By proper choice of materials, dimensions and circuit parameters, it is possible to design a linear displacement transducer, or extensometer, to have zero net thermal drift over any given temperature range. The chief limitation is the inability of wires and insulation to withstand very high temperatures. An extensometer has been designed and tested which could theoretically measure displacement...

The circumrotation of a submolecular fragment in either direction in a synthetic molecular structure is described. The movement of a small ring around a larger one occurs through positional displacements arising from biased Brownian motion that are kinetically captured and then directionally released. The sense of rotation is governed solely by the order in which a series of orthogonal chemical...

We show here that the concepts of nonextensive thermodynamics (NET), described previously (J. Phys. Chem. B, 2004, 108, 18980) and applied to redox behaviour of nanoparticles (J. Phys. Chem. C, 2008, 112, 12116) can be used to express by a power law the variations to the electrochemical kinetics of nanoparticles and in particular to voltammetry. We proposed here a generalization of Plieth’s rel...

japan is a region of active plate tectonics, well known for its japanese trench a geological feature evolving as a result of north pacific (np) oceanic plate pushing and sub-ducting underneath the north american (na) plate. multiple plate tectonics have been continuously recorded in the region since 1979 by the network of gps stations called geonet. the network operating and monitoring more tha...
