Decomposition of Cr(OH)₃ to form active Cr₂C₃
… by the calcination of a Cr(OH)₃ gel. The decomposition of the gel was investigated by thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray analysis and microscopic examination. Comparison was made between the size of crystallites as determined by X-ray line broadening and the size of aggregated particles as …

Large Scale Simulation of Spinodal Decomposition
Spinodal decomposition is a process in which a system of binary mixture eventually evolves to the separation of two macroscopic phases. Such phase separation occurs in a thermodynamically unstable state. A number of binary mixture experiments have demonstrated the phenomenon of spinodal …

Elucidation of the lipid degradation process in soft tissue and fluid during decomposition, in the presence and absence of insects.
Decomposition has been extensively studied in the presence of insects, however the process in the absence of insects has been considerably less documented. In this study, the decomposition process was compared between domestic pig carcasses in the presence and the partial and complete absence of …

Rice straw fiber polymer composites: thermal and mechanical performance
… to understand and predict the thermal decomposition process of rice straw fibers. A method proposed by Málek, Šesták, and co-workers was used to investigate and model thermal decomposition process of common natural fibers with detailed analysis on rice straw system. Assuming a global …

Stability of heroin metabolites and oxycodone in rat hair and liver during decomposition
… was to investigate the influence of soft tissue decomposition on the stability of drugs incorporated in hair antemortem. Two burial trials were conducted: in the first trial, rats were administered oxycodone over five days; in the second trial, rats were administered heroin over nine days then …

The Interaction of Carbon Monoxide With Nitric Oxide and Hydrogen on Platinum
… Pt(410) is found to be unusually reactive in decomposition of NO even at 120 K, as evidenced by desorption of N(,2)O below 150 K. At low exposures of NO, only the formation of N(,2) is observed. The formation of N(,2)O if found to take place via a precursor mechanism, i.e. reaction between …

Electric utility capacity expansion planning with the option of investing in solar energy
… are established which lead to an efficient decomposition process using a Newton-type search method. For the capacity expansion planning problem, a modification of Benders' Decomposition is applied, which breaks up the problem into a master program containing the solar decision variable, and …

Decomposition of Carbon Dioxide in a Capacitively Coupled Radio Frequency Discharge
<p>Decomposition of CO<sub>2</sub> was studied in a capacitively coupled radio frequency discharge using Martian Simulant Gas mixture that contains 95% CO<sub>2</sub>. The discharge was operated at a gas pressure of 3 to 6 Torr and a discharge power density of less than 2.0 W/cm<sup>3</sup>. The …

Theoretical study of the molecular processes occurring during the growth of Silicon on Si(100) and SixGe1-x/Si(100)
… to elucidate the mechanisms of several surface processes. The focus of this work was on the processes occurring on the surface of pure, strained silicon(100)-2??1 as well as silicon-germanium during the growth of silicon by gas-source molecular beam epitaxy (GSMBE). First-principles calculations …

Necrobiome Succession in Muscle Tissue as a Potential Indicator of Postmortem Interval
<p>Human decomposition is a complex and variable process influenced by innumerable factors such as the weather, innate microbiome, environmental microbes, and a myriad of other factors. The purpose of this study is to illuminate how the aforementioned factors influence necrobiome succession and how …

Exemplo de uma sucessão faunística durante a decomposição em um amontoado de folhiço
… the soil mesofauna developing groups during the decomposition of the litter, systematic sampling were conducted in a previously selected biotope – called by the author “fosso de folhiço” – during 12 consecutive months (June 1977 to July 1978). Throughout 360 days of studies, we identified 19 …

Polymers for KrF 248 nm Nanosecond Laser Micromachining
… that the gaseous product generated during the decomposition process would enhance the laser micromachining result by blowing the debris away. Using this concept, Chapter 7 presents the synthesis and characterisation of two kinds of polyimide with a carbonyl group which could decompose into …

The photolysis and co-irradiated decomposition of barium and strontium azides
… range 30,0° - l35,0°C has been studied. Decompositions in the temperature range 27,0°- 100,0°C for barium azide and 30,0° - 90,0°C for strontium azide have been termed photolytic decompositions, while reactions in the temperature range 110,0° - l35,0°C (the thermal decomposition …

Time Series Learning With Probabilistic Network Composites
… sequences. Systematic methods of task decomposition using attribute- driven methods, especially attribute partitioning, are investigated. This leads to a novel and important type of unsupervised learning in which the feature construction (or extraction) step is modified to account for …

Non-fluorine precursor solutions for high critical current density REBa₂Cu₃O₇₋x̳ films
… total dissolved cations alone. A low temperature decomposition process was developed based on analyses of the chemical reactions that take place in the precursor films as they were heated. This process produced smooth and defect-free intermediate films that were stable under ambient conditions. …
