Observations on the effect of proximity to rhyolitic intrusions on Kübler index
(Mineralogical Society of Poland, http://www.degruyter.com/view/j/mipo, 2010)
The Upper Ordovician sedimentary succession of southeast Ireland is riddled with almost synsedimentary igneous intrusions. A study was required to determine any effects of these intrusions on Kübler Index (KI) so that ...
Piezoelectric energy harvesting devices: an alternative energy source for wireless sensors
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, http://www.hindawi.com/journals/smr/, 2012)
The recent advances in ultralow power device integration, communication electronics, and microelectromechanical systems
(MEMS) technology have fuelled the emerging technology of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). The spatial ...
Simulation of solar radiation conditions in coastal and continental areas by using a new algorithm
(David Publishing Company, http://www.davidpublishing.com/journals_info.asp?jId=1000, 2011)
An algorithm developed at the University of Botswana is used to study solar radiation conditions in Namibia, South Africa, Mozambique and Botswana. The synoptic stations chosen for the study differ by meteorological ...
Finite element modeling of a piezoelectric composite beam and comparative performance study of piezoelectric materials for voltage generation
(International Scholarly Research Network, http://www.hindawi.com/isrn/materials.science/, 2012)
A comparative study of the traditional PZT ceramics and new single crystals is critical in selecting the best material and
optimization of transducer design for applications such as conversion of ambient vibrations into ...
Structural, optical and fluorescence properties of wet chemically synthesized ZnO:Pd2+ nanocrystals
(SpringerOpen, http://www.inl-journal.com/, 2013)
This paper presents the structural, optical and photoluminescence properties of wet chemically synthesized ZnO:
Pd2+ colloidal nanocrystals characterised by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy/energy-dispersive ...
Optical properties of amorphous Sb2Se3:Sn films
(Taylor & Francis, 2010)
The measurements and analysis of optical transmission and far-infrared
(IR) reflectivity spectra of thermally evaporated Sb2Se3:Sn films are
reported. The refractive index and film thickness have been determined
from ...
Heterogeneous crystallization and composition dependence of optical parameters in Sn–Sb–Bi–Se chalcogenides
(Springer, 2010)
Bulk samples of Sn10Sb20-xBixSe70 (0 B x B 8)
chalcogenide alloys were prepared by the conventional melt quenching technique. Thin films were prepared on wellcleaned
glass substrates by thermal evaporation technique. ...
Optical Characterization of TiO2-bound (CuFeMnO4) Absorber Paint for Solar Thermal Applications
(Science and Education Publishing, http://www.sciepub.com/journal/AJER, 2016)
A composite thin film consisting of TiO2 (binder), uniformly mixed CuFeMnO4 paint (solar absorber) was coated on textured aluminum sheets by dip coating. The film’s elemental analysis was done using energy dispersive x-ray ...
Application of Geoelectrical Resistivity Method to the Assessment of Groundwater Pollution: A case Study of Onibu-Eja Active Open Dumpsite, Osogbo, Southwestern Nigeria
(World Academic Publishing, www.academicpub.org/, 2016)
Electrical resistivity methods using the dipole – dipole array and Schlumberger Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) techniques were conducted at the Onibu-Eja active open Dumpsite, Osogbo, Southwestern Nigeria in assessing ...
Radio Wave Propagation Experiment in Sugarcane Fire Environments
(Scientific Research Publishing Inc., http://www.scirp.org, 2016)
Large fires have an effect of suppressing Very or Ultra High Frequency (VHF/UHF) radio wave signals strength which consequently impact negatively on the efficiency of radio communications at the frequency ranges. Mobile ...
