In this study, electrochemical deposition of Ni-SiC-Gr nano composites was studied. The Watts bath was used for electrodeposition. The SiC and graphite powders were suspended in the electrolyte and stirred. The effects of changes in bath stirring rate on the composite coating were investigated. The X-Ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and field emission scanning electron ...

In this paper it is shown that if μ is an n-dimensional Ahlfors-David regular measure in R which satisfies the so-called weak constant density condition, then μ is uniformly rectifiable. This had already been proved by David and Semmes in the cases n = 1, 2 and d − 1, and it was an open problem for other values of n. The proof of this result relies on the study of the n-uniform measures in R. I...

Bucklew’s high-rate vector quantizer mismatch result is extended from fixed-rate coding to variable-rate coding using a Lagrangian formulation. It is shown that if an asymptotically (high-rate) optimal sequence of variable rate codes is designed for a -dimensional probability density function (pdf) and then applied to another pdf for which is bounded, then the resulting mismatch or loss of perf...

Cotton farmers in Missouri commonly apply a single rate of aldicarb throughout the field at planting to protect their crop from Meloidogyne incognita, even though these nematodes are spatially aggregated. Our purpose was to determine the effect of site-specific application of aldicarb on cotton production in a field infested with these nematodes in 1997 and 1998. Cotton yields were collected fr...

The problem of concentric pervious spheres carrying a fluid source at their centre and rotating slowly with different uniform angular velocities Ω1, Ω2 about a diameter has been studied. The analysis reveals that only azimuthal component of velocity exists, and the couple, rate of dissipated energy is found analytically in the present situation. The expression of couple on inner sphere rotating...

We obtain uniform consistency results for kernel-weighted sample covariances in a nonstationary multiple regression framework that allows for both fixed design and random design coefficient variation. In the fixed design case these nonparametric sample covariances have different uniform convergence rates depending on direction, a result that differs fundamentally from the random design and stat...
