Adsorptive stripping voltammetric determination of reactive dyes by Ahmad H. Al-Gamdy

“…This applied electroanalytical method was primarily based on the nonelectrolytic accumulation (adsorption) of the analyte of interest (reactive dye), followed by a cathodic reduction scan measurement. Consequently, the adsorptive stripping voltammograms of the analysed reactive dyes exhibited several useful electrochemical signals, corresponding to the cathodic reduction of the anthraquinone, azo and halo-striazine groups... cont'd.…”

Microstructural evolution in Grade 91(9CR-1MoVNb) power plant steels by J.J. Sanchez-Hanton

“…The creep strength, which is the main design criteria for this class of alloys, depends on the stability of the microstructure, which consists of tempered martensite and a fine dispersion of carbide precipitates. An understanding of the changes of these two features forms an essential process towards the creation of a physically or microstructural-based model, which may improve the current approaches towards the prediction of remanent operational lifetime of these materials in service in conventional fossil-fired power plant... cont'd.…”
