My kids and I have a tradition for St. Patrick's Day. The night before St. Patrick's Day we make a Leprechaun Trap, and try to see if we can catch a funny little green man the next morning. Last year we used an old shoe box and some gold coins as our trap, but we were unsuccessful. This year I was thinking we needed something that is a little more enticing! We will be making a Doughnut Leprechaun Trap to try to catch a little Irish Luck!
Doughnut Leprechaun Trap
- Green frosting (I used store-bought with a star frosting tip)
- Sugar, Maple, Plain, or Glazed Donut
- Chocolate gold coins
- Our Leprechaun Trap Sign
Steps To Make The Perfect Leprechaun Trap:
The method for creating this leprechaun trap is quite easy. Basically, you want to lure the Leprechaun to the donut, and catch him by having him fall in to the center of the hole.
1) First cover the donut with green frosting. Nothing fancy, you are giving it a base layer to help the decorative frosting to stick.
2) Using a star tip for the frosting, begin at the top and work your way down. Squeeze a little dollop all the way around, so it looks like grass. Continue this process until the donut is completely covered, except in the center.
3) Next, place a cute little pot of gold on the center of the donut hole. We also used little gold coins! You could use a pot of gold, chocolate gold coins, or fake plastic coins — whatever you think will work best to catch your Leprechaun!
4) Finally, we topped our trap off with a cute little sign! Hopefully the Leprechaun will see this sign and come searching for his pot of gold!
The best part about building a Doughnut Leprechaun Trap instead of crafting one out of a box is that it's edible! After the kids have enjoyed seeing if we caught a Leprechaun they can eat it.
Don't forget, Leprechauns are tricky! So if you don't catch one, don't be discouraged!
Happy Hunting!

LONDON, March 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
Spread betting apps are ideal for accessing the markets wherever you are and whenever you want. The mobile trading app from City Index's 'City Trading™', has won four awards since its launch in October 2009.
As recent as November 2011, the mobile trading app - available to City Index accounts holders using iPhone™, Android and BlackBerry devices - was voted by Shares Magazine's readers as 'the industry's best mobile trading app'.
Growing Number of Mobile Traders
As the industry's first ever live trading app, its continuing success since 2009 could be down to key developments in its mobile trading offering. The introduction of a powerful live charting package sees traders gaining access to multiple technical indicators and live streaming financial news, direct for the Dow Jones Newswires.
Since launching in 2009, the percentage of client trades being placed through their mobile devices has increased from under 2% to 24% (City Index, November 2011).
This rise indicates a shift in trading styles away from over reliance upon generic PC platforms to more innovative, accessible trading technologies; such as the online and mobile trading app.
Joshua Raymond, Chief Market Strategist at City Index, said: "The [Shares Magazine] award reinforces our commitment to innovative and easy-to-use mobile dealing technologies, which our clients have really embraced over the last two years."
The mobile trading app from City Trading™ offers City Index traders full and secure access to their trading accounts wherever they are, whenever they want; allowing them to trade the opportunity as they see it.
"Mobile trading is the future of our industry and we're delighted to be recognised as the leaders in the space by readers of Shares," adds Mr Raymond.
Mobile Trading Offering
The City Trading™ app allows spread bettors, trading through a City Index account, to trade directly and securely from their mobile phone.
Focussing on the iPhone app, City Index traders can:
- Instantly check the latest prices and market movements
- Open and close positions
- Access the live streaming charting package and latest financial new from Dow Jones
- Set stop and limit orders including 'if done' and 'OCO' (one cancels other)
- Create new and amend existing orders
- View pending, completed and cancelled orders
- Monitor positions using their unique positions chart
- View and amend multiple Watchlists
- Review trade and order history
- Be confident that all information and transactions are secure
Spread betting has gained momentum over recent years; one reason could be for the advancement in various trading platforms, such as the mobile trading app from City Trading™.
It is important traders remember that as a leveraged product, spread betting can result in losses greater than your initial deposit. Ensure you fully understand the risks.
About City Index:

As a group, we transact in excess of 1.5 million trades every month in over 50 countries. We provide access to a wide range of instruments including margined foreign exchange, CFDs and, in the UK, financial spread betting.

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries. Traditional data warehouse and analytical systems are mature technologies that can be used to handle certain kinds of queries, but they are not always well suited to many problems, particularly when there is a need for real-time insights.

Flying an eight hour solo cross-country in a Piper Arrow with only the airplane's crackling radio and a large bag of M&M's for company, Sylvie Kurtz realized a pilot's life wasn't for her. The stories zooming in and out of her head proved more entertaining than the flight itself. Not a quitter, she finished her pilot's course, earning her commercial license and instrument rating.Since, then, she's traded in her pilot's license for a keyboard, where she lets her imagination soar to create fictional adventures that explore the power of love and the thrill of suspense.Her love of the outdoors led her to take a 10-week natural resources course in early 2000 and she is now a tree steward. Recently, she's undertaken the task of going through the Backyard Tree Farm Program sponsored by the University of New Hampshire Co-operative Extension.

