This paper presents a study of the reaction of thin film niobium/selenium multilayers as a function of layer thickness. Diffraction and calorimetry data show a distinct difference in reactions between films with layer thicknesses above and below 60 A. The thicker films are shown to nucleate NbsSe4 heterogeneously at the niobium-selenium interfaces. Thinner films form kinetically stable amorphou...

This article examines Henry Kissinger’s foreign policy discourse during the 1973 Arab-Israeli War through a Critical Discourse Analysis. The central theme of is whether Kissinger had Orientalist conceptions as decision maker in U.S. this event 1973. In order to provide theoretical framework, Analysis and Edward Said’s definition Orientalism are discussed first second parts. last part, utilized ...

In this study Klason lignins from Eucalyptus grandis (LEUG) and Pinus taeda (LPIT) were characterized using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and thermogravimetry (TGA). The degradation kinetic parameters were determined by TGA using the Kissinger method. Thermogravimetric results showed that LPIT had higher thermal stability and also higher activation energy than LEUG. FTIR result...

A method for extracting the parameters describing the process of grain growth from calorimetric data is presented. Both isothermal and scanning experiments are considered. It is demonstrated that the Kissinger method used for determining the activation enthalpy of a nucleation-and-growth process can be used for a grain growth process as well. Characteristic differences between the signals, both...

Multiple types of hydrogen trapping sites in advanced high-strength steels (AHSS) are often experimentally characterized by means thermal desorption spectroscopy (TDS). The evaluation is regularly based on the peak deconvolution procedure combined with Kissinger's theory, which provides distinctive energies at microstructural defects. However, published literature non-conclusive and from time t...

In this research, some physical and chemical properties of the biocomposite obtained from synthesized epoxy modified palm oil (MPO) resin have been characterized. The experimental study plan is made according to Response Surface Methodology (RSM) biocomposites with different MPO rates are obtained. bond structure has evaluated Fourier Transform Infrared Spektrofotometre (FTIR). experimental, RS...

The genus Miloderes Casey, 1888 is reviewed and three new species are described. The genus now has eight valid species: M. amargosensis sp. nov., M. mercuryensis Tanner, M. nelsoni Kissinger, M. panamintensis sp. nov., M. setosus Casey, M. tingi Tanner, M. ubehebensis sp. nov. and M. viridis Pierce. Miloderes allredi Tanner, 1974 is a new junior synonym of M. viridis Pierce, 1910. The relations...

p-Aminomethylbenzenesulphonamide (I) was first described by Miller, Sprague, Kissinger & McBurney (1940), and is used in therapy as its hydrochloride, Ambamide (formerly Marfanil). Its antibacterial properties were studied by Klartr (1941) who found it to be less active than sulphanilamide against streptococci, but more active against anaerobic bacteria (cf. Schoop & Stoltz, 1941 Hamre, Walker,...

Trypanosoma cruzi trypomastigotes, but not epimastigotes, are normally resistant to the lytic effects of complement from vertebrate hosts susceptible to infection. This resistance facilitates parasite survival and infectivity. During the course of chronic infections, however, the vertebrate hosts produce antibodies that render the trypomastigotes sensitive to lysis, primarily via the alternativ...
