The properties of a pulsed radio frequency capacitive discharge are investigated at atmospheric pressure in argon. The discharge can operate in two different modes: a homogeneous glow discharge or turn into filaments. By pulsing the 13.56 MHz generator both the filamentary and the glow modes can be selected depending on the pulse width and period. For a 5μs pulse width (∼70 RF cycles in the pul...

PURPOSE To evaluate the color of the fundus quantitatively, especially the "sunset glow" fundus, in patients with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease. METHODS The fundus of 39 patients (13 men and 26 women) who were diagnosed with VKH disease were photographed. The photographs were scanned by a film scanner and the amount of red, green, and blue pixels making up the image was determined by ima...

One important motivation for people behaving prosocially is that they want to avoid negative and obtain positive emotions. In the prosocial behavior literature however, the motivations to avoid negative emotions (e.g., guilt) and to approach positive emotions (e.g., warm glow) are rarely separated, and sometimes even aggregated into a single mood-management construct. The aim of this study was ...

An Experimental Investigation of Intrinsic Motivations for Giving This paper presents results from a modified dictator experiment aimed at distinguishing and quantifying the two intrinsic motivations for giving: warm glow and pure altruism. In particular, we implemented a within-subject experimental design with three treatments: (i) one, T1, where the recipient is the experimenters, which measu...

abstract in this work, the dry reforming of methane was studied using a corona and glow discharge plasma microreactors. a chemical kinetic model was developed to understand the reaction better. the modelization allowed prediction of the reactants conversion according to the energy transfer to the gas (p×τ). the β value is trait of the energy cost, whatever this value was leeser indicated better...

In this study, in which the optical and luminescence properties of aventurine, a silicate-based mineral, were examined, crystal structure mineral was examined by XRD analysis, its rheological elements it contained determined SEM-EDX structural FT-IR analysis. order to determine properties, radioluminescence (RL) thermoluminescence (TL) methods used kinetic parameters calculated. measurements ta...

The thermostimulated luminescence (TSL) glow curve characteristics of ten barite crystals of Mangampeta mines (Cuddapah District of Andhra Pradesh, India) were analysed. The natural thermoluminescence (NTL) measurements were carried out for all the samples and show three peaks at 80oC, 120oC and 295C, when recorded with linear heating rate of 10°C/sec. The sample irradiated with a gamma dose o...