Ms. Longshot based on 0 ratings. 1 reviews.
Gotham Rose Club member Alexa Cheltingham anxiously has waited for her first field assignment when she learns that several suspicious accidents had happened on the Palm Beach jumping circuit with one horse who died while competing having traces of cocaine in his blood. She is to go undercover as a horse groom at the stable where the daughter of the Mayor of New York Leah Siegel trains. She is to protect Leah, but also try to uncover the identity of an assailant killing steeds. The wealthy heiress is excited, but has some concerns when she runs into Ross Herdel, someone she knew as a teen and might expose her as a sham though she knows her way around a stable.............. Alexa, knowing there is no place or show in her assignment, keeps her eyes and ears open hoping to catch someone in the act as the culprit leaves no clues behind when that dastardly punk murders a horse. She also finds herself falling in love with Ross, but fears his reaction once he learns the truth about why she is here he on the other hand ponders whether she might be involved in the horse killings as he cannot fathom why the rich heiress suddenly became a groom.................. Dick Francis fans will enjoy this deep look at horse racing that serves as the anchor to the investigative romantic suspense thriller. Alexa is a terrific protagonist as she struggles with growing feelings for Ross, but also increasing fears of what he might be doing. Readers will want to take this fine tale to the pari-mutuel window, which for this reviewer means leaving Georgia...................... Harriet Klausner

Effects of annealing temperature on some structural and optical properties of ZnO nanoparticles prepared by a modified sol-gel combustion methodA. Khorsand Zak | M. Ebrahimizadeh Abrishami | W. H Abd Majid | Ramin Yousefi | S. M. Hosseini
Volume 37, Issue 1, January 2011, Pages 393-398
Plate-shaped zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) were successfully synthesized by a modified sol-gel combustion method. Zinc acetate, pure water and isopropanol were used as the starting materials. Acetic acid, diethanolamine and nitric acid were used as the polymerization agent, complexing agent and fuel, respectively. The precursors were formed by mixing aqueous solutions of zinc acetate, acetic acid and diethanolamine. Nitric acid was used to dry the produced gel. The resulting xerogel was annealed at 600 °C, 650 °C and 750 °C for 1 h. The synthesized ZnO-NPs were characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and high-magnification transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The XRD results revealed that the samples produced were crystalline with a hexagonal wurtzite phase. The TEM results showed single-crystal ZnO-NPs with nearly hexagonal plate shapes. The optical properties of the ZnO-NPs were studied by UV-visible and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The UV-vis absorption spectra of the ZnO-NPs indicated absorption peaks in the UV region, which were attributed to the band gap of the ZnO-NPs. The results of the FTIR and UV-vis studies showed that the optical properties of the ZnO-NPs depended on the annealing temperature. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l.

