Al95.5Cr2.5Si2(N1-xOx) thin films were prepared using pulsed DC-magnetron sputtering at 650 degrees C by changing the oxygen to nitrogen ratio (O-2/(O-2 + N-2)) in the reactive gas. The obtained films were characterized by various techniques including XRD, ...
We investigate the problem of distributed sensors' failure detection in networks with a small number of defective sensors, whose measurements differ significantly from neighboring sensor measurements. Defective sensors are represented by non-zero values in ...
Multi-element oxynitrides of type Al-Cr-Si-O-N were prepared using r.f. magnetron sputtering from Al80Cr2.5Si17.5 (at.%) target composition and O-2/(O-2+N-2) gas flow ratio between 0 and 100%. Two series of samples varying from pure nitrides to pure oxides ...
Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) can readily report on changes in blood volume and oxygenation. However, it has proved more problematic to measure real-time changes in blood flow and oxygen consumption. Here we report the development of a novel method usi ...
The eddy correlation technique is rapidly becoming an established method for resolving dissolved oxygen fluxes in natural aquatic systems. This direct and noninvasive determination of oxygen fluxes close to the sediment by simultaneously measuring the velo ...
Recently, there is a growing interest in developing so-called "smart" RFID tags for logistic applications. These smart tags incorporate sensing devices to monitor environmental parameters such as humidity and temperature throughout the supply chain. To ful ...
This article describes the microstructure and Charpy impact properties of an Fe-14Cr-2W-0.3-Ti-0.3Y(2)O(3) oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS)-reduced activation ferritic (RAF) steel, manufactured either from elemental powders or from an Fe-14Cr-2W-0.3Ti p ...
Mixed ionic electronic conducting perovskite materials have been receiving considerable attention for the application of oxygen separation membranes. These membranes have potential to be integrated in industrial processes that require pure oxygen and to pr ...
The aim in this project was the optimization of LaFeO3-based perovskite materials for oxygen separation membranes (OSM). The work was carried out by the Laboratory for High Performance Ceramics, Empa in collaboration with the Laboratory for Industrial Ener ...
Benthic fluxes of dissolved oxygen are measured in a shallow reservoir using the eddy correlation technique. Flux variations depict the diurnal production-consumption cycle, with daytime oxygen release following the solar radiation trend. The average night ...
