Slow multiply charged ions are efficiently guided through nano-capillaries with large aspect ratio in polyethylene terephthalate (PET), due to self-organized charging of the inner capillary walls which prevents close collisions with the surface. In order to gain more insight into this interesting phenomenon we have measured the 2-D scattering distribution of transmitted ions during the charge-u...

In this paper we report on the charging behavior of latex particles in aqueous suspensions. We use static light scattering and acid-base titrations as complementary techniques to observe both effective and bare particle charges. Acid-base titrations’at various ionic strengths provide the pH dependent charging curves. The surface chemical parameters (dissociation constant of the acidic carboxyli...

Abstract Plasma variations in the geospace environment driven by solar wind–magnetosphere interactions are one of major causes satellite anomaly. To mitigate effect anomaly, risk space weather disturbances predicted forecasting needs to be known advance. However, anomaly owing is not same for all satellites, because depends only on itself but also design and materials individual satellites. Fro...

the necessity to use pesticides in agriculture, provides environmental pollution at the same time, and significant part of the agri-economy is allocated to this reseon. therefore, it is important issues to use of pesticides, with the highest degree of effectiveness and minimal loss. in this study, electrostatic spraying and its functional factors were evaluated. the applied experimental design ...

Naturally deformed ice contains subgrains with characteristic geometries that have recently been identified in etched surfaces using high-resolution light microscopy (LM). The probable slip systems responsible for these subgrain boundary types can be determined using electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD), providing the etch features imaged with reflected LM can be retained during EBSD data ...

This paper presents the day-ahead energy planning of passenger cars with 100% electric vehicle (EV) penetration in the Nordic region by 2050. EVs will play an important role in the future energy systems which can both reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the transport sector and provide the demand side flexibility required by smart grids. On the other hand, the EVs will increase the e...
