Kinetic models have been demonstrated to be useful in on-line batch monitoring systems. The ability to monitor a reaction in real time is invaluable to the production process of industrial and pharmaceutical products. However, it is not a commonly used tec ...
This study presents the sensitivity of global ice crystal number concentration, Nc, to the parameterization of heterogeneous ice nuclei (IN). Simulations are carried out with the NASA Global Modeling Initiative chemical and transport model coupl ...
Experimental studies of the novel snowflake divertor concept (D. Ryutov, Phys. Plasmas 14 (2007) 064502) performed in the NSTX and TCV tokamaks are reviewed in this paper. The snowflake divertor enables power sharing between divertor strike points, as well ...
Peace River is one of the few shocked members of the L-chondrites clan that contains both high-pressure polymorphs of olivine, ringwoodite and wadsleyite, in diverse textures and settings in fragments entrained in shock-melt veins. Among these settings are ...
In industry, spectroscopy is used to monitor batch chemical reactions and to maximize production of a material for a minimum cost. However, there are many challenges involved in using spectroscopic methods to characterize reaction systems that undergo crys ...
Choosing the best out of an increasing number of options requires reliable and accurate information. As our time and resources are limited, we commonly use the experience of others in order to take decisions. Reputation mechanisms aggregate in a formal way ...

Hydrogenated microcrystalline silicon (μc-Si:H) layers about 500 nm thick were deposited in the same run on flat and rough substrates (rms = 60 nm) of various chemical nature. This study reveals that the spatial distribution of the microcrystalline/amorpho ...
Ion-microprobe was used to measure Li abundances and isotopic compositions in pyroxenes from three Martian meteorites belonging to the nakhlite family. The profiles performed across augite crystals from Northwest Africa 817 show a large isotopic zoning fro ...
The thermal stability of amorphous ionic solids is usually attributed to kinetic considerations related to mass transport. However, there are a number of amorphous ionic solids, which have recently been described, whose unusual resistance to nucleation and ...
In recent years methods of creating 'hyperpolarized' substances have gained considerable attention in biomedical magnetic resonance and dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) is one of the most promising, especially for imaging applications. Here we present re ...
