Reactivity of Oxide Surfaces and Metal-Oxide Interfaces: Effects of Water Vapor Pressure on Ultrathin Aluminum Oxide Films, and Studies of Platinum Growth Modes on Ultrathin Oxide Films and Their Effects on Adhesion
… research was (1) understanding the effects of water vapor exposure of ultrathin aluminum oxide films under non-ultrahigh vacuum conditions (>10-9 Torr) and (2) characterization of Pt growth modes on ultrathin Ta silicate and silicon dioxide films and the effects of growth modes on adhesion of a …

Cure of aqueous phenol-formaldehyde resin at elevated water vapor pressures
… resin cure as it is affected by the elevated water vapor pressures that occur during hot-pressing of a wood-based composite. Microdielectric spectroscopy (DEA) was used to monitor the cure reaction, and thermomechanical analysis (TMA), swelling tests and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) …

Membrane Drying of Ionic Liquid
… and, as a consequence, ILs have non-measureable vapor pressure. Due to their unique physical properties, RTILs can be used and recycled as environmentally benign solvents without loss due to evaporation. Envisioned applications range from carbon dioxide capture to battery electrolyte replacement …

Evaluation of Moisture Diffusion Theories in Porous Materials
… Law" including ones based on gradients of water-vapor pressure, chemical potential of water, moisture concentration and activated moisture molecules have been proposed for predicting moisture diffusion through porous materials. However, the lack of reliable experimental results, resulting …

The Hornblende-Aegirine Augite Reaction Relationships of the Trunk Lake Granite, Maine
… in the transformation are the addition of water, a slight decrease in sodium and the substitution of some aluminum for silicon. The transformation of aegirine augite to hornblende was caused by an increase in magma water vapor pressure and a decrease in temperature. </p>

Investigation of Refrigerator Heat and Mass Transfer Cabinet Loading During Open Door Conditions
… cabinet. The goal is to know how much water and energy are transported into a refrigerator by these mechanisms. In general, the air inside a refrigerator generally has lower water vapor pressure than the outside surroundings. When the door is opened, water vapor enters the cabinet; this …

Looking for love on a chilly night: The Colorado brown tarantula mating season
… were significantly correlated with a drop in the water vapor pressure gradient, a rarely used biological metric for assessing potential water loss in an organism. Males were also significantly associated with the presence of cacti, and tarantula burrows were significantly clustered within the …

The prediction of the temperature of small clear streams
… energy balance model was used to predict water temperatures in small clear streams which have limited heat transfer due to ground water flow. The model was designed for application to coastal streams in central California to determine reservoir release policies that would improve …

Trend-Surface Analysis of the Trunk Lake Granitic Pluton, Maine
… of the pluton resulting in different trends. Water vapor pressure and cooling temperature govern the trends of oligoclase, perthite, and ablite-in-perthite and magma differentiation and movement govern the trends of quartz and total mafics. </p>

PROTEIN HYDRATION DEPENDENCE OF THE AMIDE HYDROGEN EXCHANGE OF LYSOZYME.
… of one-half the protein surface with monolayer water (Yang and Rupley, 1979). No additional hydrogen exchange was observed for protein powders equilibrated with higher water content. Considered in conjunction with other lysozyme hydration data (Rupley et al, 1983), this observation indicated …

Process-Induced Degradation during the Integration of Pb(Zr/x Ti/1-x)O3 Ferroelectric Capacitors
… formation on the PECVD (plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition) SiO2/Pt/PZT/Pt capacitor was studied by means of annealing in various ambient. The blisters were observed at a temperature of 325°C in an O₂ atmosphere, while in a N2 and an Ar atmosphere blisters were not produced even at 500°C. …

Radiation-induced condensational growth of cloud-sized mist droplets
… growth of larger droplets at the expense of evaporating smaller ones. However, a gap still exists in the literature between model predictions and experimental evidence. In this study, both laboratory experiments and computational modeling were done to investigate the effect of radiative …