Mechanical activation of fly ash: Effect on reaction, structure and properties of resulting geopolymerSanjay Kumar | Rakesh Kumar
Volume 37, Issue 2, March 2011, Pages 533-541
Geopolymerisation of mechanically activated fly ash was studied at ambient (27 °C) and elevated (60 °C) temperatures by isothermal conduction calorimeter. Under both the conditions, mechanical activation enhanced the rate and decreased time of reaction. It was interesting to observe that in the samples milled for 45 min (median size ∼5 μm), a broad peak corresponding to geopolymerisation initiated at 27 °C after 32 h. The rate maxima at 60 °C, a measure of fly ash reactivity, showed a non-linear dependence on particle size and increased rapidly when the median size was reduced to less than 5-7 μm. Improvement in strength properties is correlated with median particle size, and reactivity of fly ash. The characterisation of the geopolymer samples by SEM-EDS, XRD and FTIR revealed that mechanical activation leads to microstructure and structural variations which can be invoked to explain the variation in the properties. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l.
Low temperature hydrothermal synthesis and characterization of Mn doped cobalt ferrite nanoparticlesYüksel Köseoǧlu | Furkan Alan | Muhammed Tan | Resul Yilgin | Mustafa Öztürk
Volume 38, Issue 5, July 2012, Pages 3625-3634
A series of Mn doped cobalt ferrite compounds with the formula Mn xCo 1-xFe 2O 4 where x = 0.0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0 were successfully synthesized by polyethylene glycol-assisted hydrothermal method. All samples were found to have cubic spinel structure. Average crystallite sizes of the nanoparticles were estimated using Debye-Scherrer's equation and found to be in between 14 and 22 nm with small size distribution. SEM was used to study morphological variations and EDX results showed that the compositional mass ratios were relevant as expected from the synthesis. VSM measurements show that all samples possess both ferromagnetic and superparamagnetic phases separated by blocking temperatures that decrease with increase in Mn content. Likewise, coercive fields and remanent magnetizations of the samples generally decrease as the parameter x goes from 0.0 to 1.0. They show ferromagnetic behaviors at temperatures lower than the blocking temperature. Magnetization and the coercive field of the samples increase by decreasing the temperature. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l. All rights reserved.
Effect of doping concentration on the properties of aluminium doped zinc oxide thin films prepared by spray pyrolysis for transparent electrode applicationsC. M. Muiva | T. S. Sathiaraj | K. Maabong
Volume 37, Issue 2, March 2011, Pages 555-560
Zinc oxide possesses many interesting properties, such as modifiable conductivity, wide band gap, high excitonic binding energy, piezo-electric polarisation and cathodoluminiscence. In this study transparent conducting aluminium doped zinc oxide (ZnO:Al) thin films were deposited on float glass substrates by tailor made spray pyrolysis with adaptation for measuring the actual temperature of the substrate surface during deposition. The films were characterised and the effect of aluminium doping concentration [Al/Zn] on their optical, electrical and structural properties was investigated as a function of aluminium doping between 0 and 10 at.%. There was widening of optical band gap with increasing doping concentration. ZnO:Al films with low resistivity of 2.8 × 10-2 Ω cm and high transmittance of over 85% at 550 nm which are crucial for opto-electrical applications were obtained at a doping ratio of 2 at.%. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l.
Reaction kinetics and ablation properties of C/C-ZrC composites fabricated by reactive melt infiltrationYiguang Wang | Xiaojuan Zhu | Litong Zhang | Laifei Cheng
Volume 37, Issue 4, May 2011, Pages 1277-1283
Carbon/carbon-zirconium carbide (C/C-ZrC) composites were prepared by reactive melt infiltration. Carbon fiber felt was firstly densified by carbon using chemical vapor infiltration to obtain a porous carbon/carbon (C/C) skeleton. The zirconium melt was then infiltrated into the porous C/C at temperatures higher than the melting point of zirconium to obtain C/C-ZrC composites. The infiltration depth as a function of annealing temperature and dwelling time was studied. A model based on these results was built up to describe the kinetic process. The ablation properties of the C/C-ZrC were tested under an oxyacetylene torch and a laser beam. The results indicate that the linear and mass ablation rates of the C/C-ZrC composites are greatly reduced compared with C/SiC-ZrB2, C/SiC, and C/C composites. The formation of a dense layer of ZrC and ZrO2 mixture at high temperatures is the reason for high ablation resistance. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l. All rights reserved.

Mechanical properties of graphene platelet-reinforced alumina ceramic compositesJian Liu | Haixue Yan | Kyle Jiang
Volume 39, Issue 6, August 2013, Pages 6215-6221
Alumina (Al2O3) ceramic composites reinforced with graphene platelets (GPLs) were prepared using Spark Plasma Sintering. The effects of GPLs on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the Al 2O3 based ceramic composites were investigated. The results show that GPLs are well dispersed in the ceramic matrix. However, overlapping of GPLs and porosity within ceramics are observed. The flexural strength and fracture toughness of the GPL-reinforced Al2O 3 ceramic composites are significantly higher than that of monolithic Al2O3 samples. A 30.75% increase in flexural strength and a 27.20% increase in fracture toughness for the Al2O 3ceramic composites have been achieved by adding GPLs. The toughening mechanisms, such as pull-out and crack deflection induced by GPLs are observed and discussed. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l.
XPS and optical studies of different morphologies of ZnO nanostructures prepared by microwave methodsR. Al-Gaashani | S. Radiman | A. R. Daud | N. Tabet | Y. Al-Douri
Volume 39, Issue 3, April 2013, Pages 2283-2292
Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructures of various morphologies were prepared using a microwave-assisted aqueous solution method. Herein, a comparative study between three different morphologies of ZnO nanostructures, namely nanoparticles (NPs), nanoflowers (NFs) and nanorods (NRs) has been reviewed and presented. The morphologies of the prepared powders have been studied using field effect scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). X-ray diffraction (XRD) results prove that ZnO nanorods have biggest crystallite size compared with nanoflowers and nanoparticles. The texture coefficient (Tc) of three morphologies has been calculated. The Tc changed with varying morphology. A comparative study of surfaces of NPs, NFs and NRs were investigated using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The possible growth mechanisms of ZnO NPs, NFs and NRs have been described. The optical properties of the ZnO nanostructures of various morphologies have been investigated and showed that the biggest crystallite size of ZnO nanostructures has lowest band gap energy. The obtained results are in agreement with experimental and theoretical data of other researchers.
Development of hard/soft ferrite nanocomposite for enhanced microwave absorptionSachin Tyagi | Himanshu B. Baskey | Ramesh Chandra Agarwala | Vijaya Agarwala | Trilok Chand Shami

