The application of conductive coatings on ferritic stainless steel can decrease electrical conductivity. Theaim of this research was to investigate the electrical conductivity of cobalt coated AISI 430 ferritic stainlesssteel by pack cementation technique. Coated coupons were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy(SEM). Electrical conductivity of the coated substrates was measured as a fun...

We consider a reconstruction formula for the internal conductivity and uniqueness of conductivity in magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography (MREIT) which aims to reconstruct the conductivity distribution using internal current distribution. We provide a counter-example of uniqueness for a single measurement of current density with Neumann boundary data and show that at least two mea...

evaluation of mechanical and electrical properties of agricultural products plays an important role in equipment design and optimizing post-harvest operations. among the crops, tomato and its products are the major processing industries in the world and its economic importance is increasing. considering the importance of the quality and various post harvesting uses of tomato, the evaluation of ...

We have investigated the effects of electrical conductivity of the constituents on the dielectric and piezoelectric properties of ferroelectric 0-3 composites. The time-dependent internal electric fields are first derived, which can be induced by an applied ac field in dielectric measurement or stress in piezoelectric measurement. Our previously developed model fC. K. Wong, Y. M. Poon, and F. G...

Properties of cement pastes with fine-ground ceramics used as an alternative binder replacing Portland cement up to 20% of its mass are investigated. At first, the particle size distribution of cement and fine-ground ceramics is measured using laser analyser. Then, the material properties are studied in the early hardening period up to 28 days. The hydration process of studied materials is moni...

introduction: there is many ways to assessing the electrical conductivity anisotropy of a tumor. applying the values of tissue electrical conductivity anisotropy is crucial in numerical modeling of the electric and thermal field distribution in electroporation treatments. this study aims to calculate the tissues electrical conductivity anisotropy in patients with sarcoma tumors using diffusion ...

Graphene aerogels (GAs) have attracted extensive interest in diverse fields, owing to their ultrahigh surface area, low density and decent electrical conductivity. However, the undesirable thermal conductivity of GAs may limit their applications in energy storage devices. Here, we report a facile hydrothermal method to modulate both the electrical and thermal properties of GAs by including bulk...

Spatial characterization of the variability of soil physico-chemical properties is a fundamental element of (i) soil quality assessment, (ii) modeling non-point source pollutants in soil, and (iii) sitespecific crop management. Apparent soil electrical conductivity (ECa) is a quick, reliable measurement that is frequently used for the spatio-temporal characterization of edaphic (e.g., salinity,...
