Subsolidus phase relations have been determined for the Bi-Co-Nb-O system in air (750 C to 925 C). Ternary compound formation was limited to pyrochlore (A2B 2O
This paper compares the hydration characteristics and microstructures of cement pastes with water-to-cement ratios (w/c) of 0.35 and 0.435, cured under
A coefficient of association for two spatial sequences is suggested. Some properties of this characteristic are discussed. By using the Central Limit Theorem

We demonstrate experimentally the equivalence of different manifestations of nonlinear response in high temperature superconductor (HTS) microwave devices
The spectral radiance of the 185-nm and 254-nm lines in two positive column mercury discharge lamps was measured over a wide range of operating conditions. The
This paper discusses various technologies and applications that rely on precise time and frequency, and explores their legal and technical requirements for