Nickel and zinc substituted strontium hexaferrite, SrFe11Zn 0.5Ni0.5O19 (SrFe12O 19/NiFe2O4/ZnFe2O4) nanoparticles having super paramagnetic nature are synthesized by co-precipitation of chloride salts using 7.5 M sodium hydroxide solution. The resulting precursors are heat treated (HT) at 900 and 1200 °C for 4 h in nitrogen atmosphere. During heat treatment, transformation proceeds as a constant rate of nucleation and three dimensional growth with an activation energy of 176.79 kJ/mol. The hysteresis loops show an increase in saturation magnetization from 1.042 to 59.789 emu/g with increasing HT temperatures. The 'as-synthesized' particles with spherical and needle shapes have size in the range of 20-25 nm. Further, these spherical and needle shaped nanoparticles tend to change their morphology to hexagonal plate and pyramidal shapes with increase in HT temperatures. The effect of such a systematic morphological transformation of nanoparticles on dielectric (complex permittivity and permeability) and microwave absorption properties are estimated in X band (8.2-12.2 GHz). The maximum reflection loss of the composite reaches -29.62 dB (99% power attenuation) at 10.21 GHz which suits its application in RADAR absorbing materials. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l.

A porous hydroxyapatite scaffold for bone tissue engineering: Physico-mechanical and biological evaluationsGarima Tripathi | Bikramjit Basu
Volume 38, Issue 1, January 2012, Pages 341-349
Polymer sponge replication method was used in this study to prepare the macroporous hydroxyapatite scaffolds with interconnected oval shaped pores of 100-300 μm with pore wall thickness of ∼50 μm. The compression strength of 60 wt.% HA loaded scaffold was 1.3 MPa. The biological response of the scaffold was investigated using human osteoblast like SaOS2 cells. The results showed that SaOS2 cells were able to adhere, proliferate and migrate into pores of scaffold. Furthermore, the cell viability was found to increase on porous scaffold compared to dense HA. The expression of alkaline phosphate, a differentiation marker for SaOS2 cells was enhanced as compared to nonporous HA disc with respect to number of days of culture. The enhanced cellular functionality and the ability to support osteoblast differentiation for porous scaffolds in comparison to dense HA has been explained in terms of higher protein absorption on porous scaffold. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l.

Dependence of optical properties on doping metal, crystallite size and defect concentration of M-doped ZnO nanopowders (M = Al, Mg, Ti)Sumetha Suwanboon | Pongsaton Amornpitoksuk | Apinya Sukolrat
Volume 37, Issue 4, May 2011, Pages 1359-1365
ZnO, Al-, Mg- and Ti-doped ZnO nanopowders were synthesized from CTAB-assisted oxalate intermediate by thermal decomposition method at 600 °C in air. All samples presented a hexagonal wurtzite structure. The spherical nanoparticles assembled in a porous octahedron-like shape for all samples. The size of Al-doped ZnO nanopowders increased as a function of Al ion concentration whereas the size of Mg- and Ti-doped ZnO nanopowders decreased when Mg and Ti ion concentrations were increased. The increment and reduction of their sizes can be explained by the Zener pinning effect. The Eg value of Al-doped ZnO nanopowders slightly decreased when Al ions were increased due to the crystallite size and defect concentration increased. In contrast, the E g value of Mg- and Ti-doped ZnO nanopowders increased as a function of Mg and Ti ion concentration which can be explained by the Moss-Burstein effect. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l.

Synthesis and characterization of hydroxyapatite/β-tricalcium phosphate nanocomposites using microwave irradiationA. Farzadi | M. Solati-Hashjin | F. Bakhshi | A. Aminian
Volume 37, Issue 1, January 2011, Pages 65-71
Microwave assisted synthesis method is a relatively new approach employed to decrease synthesis time and form a more homogenous structure in biphasic calcium phosphate bioceramics. In this study, nanocrystalline HA/β-TCP composites were prepared by microwave assisted synthesis method and, for comparison reason, by conventional wet chemical methods. The chemical and phase composition, morphology and particle size of powders were characterized by FTIR, XRD and SEM, respectively. The use of microwave irradiation resulted in improved crystallinity. The amount of hydroxyapatite phase in BCP ranged from 5% to 17%. The assessment of bioactivity was done by soaking of powder compacts in simulated body fluid (SBF). The decreasing pH of the solution in the presence of β-TCP indicated its biodegradable behavior. Rod-like hydroxyapatite particles were newly formed during the treatment in SBF for microwave assisted substrate synthesis. In contrast, globular particles precipitate under same conditions if BCP substrates were synthesized using conventional wet chemical methods. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l.
Determination of structural and mechanical properties of multilayer graphene added silicon nitride-based compositesPéter Kun | Orsolya Tapasztó | Ferenc Wéber | Csaba Balázsi
Volume 38, Issue 1, January 2012, Pages 211-216
Silicon nitride based nanocomposites have been prepared with different amount (1 and 3 wt%) of multilayer graphene (MLG) as well as exfoliated graphite nanoplatelets (xGnP) and nano graphene platelets (Angstron) in comparison. The microstructure and mechanical properties of the graphene reinforced silicon nitride based composite materials have been investigated. Homogeneous distribution of the MLG additives have been observed on the fracture surface of the sintered material. The scanning electron microscopy examinations showed that graphene platelets are inducing porosity in matrix. The bending strength and elastic modulus of MLG/Si3N4 composites showed enhanced values compared to the other graphene added silicon nitride ceramic composites. These observations may be explained by the different type and quality of the starting materials and by the dispersion grade of graphene platelets having direct impact to the resulting density of the sintered samples. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l.

