Oxides of the form Mn$_{4}$/O$_{4}$-CuO-Co$_{3}$/O$_{4}$-NiO-ZnO present properties that make them useful as power NTC thermistor for current limited. Electrical properties of Mn$_{3}$/O$_{4}$-CuO-Co$_{3}$/O$_{4}$-CuO-Co$_{3}$/O$_{4}$-NiO-ZnO power NTC thermistor such as I-V characteristics tim constant activation energy and heat dissipation coefficient measured as a function of temperature and composition. In Mn$_{4}$/O$_{4}$-CuO-Co$_{3}$/O$_{4}$-NiO-ZnO system with the 5wt% addition of Co$_{3}$/O$_{4}$ it can be seen that resistivity and B-constant were increased as the ratio of ZnO/Mn$_{3}$/O$_{4}$ was increased. Heat dissipation constant, I-V characteristics and time constant showed similar behaviour compared with those of conventional thermistors. In particular resistance change ratio ($\Delta$R) the important factor for reliability varied within $\pm$5% indicating the compositions of these products could be available for power thermistor.

Let A and B denote a point, a line or a circle, respectively. For a positive constant $a$, we examine the locus $C_{AB}$($a$) of points P whose distances from A and B are, respectively, in a constant ratio $a$. As a result, we establish some equivalent conditions for conic sections. As a byproduct, we give an easy way to plot points of conic sections exactly by a compass and a straightedge.

The effect of applied stress, current density and heat-treatment after welding on the time to fracture, fracture behavior was investigated by the method of constant load tensile testing under catholic charging with hydrogen in E.B. welded 250,300 Grade 18% Ni Maraging steel sheet. The main results obtained are as follows: 1. All specimen showed the characteristic delayed failure and the time to fracture showed decreasing tendency with the increase in current density and applied stress. 2. Hydrogen embitterment susceptibility of notched specimen after solution-treatment and aging after welding was more increased than that of aged smooth specimen and as welded specimen. 3. Fracture surface showed a typical intergranular fracture on the border, a dimple pattern in the center of specimen and some quasi-cleavage fracture between the intergranular and the dimple.

Isotropic pitch based carbon fibers were exposed to isothermal oxidation in carbon dioxide gas to study the activation kinetics under the temperature of 800~$1100^{\circ}C$. The kinetic equation $f=1-{\exp}(-at^b)$ was introduced and the constant b was obtained in the range of 0.92~1.25. It was shown that the activated carbon fiber shows the highly specific surface area (SSA) when the constant b comes close to 1. The activation kinetics were evaluated by the reaction-controlling regime (RCR) according to changes of the apparent activation energy with changes of the conversion. It was observed that the activation energies increase from 47.6 to 51.2 kcal/mole with the conversion increasing from 0.2 to 0.8. It was found that the pores of the activated carbon fiber under the chemical reaction were developed well through the fiber.

A RF-MEMS (radio-frequency microelectromechanical-system) based DPDT (double pole double throw) switch for the Ku band has been designed and analyzed for this article. The switch topology is based on the FG-CPW (finite ground-coplanar waveguide) configuration of a microstrip-transmission line. An FEM-based multiphysics solver is used for the evaluation of the spring constant, stress distribution, and pull-in voltage regarding the requirements of the switch-beam unit. The electromagnetic performance of the switch is investigated for a $675{\mu}m$ thick silicon substrate. For the operational frequency of 14.5 GHz, an insertion loss better than -0.3 dB, a return loss better than -40 dB, and input/output- and output-port isolations better than -35 dB are achieved for the switching unit.

The quasi-exposure rate and the quasi-effective energy of the natural radiation in the field at 47 monitoring points around nuclear power plants have been studied with the pair filter thermoluminescence dosimeter system. The results of the six years observation showed that the relationship between the quasi-exposure rate $X_q$, and quasi-effective energy $E_q$ can be represented as a hyperbolic function: $X_q=A+C/(E_q-B)$, where the constants A and B correspond to the quasi-exposure rate of cosmic-rays and the minimum quasi-effective energy of natural radiation, respectively. Furthermore, the constant A is in close agreement with the values obtained by using ionization chambers and scintillation detectors. The constant B is approximately 0.68 MeV, closely corresponding to the mean energy of the photons emitted from natural uranium.

In this paper the weight loss, surface potential decay, surface resistivity and dielectric constant are measured to investigate the surface properties, insulation characteristic changes of PET film according to the discharge treatment. As a result of the test, up to the 10[min] the surface potential decay and surface resistivity have increased. Also, from the result of dielectric constant has decreased. On the other hand, the insulation characteristic of PET film have decreased after 10[min] in the discharge treatment.

In this paper, we present a construction for binary sequences {s(t)} of period N= \ulcorner-1 for an odd prime \ulcornerbased on the polynomial (z+1)d+az d +b, and discuss them in some cases of parameters p, m, d, a and b. We show that new sequences from our construction are balanced or almost balanced, and have optimal three-level autocorrelation. We also derive the distribution of autocorrelation values they take on. The sequences satisfy constant-on-the-coset property, and we will show that there are more than one characteristic phases with constant-on-the-coset property. Some other interesting properties of these sequences will be presented. Results of an extensive computer search are summarized.

A new practical modeling of the Norton's power law creep is proposed and implemented to analyze the high temperature behaviors of Alloy 690 SG tube material. In the model, both the stress exponent n and the rate constant B are simply treated as the temperature dependent parameters. Based on the two-step optimization procedure, the temperature function of the rate constant B(T) was determined for the data set of each B value after fixing the stress exponent n value by using the prior optimized function at each temperature. This procedure could significantly reduce the numerical errors when using the power law creep equations. Based on the better description of the steady-state creep rates, the experimental rupture times could also be well predicted by using the Monkman-Grant relationship. Furthermore, the difference in tensile strengths at high temperatures could be very well estimated by assuming the imaginary creep stress related to the given strain rate after correcting the temperature effects on the elastic modulus.

The present paper reports the study of binary mixtures and their properties over the entire range of composition at temperatures 288, 298, 308 and 318 K. Excess dielectric constant, excess molar volume, excess refractive index, molar refraction and excess molar refraction at different temperatures have been computed from the experimentally measured values of the aforesaid parameters and fitted to the Redlich-Kister equation. Excess dielectric constant, excess molar volume excess molar polarizations are negative whereas excess refractive indices are positive over entire mole fraction of methyl acetate for all temperatures. The results are discussed in light of intermolecular interactions occurring in the binary mixture. Estimated coefficients of the Redlich-Kister polynomials and the standard error along the coefficients are also reported.
