Chemical, physical and morphological characterization of ZnNi films electrodeposited on 1010 steel substrate from acid baths containing polyalcohol
AbstractZnNi alloy electrodeposition on a 1010 steel electrode in boric-acid baths containing sorbitol, mannitol or glycerol was investigated by cyclic voltammetry. Electrodeposits obtained galvanostatically were characterized by SEM, EDS and XRD. It was found that in baths containing sorbitol or mannitol, the deposition current density (jd) was reduced, but in none of the baths was the initial deposition potential affected. SEM images of deposits revealed that the boric-sorbitol and boric-mannitol complexes refine the grain, even at high jd. XRD patterns of the ZnNi deposits produced at jd=50mAcmâ2, in ZnNi1 bath and in ZnNi1 bath contained sorbitol or mannitol, indicated that the films were formed mainly of Zn and Îł1 phases. To ZnNi2 baths contained glycerol the films were formed of Îł and Îł1 phases. The Ni content in the deposits produced in the bath without polyalcohol or containing glycerol increased from ~5 to 19wt.% with increasing jd. With sorbitol or mannitol, there was a smaller rise from ~7 to 10wt.% Ni. Thus, ZnNi deposits providing sacrificial protection can be obtained in baths with or without polyalcohol. The linear polarization method showed that ZnNi alloy deposited from baths contained polyalcohol have greate Rp
Estudos sobre a nutrição mineral do arroz: VII. exigĂȘncias nutricionais das variedades IAC-25 e IAC-47
Rice plants, varieties IAC 25 and IAC 47, were grown in nutrient solution till the end of the life cycle when they were analysed both for macro and micronutrients. Main conclusions were the following: IAC 47, higher yielding, showed larger requirements than IAC 25; for production (total) and export (grain), the demand for nutrients was the same in both varieties.As exigĂȘncias nutricionais das variedades de arroz IAC 25 e IAC 47 foram determinadas analisando-se os diferentes ĂłrgĂŁos de plantas cultivadas em solução nutritiva atĂ© o fim do ciclo. Verificou-se serem distintas as exigĂȘncias, maior na IAC 47 (mais tardia) que deu tambĂ©m maior produção de grĂŁos com casca
Measurement of the p-pbar -> Wgamma + X cross section at sqrt(s) = 1.96 TeV and WWgamma anomalous coupling limits
The WWgamma triple gauge boson coupling parameters are studied using p-pbar
-> l nu gamma + X (l = e,mu) events at sqrt(s) = 1.96 TeV. The data were
collected with the DO detector from an integrated luminosity of 162 pb^{-1}
delivered by the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. The cross section times branching
fraction for p-pbar -> W(gamma) + X -> l nu gamma + X with E_T^{gamma} > 8 GeV
and Delta R_{l gamma} > 0.7 is 14.8 +/- 1.6 (stat) +/- 1.0 (syst) +/- 1.0 (lum)
pb. The one-dimensional 95% confidence level limits on anomalous couplings are
-0.88 < Delta kappa_{gamma} < 0.96 and -0.20 < lambda_{gamma} < 0.20.Comment: Submitted to Phys. Rev. D Rapid Communication
Measurement of the ttbar Production Cross Section in ppbar Collisions at sqrt{s} = 1.96 TeV using Kinematic Characteristics of Lepton + Jets Events
We present a measurement of the top quark pair ttbar production cross section
in ppbar collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV using 230 pb**{-1}
of data collected by the DO detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. We
select events with one charged lepton (electron or muon), large missing
transverse energy, and at least four jets, and extract the ttbar content of the
sample based on the kinematic characteristics of the events. For a top quark
mass of 175 GeV, we measure sigma(ttbar) = 6.7 {+1.4-1.3} (stat) {+1.6- 1.1}
(syst) +/-0.4 (lumi) pb, in good agreement with the standard model prediction.Comment: submitted to Phys.Rev.Let
Measurement of the ttbar Production Cross Section in ppbar Collisions at sqrt(s)=1.96 TeV using Lepton + Jets Events with Lifetime b-tagging
We present a measurement of the top quark pair () production cross
section () in collisions at TeV
using 230 pb of data collected by the D0 experiment at the Fermilab
Tevatron Collider. We select events with one charged lepton (electron or muon),
missing transverse energy, and jets in the final state. We employ
lifetime-based b-jet identification techniques to further enhance the
purity of the selected sample. For a top quark mass of 175 GeV, we
measure pb, in
agreement with the standard model expectation.Comment: 7 pages, 2 figures, 3 tables Submitted to Phys.Rev.Let