Thermal shock behavior of 8YSZ and double-ceramic-layer LaL. Wang | Y. Wang | X. G. Sun | J. Q. He | Z. Y. Pan | C. H. Wang
2Zr 2O 7/8YSZ thermal barrier coatings fabricated by atmospheric plasma spraying
Volume 38, Issue 5, July 2012, Pages 3595-3606
The single-ceramic-layer (SCL) 8YSZ (conventional and nanostructured 8YSZ) and double-ceramic-layer (DCL) La 2Zr 2O 7 (LZ)/8YSZ thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) were fabricated by plasma spraying on nickel-based superalloy substrates with NiCrAlY as the bond coat. The thermal shock behavior of the three as-sprayed TBCs at 1000°C and 1200°C was investigated. The results indicate that the thermal cycling lifetime of LZ/8YSZ TBCs is longer than that of SCL 8YSZ TBCs due to the fact that the DCL LZ/8YSZ TBCs further enhance the thermal insulation effect, improve the sintering resistance ability and relieve the thermal mismatch between the ceramic layer and the metallic layer at high temperature. The nanostructured 8YSZ has higher thermal shock resistance ability than that of the conventional 8YSZ TBC which is attributed to the lower tensile stress in plane and higher fracture toughness of the nanostructured 8YSZ layer. The pre-existed cracks in the surface propagate toward the interface vertically under the thermal activation. The nucleation and growth of the horizontal crack along the interface eventually lead to the failure of the coating. The crack propagation modes have been established, and the failure patterns of the three as-sprayed coatings during thermal shock have been discussed in detail. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l.
Dielectric, electromagnetic absorption and interference shielding properties of porous yttria-stabilized zirconia/silicon carbide compositesXiaowei Yin | Yeye Xue | Litong Zhang | Laifei Cheng
Volume 38, Issue 3, April 2012, Pages 2421-2427
SiC was infiltrated into porous yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) felt by chemical vapor infiltration (CVI), and continuous SiC matrix layer was formed around YSZ fibre. When 86.9 wt.% SiC is introduced into the porous YSZ felt, the mean values of the real part of the permittivity and dielectric loss tangent of porous YSZ felt increase from 1.16 and 0.007 to 8.2 and 1.31, respectively. The electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding efficiency (SE) increases from 0.069 dB to 16.2 dB over the frequencies ranging from 8.2 GHz to 12.4 GHz. The reflection loss of the composites with a thickness of 5 mm at 8-18 GHz is smaller than -6.5 dB, and the bandwidth below -10 dB is 5 GHz at room temperature, which increases to 5.9 GHz at 800°C. The considerable increases in EMI SE and microwave absorption properties are attributed to the formation of continuous SiC matrix layer composed of SiC nanocrystals in the porous YSZ felt, which is beneficial for the production of induced electric current and the enhancement of dielectric loss. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l.

This paper reports on the corrosion and scratch behavior of TiO 2 + 50%HAp nanoceramic coated Ti-13Nb-13Zr orthopedic implant alloy. An adherent thin coating was obtained using the electrophoretic deposition (EPD) technique at 30 V and sintering at 850 °C. The microstructure of the coated surfaces was characterized by optical microscopy, AFM, and SEM, and the composition of the coating was examined using EDAX. The functional groups and formed phases analyzed using FT-IR, and XRD. Further, the adhesion strength of the coatings was evaluated using scratch tester and the corrosion behavior of all samples was tested in Simulated Body Fluid (SBF-Hank's solution) using a potentiodynamic polarization studies. The sintered coating exhibited higher adhesion, lower porosity and higher density compared to unsintered samples, and higher corrosion resistance compared to the substrate. However, the corrosion resistance of the unsintered coating was superior to that of the sintered one due to the presence of minimal interconnected porosity. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l.

Bi 1-xBa xFeO 3 (x = 0.00-0.25) samples were prepared by conventional solid state reaction method. X-ray diffraction revealed the rhombohedrally distorted perovskite structure for undoped BiFeO 3 with a phase transition from rhombohedral to pseudo cubic on Ba substitution. The leakage current density of 10% Ba substituted sample is found to be four orders of magnitude less than that of the pure BiFeO 3. Grain boundary limited conduction and space charge limited conduction mechanisms are involved in low and high electric field regions respectively for all the samples except 10% Ba doped BFeO 3 which obeys grain boundary limited conduction mechanism in whole of the electric field range. Dielectric measurements showed that the dielectric constant and dielectric loss attained their minimum values at 10% Ba substitution. Thus 10% Ba is found to be optimum concentration to have better multiferroic properties. Undoped BiFeO 3 and 5% Ba doped samples have very large values of dielectric constants and leakage current densities which can be attributed to a large number of oxygen vacancies in these samples, indicating an extrinsic response of these compositions. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l.

