Three Phases of Potassium Titanate Fibers Obtained under Hydrothermal Conditions

Development of an Improved Sub-Molten Salt Method for Production of Potassium Titanate from Ilmenite under Industrial Conditions

Structure and Properties of Cotton Fibers Modified with Titanium Sulfate and Urea under Hydrothermal Conditions

Cotton fibers were treated with titanium sulfate, urea and hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide by low temperature hydrothermal method. The surface morphology, chemical structure, thermal stability and optical properties of cotton fibers before and after treatments were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy(TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy ...

Speciation of Molybdates under Hydrothermal Conditions

In situ Raman spectroscopy was applied to investigate the speciation of molybdates under hydrothermal conditions in 0.2 M aqueous solution in the temperature range between 20°C and 200°C and at pH values between 7 and 1. The nature and abundance of molecular and supra-molecular species differs significantly compared to the distribution of species under ambient conditions at the same pH. Whereas...

The robustness of speech representations obtained from simulated auditory nerve fibers under different noise conditions.

Different methods of extracting speech features from an auditory model were systematically investigated in terms of their robustness to different noises. The methods either computed the average firing rate within frequency channels (spectral features) or inter-spike-intervals (timing features) from the simulated auditory nerve response. When used as the front-end for an automatic speech recogni...

Theoretical predictions of novel potassium chloride phases under pressure.

Evolutionary structure searches predict two hitherto unknown phases of KCl that are the most stable in the pressure regime of 200-600 GPa. I41/amd-KCl, which has the lowest enthalpy between ∼200-350 GPa, can be thought of as being composed of two three-connected nets. This structure can be compared with that of the Cs-IV electride (Cs(+)e(-)): the potassium ions assume the positions of the cesi...
