We analyzed the characteristics of white porcelain fired at different temperatures (800, 1200, 1350℃) by measuring changes in thermal luminescence(TL) and multi-wavelength (IR, orange, green, blue, UVA) optically stimulated luminescence(OSL) signal. White 800℃ showed high intensity TL signals over a wide temperature range 100 to 400℃, whereas 1200 1350℃ peaks 210℃. Moreover, OSL 800℃, increased...

The devolatilisation step of coal is a vital stage in both air-coal and oxy-coal combustion and there is interest in whether methods of estimating the reaction parameters are similar for both cases. A network pyrolysis model, the FG-DVC (Functional Group-Depolymerisation Vaporisation Cross-linking) code was employed to evaluate the effect of temperature (1273-1773 K) and heating rate (10-10 K/s...

This study has examined the functional importance of nucleus accumbens (NAc)-ventral tegmental area (VTA) interactions. As it is known, this interaction is important in associative reward processes. Under urethane anesthesia, extracellular single unit recordings of the shell sub-region of the nucleus accumbens (NAcSh) neurons were employed to determine the functional contributions of the VTA to...

This study analyzed the last 20 years` data available on power plant coal ashes used in clay brick production. The statistical analysis has been carried out for a total of 302 cases based relevant parameters reported literature. chemical composition clays and ashes, percentage incorporation maximum particle size ash, fired samples, peak firing temperature, corresponding soaking time were select...

Rhythmic motor patterns are thought to arise through the cellular properties and synaptic interactions of neurons in central pattern generator (CPG) circuits. Yet, when examining the CPG underlying the rhythmic escape response of the opisthobranch mollusc, Tritonia diomedea, we found that the cycle period of the fictive swim motor pattern recorded from the isolated nervous system was not altere...