Spark plasma sintering (SPS) of monolithic ZrB2 ultra-high temperature ceramic and 2-6 vol% graphene nanoplates (GNPs) reinforced ZrB 2 matrix composites is reported. The SPS at 1900 °C with a uni-axial pressure of 70 MPa and soaking time of 15 min resulted in near-full densification in ZrB2-GNP composites. Systematic investigations on the effect of GNP reinforcement on densification behavior, microstructure, and mechanical properties (microhardness, biaxial flexural strength, and indentation fracture toughness) of the composites are presented. Densification mechanisms, initiated by interfacial reactions, are also proposed based on detailed thermodynamic analysis of possible reactions at the sintering temperature and the analysis of in-process punch displacement profiles. The results show that GNPs can be retained in the ZrB2 matrix composites even with high SPS temperature of 1900 °C and cause toughening of the composites through a range of toughening mechanisms, including GNP pull-out, crack deflection, and crack bridging. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l.
Structural, magnetic, electrical and dielectric properties of Mn xNi1-xFe2O4 spinel nanoferrites prepared by PEG assisted hydrothermal methodYüksel Köseoǧlu
Volume 39, Issue 4, May 2013, Pages 4221-4230
MnxNi1-xFe2O4 (x=0.2, 0.4, 0.6) nanoparticles were synthesized by a polyethylene glycol (PEG)-assisted hydrothermal route. We present a systematic investigation on the structural, magnetic, electrical and dielectric properties of the products by using XRD, FT-IR, SEM, TGA, VSM and dielectric spectroscopy, respectively. Single phased cubic spinel structure was confirmed for all samples and the average crystallite size of the products was estimated using Line profile fitting and ranges between 6.5 and 11 nm. The nanoparticles have ferromagnetic nature with small coercivity. The samples showed semiconducting behavior which is revealed from temperature dependent conductivity measurements. Temperature and frequency dependent dielectric property; dielectric permittivity (ε) and ac conductivity (σAC) studies for the samples indicated that the dielectric dispersion curve for all samples showed usual dielectric dispersion confirming the thermally activated relaxation typical for Debye-like relaxation referring to it as the Maxwell-Wagner relaxation for the interfacial polarization of homogeneous double structure. The particle size, saturation magnetization, coercive field, conductivity and dielectric constant of the samples are strictly temperature dependent and increased with Mn concentration. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l.
Synthesis and characterization of monetite and hydroxyapatite whiskers obtained by a hydrothermal methodBojan Jokić | Miodrag Mitrić | Velimir Radmilović | Sasa Drmanić | Rada Petrović | Djordje Janaćković
Volume 37, Issue 1, January 2011, Pages 167-173
High temperature hydrothermal syntheses, using calcium nitrate tetrahydrate, sodium dihydrogen phosphate and urea as precursors, and characterization of hydroxyapatite (HAp) whiskers are reported herein. The morphology and chemical composition of the crystals from a monetite to a hydroxyapatite phase were controlled by varying the starting concentrations of the precursors and the solution pH through the amount of urea that is decomposed during heating. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, infrared spectroscopy (IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and high-resolution TEM (HRTEM) were used to investigate the products of the syntheses in order to find the optimum reaction conditions for obtaining the desired morphology and phase composition. Different morphologies ranging from single crystals of monetite through rods and plates of hydroxyapatite with different size distribution to whisker-like single hydroxyapatite crystal were achieved by simply varying the starting concentration of urea. Structural refinement of the hydroxyapatite whiskers confirmed a strong preferential orientation along the c-axis direction of the hexagonal crystal structure, which was significantly different from the usually observed random crystal orientation. TEM and SEM analysis of the apatite whiskers confirmed single crystal structure with the a c-axis orientation parallel to the long axis of the whiskers, with sizes up to 150 μm in length, 10 μm in width and with a thickness of about 300 nm, that grew from the same centre of nucleation, forming flaky-like particles. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l.

