere with each other. We stress the advantages of an MC@NLO description, and find that for cuts used to isolate the signal, it makes sense to consider Wt a...

Introduction: Six-minute walk test (6MWT) is an easy evaluation method for functional capacity and treatment efficacy. No universally acceptable standard predicting equation for the distance walked in 6MWT (6MWD) exists for Indians. Hence the study was an attempt in understanding significant predictors of 6MWD and influence of obesity indices on it. Material and Methods: Physical activity (PAR)...

This study reports 78 Rietveld quantitative phase analyses using Cu Kα1, Mo Kα1 and synchrotron radiations. Synchrotron powder diffraction has been used to validate the most challenging analyses. From the results for three series with increasing contents of an analyte (an inorganic crystalline phase, an organic crystalline phase and a glass), it is inferred that Rietveld analyses from high-ener...
