Carbon steel wettability characteristics enhancement for improved enamelling using a 1.2 kW high power diode laser [PDF]

, 2000
High-power diode laser (HPDL) surface treatment of a common engineering carbon steel(EN8) was found to effect significant changes to the wettability characteristics of the metal.

Anti‐Slip Material‐Based Strategies and Approaches

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This review highlights the principle mechanisms of slipping at the microscale, linking contact mechanics with a friction behavior model for surface interfaces. Main strategies to develop anti‐slip properties to the surfaces are discussed alongside standardized testing approaches.

Strong Proton‐Phonon Coupling Drives Fast Ion Transport in Perovskites

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Experimental and computational phonon analysis of ABO3‐type proton conductor BaSnO3 shows that substitution on the B‐site with yttrium forms an imaginary phonon mode which is instrumental for the function as proton conductor. This overcompensates the adverse proton trapping effect of the yttrium.

Detection of Glaze Icing Load and Temperature of Composite Insulators Using Fiber Bragg Grating

Italian National Conference on Sensors, 2019
Conventional methods for the online monitoring of icing conditions of composite insulators suffer from difficulties. To solve this issue, a novel method is first proposed to detect glaze icing load via embedding three optical fibers with fiber Bragg ...

International student agency in academic self‐formation: Mobility as agency situated within knowledge structures

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract With growing attention to student agency in academic and policy discourse, international education has become a prominent context for examining how students navigate new cultural, academic, linguistic and social environments. However, much of this discussion attributes student agency to the ‘international’ aspect, while overlooking the ...

Chemical and Vibrational Criteria for Identifying Early Sèvres Factory Porcelain Productions

Ceramics
Thirteen porcelains assigned to Sèvres factory productions and a few references to the other contemporary factories (Chantilly, Limoges, and Venice) have been studied on-site with a portable X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) spectrometer in order to control the ...

Lead Levels in a Potters Population and Its Association With the Use of Different Glazes: Cross-Sectional Evaluation of the Approved Pottery Program

Frontiers in Toxicology, 2022
Lead is one of the most harmful toxic metals to humans. In Mexico, though most potters still use a lead-based glazing process, a new lead-free glaze has been introduced to the production of pottery.

The myth of the metabolic baseline: sleep–wake cycles undermine a foundational assumption in organismal biology

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Basal and standard metabolic rate (BMR and SMR) are cornerstones of physiological ecology and are assumed to be relatively fixed intrinsic properties of organisms that represent the minimum energy required to sustain life. However, this assumption is conceptually flawed. Many core maintenance processes underlying SMR are temporally partitioned