1-xNd xFeO 3 multiferroic by the Rietveld method
Volume 38, Issue 5, July 2012, Pages 3935-3942
The effect of Nd doping on Bi 1-xNd xFeO 3 (x = 0.0, 0.175, 0.20) multiferroics synthesized by chemical co-precipitation method has been investigated by Rietveld analysis of X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) data. The formations of the single-phase compounds were confirmed by XRD. X-ray diffraction along with the Rietveld-refinement showed a gradual change in crystal structure from rhombohedral to triclinic with increasing Nd doping concentration. The bond distances along with bond angles between atoms for all the compounds were calculated which supports the structural results. Raman spectroscopy also recommends a structural change and is accompanied by the weakening of long-range ferroelectric order with increasing doping concentration (x). The results of Raman spectra for BiFeO 3 (BFO) match well with the earlier reported bulk ceramic and epitaxially grown thin film of BFO. The ferroelectric-paraelectric transition in 20% Nd BFO substituted was explained according to the change of Bi-O covalent bond as a result of decline of stereochemical activity of Bi lone pair electron and is further confirmed through ferroelectric polarization (P-E) hysteresis loop. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l.

2 and ZnO film sensors for gas sensing at room temperature
Volume 38, Issue 1, January 2012, Pages 503-509
In order to find a new approach for screening the photoactivated gas sensing materials with high sensitivity, a comparative study was carried out. With the simple technique of screen printing, TiO2 and ZnO were used to fabricate the UV light activated gas sensors which were applied at room temperature. To facilitate the simultaneous measurements of the current transients of the two materials, they were printed on the same alumina substrate. Compared with ZnO, TiO2 exhibited a superior performance to ethanol and formaldehyde gases. It was found that the responses of TiO 2 increased with the concentration of test gas and amounted to 224 and 1700 to 100 ppm ethanol and formaldehyde gases, respectively, while the responses of ZnO to 100 ppm ethanol and formaldehyde gases were 0.14 and 1.5, respectively. The mechanism of such a huge difference between TiO2 and ZnO was discussed in detail. Furthermore, it is suggested that metal oxide semiconductor with lower photo-to-dark current ratio can achieve higher photoactivated gas sensitivity. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l.

Improved thermal shock performance of Al 2O 3-C refractories due to nanoscaled additivesV. Roungos | C. G. Aneziris
Volume 38, Issue 2, March 2012, Pages 919-927
Carbon bonded alumina refractories with approximately 30 wt.-% residual carbon after coking are widely used as functional components such as submerged entry nozzles, monobloc stoppers and ladle shrouds in steel casting operations. Compositions with less residual carbon after coking based on nanoscaled magnesium aluminate spinel (MgAl 2O 4), alumina nanosheets (α-Al 2O 3) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) either as single additives or combinations have been investigated according to their physical, mechanical and thermo-mechanical properties. The combination of nanoscaled powders based on carbon nanotubes and alumina nanosheets lead to superior thermal shock performance with approximately 30% less residual carbon in comparison to commercial available material compositions. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l.

Volume 38, Issue 7, September 2012, Pages 5723-5730
A high performance and low cost C/C-ZrC composite was prepared by chemical vapor infiltration combined with zirconium-silicon (Zr: 91.2 at.%; Si: 8.8 at.%) alloyed reactive melt infiltration. The density of the as-received composite is 2.46 g/cm 3 and the open porosity is 5%. Due to the reaction between the pyrolytic carbon and Zr-Si alloy in the composite, ZrC and Zr 2Si phases were formed, the formation and distribution of which were investigated by thermodynamics and phase diagram. The as-received C/C-ZrC composite, with the flexural strength of 239.5 MPa, displayed a pseudo-ductile fracture behavior. Ablation properties of the C/C-ZrC composite were tested by a pulse laser. The linear ablation rate was 0.028 mm/s. A ZrO 2 barrier layer was formed on the ablation surface and the composite presented excellent ablation resistance. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l. All rights reserved.
Synthesis, characterization and microbiological response of silver doped bioactive glass nanoparticlesAbeer M. El-Kady | Ashraf F. Ali | Rizk A. Rizk | Manar M. Ahmed
Volume 38, Issue 1, January 2012, Pages 177-188
Glass nanoparticles containing 1, 3, 5, and 10 wt% of Ag2O (coded; GAg1%, GAg3%, GAg5%, and GAg10%, respectively) were synthesized through a quick alkali mediated sol-gel method and were characterized by TEM, XRF, FT-IR, XRD, TGA, and DSC. Thermal analysis showed that all organic and inorganic by-products were completely decomposed before 700 °C and, hence, all glass samples were stabilized at this temperature. XRD confirmed the amorphous nature of all glasses after stabilization. TEM micrographs showed that the average particle sizes of all samples were less than 100 nm in diameter and the XRF showed that the compositions of the obtained glasses were almost consistent with the designed ones. The samples GAg1%, GAg3%, GAg5%, and GAg10%, showed average pore diameters of 19.85, 18.22, 13.32, and 19.62 nm and specific surface areas of 73.18, 100.38, 192.6, and 55.7 m2/g, respectively. In addition, their porosity% was 76.53, 83.20, 77.97, and 79.61%, respectively. The FT-IR spectra of all glasses showed bands located in the range of 1000-1200, 725-800, and 450-480 cm-1 that correspond to the Si-O-Si asymmetric stretching vibration, the Si-O-Si symmetric stretching vibration, and the Si-O-Si bending mode, respectively. Finally, all samples had an anti-bacterial effect against different types of bacteria and the extraction of silver ions from them followed a diffusion-controlled mechanism, which could demonstrate their ability to treat bone infection. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l.

