Conducting poly(o-toluidine) (POT) and poly(m-toluidine) (PMT) blends containing 10, 30, 50, 70, and 90 % wt/wt of polystyrene (PSt) were prepared by employing a two-step emulsion pathway. The bands characteristic of both polystyrene and POT/PMT are present in the IR spectra of POT–PSt and PMT–PSt blends. The UV-visible spectra of POT–PSt and PMT–PSt blends exhibit two bands around 313 and 610 ...

2 ABSTRACT Current models of speech perception emphasize either fine-grained acoustic properties or coarse-grained abstract characteristics of speech sounds. Here, we provide evidence for the view that vowel categories are grounded in abstract phonological representation and that these representations account for the successful access of the corresponding categories. In an auditory semantic pri...

The longitudinal and transverse beam coupling impedance of the first final TOTEM Roman Pot unit has been measured in the laboratory with the wire method. For the evaluation of transverse impedance the wire position has been kept constant, and the insertions of the RP were moved asymmetrically. With the original configuration of the RP, resonances with fairly high Q values were observed. In orde...

We investigated optimum nitrogen rates and different growth substrates for short-term fi nish production of container and bare root shade tree liners in a pot-in-pot production system in the Intermountain West. In one study, nitrogen ranging from 0–27 g N·tree–1 (0–36 lbs N·1000 ft–2) as urea was applied to quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides), ‘Autumn Blaze’ maple (Acer × freemannii ‘Autumn Bla...

The French fishing industry is becoming increasingly environmentally aware and likely to adopt more sustainable gears. As a result, fishers are showing growing interest in fish pots. This experiment aimed develop pot concept specifically based on target species behavior coastal waters. First, the consultation led with indicated black seabream as main of interest. Then, pot’s characteristics wer...
