Microstrip Antenna Development for Radar Sensor.
Published in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Tank level measurement is an important research area in radar technology. Level measurement using radar technology is a safe solution even under extreme process conditions, such as high pressure, temperature, and vapors. Special antennas are required to meet electromagnetic requirements such as high gain, low sidelobe level, and high bandwidth. Ano...
Use of Pulse Thermography for Characterization of Defects in Polymer Composites
In this project, the possibility of using thermography as a non-destructive testing tool in the manufacturing process of boats and to assess the quality of end-of-life composite structures has been explored. To do so, a literature surview regarding the current applications of thermography and the techniques currently used for quality control in the...
Nanoscale insights into the structure of solution-processed graphene by x-ray scattering
...
Chemical exfoliation is an attractive approach for the synthesis of graphene due to its low cost and simplicity. However, challenges still remain in the characterization of solution-processed graphene, in particular with atomic resolution. Through this work we demonstrate the x-ray pair distribution function as a novel approach to study solution-pr...
High-temperature wear mechanisms of TiNbWN films : Role of nanocrystalline oxides formation
Refractory high/medium entropy nitrides (HENs/MENs) exhibit comprehensive application prospects as protective films on mechanical parts, particularly those subjected to sliding contacts at elevated temperatures. In this study, a new MEN system TiNbWN, forming a single fcc solution, is designed and its wear performance at temperatures ranging from 2...
Structural changes in Ti1-xAlxN coatings during turning: A XANES and EXAFS study of worn tools
Structural changes in Ti1-xAlxN coated tool inserts used for turning in 316L stainless steel were investigated by XANES, EXAFS, EDS, and STEM. For coarse-grained fcc-structured Ti1-xAlxN coatings, with 0 \leq x \leq 0.62, the XANES spectrum changes with Al-content. XANES Ti 1s line-scans across the rake face of the worn samples reveals that TiN-enr...
Sulfidation of Supported Ni, Mo and NiMo Catalysts Studied by In Situ XAFS
Active sites in Mo-based hydrotreating catalysts are produced by sulfidation. To achieve insights that may enable optimization of the catalysts, this process should be studied in situ. Herein we present a comparative XAFS study where the in situ sulfidation of Mo/δ-Al2O3 and Ni/δ-Al2O3 is compared to that of δ-Al2O3 supported NiMo catalysts with di...
Heteroepitaxial Growth of GaN Film on Si substrate by Magnetron Sputtering
In this study, the effect of AlN buffer layer structure and morphology on the GaN films deposited on Si (111) substrate by reactive DC magnetron sputtering have been studied. For structural and morphological characterization X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning electron microscope (SEM) were used. It is found that AlN films without Al pre-depositio...
Climate Impacts of Cultured Meat and Beef Cattle
Published in Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems
Improved greenhouse gas (GHG) emission efficiency of production has been proposed as one of the biggest potential advantages of cultured meat over conventional livestock production systems. Comparisons with beef are typically highlighted, as it is a highly emissions intensive food product. In this study, we present a more rigorous comparison of the...
Antiferromagnet thickness dependence and rotatable spins in exchange biased CoO/Fe films
The emergence of exchange bias and coercivity enhancement has been investigated in epitaxial CoO/Fe films with varied antiferromagnet (AF) thicknesses, even smaller than the critical value where the frozen CoO spins are detectable. Vector magnetometry and first-order reversal curve (FORC) measurements reveal different CoO thickness dependence of th...
