The high thermal and low electrical conductivities of ZnO ceramics have hindered their thermoelectric applications. doping with group 3 elements can enhance the properties. In this work, Al (2 at%) doped powder was sintered using spark plasma sintering at varying parameters (such as temperature (550–700 ℃), pressure (250–500 MPa) application (Room Temperature (RT) Holding Time (HT))). Maximum r...

Abstract Here, we present a comprehensive study on atomic-scale in-situ biasing/heating scanning transmission electron microscopy ((S)TEM) of Al-amorphous SiO 2 –SiC interface. The investigation includes electrical, chemical, and structural analysis the interface at different temperatures (25–600 °C). results show that ~ 500 °C electrical (three-orders magnitude resistivity drop), chemical (dis...

The transformation of Al3Zr (L12) and Al3(Zr1 xTix) (L12) precipitates to their respective equilibrium D023 structures is investigated in conventionally solidified Al–0.1Zr and Al–0.1Zr–0.1Ti (at.%) alloys aged isothermally at 500 C or aged isochronally in the range 300– 600 C. Titanium additions delay neither coarsening of the metastable L12 precipitates nor their transformation to the D023 st...

Spatial patterns of transcriptional activity in the living genome of Escherichia coli represent one of the more peculiar aspects of the E. coli chromosome biology. Spatial transcriptional correlations can be observed throughout the chromosome, and their formation depends on the state of replication in the cell. The condition of thymine starvation leading to thymineless death (TLD) is at the "cr...

Screening for Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) among bilingual children in Speech and Clinics is challenged by the use of Societal (SL) monolingual norms absence knowledge about children’s performance Home (HL) leading to over diagnosis DLD children. The current study examined how parents’ questionnaire can contribute a more accurate clinical protocol that help mitigate difficulties disent...

The stability of glow peaks in 6LiF:Mg,Ti (TLD-600) exposed to a high-energy Fe-ion beam was examined in comparison to 137Cs gamma-ray irradiation under changing annealing conditions. The peak areas induced by the Fe ions were much smaller than those by gamma-rays. The sizes and positions of peaks 3-5 in Fe-ion irradiated samples were hardly changed after post-annealing at 100 degrees C x 30 mi...

In this study, the tuned liquid damper (TLD) device was optimized by harmony search (HS) and adaptive algorithms (AHS). Using algorithm, seismic excitations were directed at single ten-story structures, TLD parameters to minimize building movement. To improve design parameters, optimization process repeated adapting factors of algorithm. For purpose, both memory consideration ratio (HMCR) fret ...
