Multilayer Graphene Synthesized by CVD Using Liquid Hexane as the Carbon Precursor

We produce multilayer graphene by the Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) method at atmospheric pressure and 1000 {\deg}C, using flexible copper substrates as catalyst and liquid hexane as the source of carbon. We designed an optical device to measure the transmittance of the carbon films; with this information we calculate that the approximate number of layers is 11.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figures.

Evaluation of Philippine Corn Statistics

This paper aims to broaden people’s knowledge in which the country’s official corn statistics are produced. It presents the estimation procedures used for area, production and yield. Comparisons are made among the estimators sourced from official and design estimates and from independent sources.economic/development modelling, rice commodities, rice farm, data and statistics, corn and corn products

Semi-empirical seismic relations of A-F stars from CoRoT and Kepler legacy data

Asteroseismology is witnessing a revolution thanks to high-precise asteroseismic space data (MOST, CoRoT, Kepler, BRITE), and their large ground-based follow-up programs. Those instruments have provided an unprecedented large amount of information, which allows us to scrutinize its statistical properties in the quest for hidden relations among pulsational and/or physical observables. This approach might be particularly useful for stars whose pulsation content is difficult to interpret. This is the case of intermediate-mass classical pulsating stars (i.e. gamma Dor, delta Scuti, hybrids) for which current theories do not properly predict the observed oscillation spectra. Here we establish a first step in finding such hidden relations from Data Mining techniques for these stars. We searched for those hidden relations in a sample of delta Scuti and hybrid stars observed by CoRoT and Kepler (74 and 153, respectively). No significant correlations between pairs of observables were found. However, two statistically significant correlations emerged from multivariable correlations in the observed seismic data, which describe the total number of observed frequencies and the largest one, respectively. Moreover, three different sets of stars were found to cluster according to their frequency density distribution. Such sets are in apparent agreement with the asteroseismic properties commonly accepted for A-F pulsating stars.Comment: 14 pages, 7 figures. Accepted for publication in MNRA
