Thermally and electrochemically driven 18O tracer exchange experiments in H2/H218O atmosphere were performed on SrTi0.7Fe0.3O3 - δ and Ce0.8Gd0.2O2 - δ thin films on single crystalline YSZ substrates. Noble metal current collectors were deposited on both films and electrochemically polarized during the exchange experiment. The resulting tracer distribution was analyzed by spatially resolved sec...

Wide cross-country variation in obesity rates has been reported between European Union member states. Although the existing cross-country differences have not been analyzed in depth, they contain important information on health production determinants. In this paper we apply a methodology for conducting standardized cross-country comparisons of body mass index (BMI). We draw on estimations of t...

In the present study, the effects of arrangement and distribution of multifarious types of defects on fundamental frequency of carbon nanotubes are investigated with respect to different chirality and boundary conditions. Interatomic interactions between each pair of carbon atoms are modeled using two types of non–linear spring–like elements. To obtain more information about the influences of d...

The lifetime of the remnant produced by merger two neutron stars can provide a wealth information on equation state nuclear matter and processes leading to electromagnetic counterpart. Hence, it is essential determine when this shortest, corresponding has mass equal threshold mass, $M_{\rm th}$, prompt collapse black hole. We report results more than 360 simulations merging neutron-star binarie...
