Ab-initio study of the structural and phononic properties sodium hydroxide (Research Article)

In this work the structural phase stability and phononic properties of sodium hydroxide compound have been reported. The calculations have been performed using the pseudo potential method with plane wave based on density functional theory (DFT). Local density approximation (LDA) and generalized gradient approximation (GGA) have been used for modeling the exchange-correlation potential. Negative...

Evaluation of the Urotest AB antibacterial substance detection test.

The Urotest AB was used to detect antimicrobial substances in urine samples. Of 1022 urine specimens evaluated, Urotest AB detected inhibitors in 38.9%. Of 159 urine specimens from patients thought to be taking an antibiotic, inhibitors were detected in 80.5%. This test may help to explain culture negative urine samples from symptomatic patients, and could help elucidate treatment failures and ...

Invited article: Electric solar wind sail: toward test missions.

The electric solar wind sail (E-sail) is a space propulsion concept that uses the natural solar wind dynamic pressure for producing spacecraft thrust. In its baseline form, the E-sail consists of a number of long, thin, conducting, and centrifugally stretched tethers, which are kept in a high positive potential by an onboard electron gun. The concept gains its efficiency from the fact that the ...

Article Type: Original Article

The goals of this paper are to assess feasibility of using total concentration (TPC) of phytoliths in modern soils and morphotypes in soil assemblages to infer paleovegetation cover and composition. We sampled from undisturbed grassland sites with different values of shrub and grass cover in the Columbia Basin, interior Pacific Northwest, USA. Phytolith concentration in soils were measured and ...
