... Several direct and indirect testing techniques to characterize the strength and distribution in strength of structural thin films have been developed with widely varying results appearing in the literature (roughly 1 to 4 GPa for polysilicon). Much of the variation between authors has been...

... for the real time measurement of neutron flux and gamma-ray intensity distribution in reactor cores, a system composed of scintillator-optical fiber detector and fiber driver was newly tried. A pulse counting system that we successfully developed before was difficult to use in such an intense...

... Thermal stability problems encountered over the past few years during the distribution of jet fuel will be reviewed. Surprisingly almost all of the problems have occurred during transportation by ship with very few being encountered with rail and multi-product pipeline movements. The reason...

The product's two-year shelf life was established in three months of research time. The product, Fibre Trim effervescent tablets, became the first effervescent tablet to be introduced...