AMD Cool n Quiet
Similar to Intel's SpeedStep Technology, which originally came about to prolong the battery life for mobile users through reducing the CPU clock frequency and voltage, AMD's Athlon 64 processors support the use of Cool 'n' Quiet Technology. Advanced Micro Devices Cool 'n' Quiet Technology is targeted for both consumer and commercial use through reducing the heat output, noise level, and power consumption for systems running Athlon 64 processors. To not infer with the computing experience, Cool 'n' Quiet dynamically clocks the CPU to lower the power consumption while delivering performance-on-demand so the system will not run slow when under heavy usage (i.e. gaming, encoding, and compiling). In fact, AMD Cool 'n' Quiet Technology was recognized with Energy Star recognition in 2005 from the United States (EPA) Environmental Protection Agency.
Unlike Intel's SpeedStep Technology that is limited to desktop utilization on the Pentium 600 and 800 (excluding 820) and newer series, Cool 'n' Quiet is supportive by all Athlon 64-based systems even going back to Socket 754 systems. In addition, Cool 'n' Quiet is compatible with AMD's Athlon 64 X2 dual-core processors. However, to have the technology enabled the motherboard, BIOS, software driver, and CPU cooler must be supportive of this technology.

Tor: Statement
Seven weeks ago, I published a blog post saying that Jacob Appelbaum had left the Tor Project, and I invited people to contact me as the Tor Project began an investigation into allegations regarding his behavior. Since then, a number of people have come forward with first-person accounts and other information. The Tor Project hired a professional investigator, and she interviewed many individuals to determine the facts concerning the allegations. The investigator worked closely with me and our attorneys, helping us to understand the overall factual picture as it emerged.

GREENVILLE -- An agriculture professor says Mississippi's catfish industry has been devastated by Asian imports.
Jimmy Avery says that in 2002, the state had 111,500 acres devoted to the catfish industry.
By 2012, that was down to 51,200 acres.
Avery is a Mississippi State University Extension Service professor and director of the Southern Regional Aquaculture Center.
The Delta Democrat Times reports that he spoke to the Greenville Rotary Club on Thursday.

any technical reason for all major players of why they don't produce dual sims for large display hp (5">) beside sharp. some say coz of it's easily hang when wifi also built in. for my G-Phone taiwan 2 sims, it just hang once in month only, that ok for me..no body perfect. any tech reason for samsung, nokia, apple refuse with dual sims ?
Great Spec.
Nokia realised the ground realities.
Imagine if nokia produce these spec with Android os what will be result.......

and you know sometimes quad core phones are far inferior than those in a single/dual core only. Watta shame right? That's true haha
Soyam, 01 Nov 2012Nokia has also joined the party and now they should start the production of quad-core phones i... morenumber of cores aren't important and will not matters most. Whether its dual, triple, quad or even five cores and up (so silly) will not made a phone far superior to those phones with a single or even dual cores only. Android needs dual, quad core (or even up) because android OS really lags and hangs if you will just give it a single core CPUs whereas windows OS doesn't need/never needs a quad core coz Windows OS is not a laggy OS. Even a single core is really enough for windows to use coz it's already smooth, fluid and user friendly compared to android that will never survive without the plenty number of cores. Besides, each cores to be used really consumes a power a lot that's why android phones will never lasts even a single day with a heavy usage on it. Number of cores isn't the criteria for a phone to be called a "must have phone" ok? Make some research sometimes instead of making some silly chit chats in here knowing nothing.
Anonymous, 01 Nov 2012have u considered the sheer effort nokia have already put in the 920......wp8 doesnt have a st... moreLumia 920 has equalizer actually now..
This phone really needs a micro sd card slot, and removable consumer replaceable battery and this phone would be perfect!

And apple r u listening wp8 got bluetooth file transfers and nfc too!
Soyam, 01 Nov 2012Nokia has also joined the party and now they should start the production of quad-core phones i... more@Soyam
Why would Nokia need to start producing quad core phones when WP8 doesn't need quad core processors to run smoothly?
marc!, 01 Nov 2012rumored on this phone is.. it has feature like wireless charging?@marc!
No, it's not a rumour but a well publicized fact the the 920 has wireless charging capabilities built into the phone.
In Dubai it's already in Axiom store for pre-order at 2,499dhs ($695). It will be available on Nov.15.
I'm still waiting for a review from GSMarena and make a decision between Lumia 920 and Nexus 4.
what's the obsession with quad core and 2gb ram if it can perform just as fast??
is it a laptop?
i think real time performance matter more than mere specs!
Ofcourse if it can't perform then upgrade would be required.
