Discharge photoelectrocatalytic system for the degradation of aromatics by Hak-Soo Kim, Eun-Ah Lee, Ju-Hyeon Lee, Chul-Hee Han, Jin-Wook Ha, Yong-Gun Shul

“…Based on the experimental data, the rates of the removal of these compounds in this system are higher compared to either the discharge—only system (without the photocatalyst) or the photocatalyst—only system (without high voltage discharge), and the higher rates of degradation of these compounds in the photoelectrocatalytic system are attributed to the reduced rate of electron-hole recombination in TiO2.…”

Effect of Sisal Fiber Surface Treatment on Properties of Sisal Fiber Reinforced Polylactide Composites by Zhaoqian Li, Xiaodong Zhou, Chonghua Pei

“…The results from mechanical testing revealed that surface-treated sisal fiber reinforced composite offered superior mechanical properties compared to untreated fiber reinforced polylactide composite, which indicated that better adhesion between sisal fiber and PLA matrix was achieved. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) investigations also showed that surface modifications improved the adhesion of the sisal fiber/polylactide matrix.…”

Long-Baseline Neutrino Oscillation Experiments by G. J. Feldman, J. Hartnell, T. Kobayashi

“…With a fixed baseline and detectors providing good energy resolution, precise measurements of the ratio of distance/energy (L/E) on the scale of individual events have been made and the expected oscillatory pattern resolved. Evidence for electron neutrino appearance has recently been obtained, opening a door for determining the CP violating phase as well as resolving the mass hierarchy and the octant of θ23; some of the last unknown parameters of the standard model extended to include neutrino mass.…”

Energetics and phase diagrams of Fe-Cr and Co-Cr systems from first principles by Vreštzál J., Houserová J., Šob M.

“…Our approach is based on the two-sublattice model, similarly as for solid solution phases, but the structural energy differences for end-members in the metastable or unstable structures are obtained by means of first-principles electronic structure calculations. Phase diagrams of Fe-Cr and Co-Cr systems containing the intermetallic sigma-phase (5 inequivalent lattice sites, 30 atoms in repeat cell) are described here as an example of application of our new model.…”
