The last twenty five years have seen significant advances in the technology and theoretical models associated with the use of piston gauges for the measurement of both pneumatic and hydraulic pressure. Most notably, the incorporation of computers and

This chapter reviews various methods commonly used for achieving the cryogenic temperatures required of superconducting materials. The problems associated with cryogenic refrigerators (cryocoolers), such as poor reliability, low efficiency, electromagnetic
Recent studies have demonstrated that combustion models can be as sensitive to the binary diffusion coefficients of the fuel species as to the kinetics of major chemical reactions. We have constructed a reversed-flow chromatographic apparatus for the

Radiocarbon analyses of fine particulate matter samples collected during the summer of 2000 in southeast Texas indicate that a substantial fraction of the aerosol carbon at an urban/suburban site (27-73%) and at a rural, forested site (45-78%) was modern
Grazing Incidence X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (GIXPS) is a method that offers promise as a non-destructive technique to measure the thickness and chemistry of ultrathin gate dielectric films. It combines aspects of x-ray reflectivity and conventional

Radiolytic dechlorination of PCBs in transformer oil and in marine sediments has been studied. At low PCB concentrations, complete degradation of the PCBs in transformer oil was achieved without degradation of the oil. Addition of an organic base

A simple ashing procedure is described that converts kaolinite to amorphous metakaolinite while retaining the diffraction intensity of chrysotile. This ashing procedure removes the XRD pattern overlap between kaolinite and chrysotile that can interfere

Although the earth's polar regions are isolated from most industrial activity, combustion-generated particles from both fossil fuel and biomass burning impact the regions. Most efforts aimed at quantifying the input of combustion aerosols at Summit
This book narrates the story of pioneering scientists in the Netherlands, who reached a profound and comprehensive understanding of fluid mixture phase separation within a brief time span around the turn of the 19th century. This achievement was the

We report on an improved method of visualizing domains in congruent ferroelectric crystals such as LiNbO^d3 with Bragg x-ray topography. Using monochromatic synchrotron undulator radiation and a magnifying x-ray camera, we are able to image domains created
Results on electrophoretic capture of circular DNA in porous gels are reviewed. Processes, which cause arrest of circular forms of DNA during electrophoresis, can provide a very efficient separation mechanism for the purification of plasmids and bacterial

Six cyclobutanetetraone poly (arylhydrazones) have been treated with acids and bases, and the structures of the resulting anions and cations studied by UV/visible absorption and NMR spectroscopy. In acid media, all the hydrazones studied formed cations
