Metal Exchanged ZSM-5 Zeolite Based Catalysts for Direct Decomposition of N2O
Co+Pt/ZSM-5 and Ag+Pt/ZSM-5 type catalysts were prepared by ion exchange method followed by calcination. These Co and Ag based catalysts, promoted by a small amount of Pt have been studied for their catalytic ...

The azimuthal dependent oxidation process on Cu(110) by energetic oxygen molecules
We report a study on the oxidation process induced by a hyperthermal oxygen molecular beam (HOMB) on Cu(110) using X-ray photoemission spectroscopy in conjunction with a synchrotron radiation source. The o...

Multi-Fuel Capability of Solid Oxide Fuel Cells
One of the most attractive features of solid oxide fuel cells is their flexibility for fuels so that internal reforming and/or simple external reforming may be possible. In this study, equilibria in various po...

Software Release Games
The software release game developed in Ref. 1 is reconsidered in the framework of a two-person nonzero-sum game of timing. More precisely, noisy-type software release strategies are derived in closed form unde...

Reaction mechanism of simultaneous catalytic removal of NOx and diesel soot particulates
Reactions of diesel soot and NOx with and without O2 were carried out over CuFe2O4 catalyst. The ignition temperature of soot with the NO+O2 feed was lower than that in O2 or NO but close to those in NO2 and NO2+...

Photocatalytic reduction of CO2 with H2O on TiO2 and Cu/TiO2 catalysts
Photoinduced reduction of CO2 by H2O to produce CH4 and CH3OH has been investigated on wellcharacterized standard TiO2 catalysts and on a Cu2+ loaded TiO2 catalyst. The efficiency of this photoreaction depends st...

The Influence of HBr Discharge Ambience on Poly-Si/SiO2 Etching Selectivity
The influence of HBr discharge ambience on SiO2 etching is investigated. A batch type parallel-plate reactive ion etching (RIE) dry etcher was used. The discharge ambience was changed by changing the numbers of p...

Silent-noisy marksmanship contest with random termination
We consider a marksmanship contest in which Player I has one silent bullet, whereas Player II has one noisy bullet, the first contestant to hit his target wins, and the contest is to be terminated at a random ...

A two-person game of timing with random termination
We consider a marksmanship contest in which the first contestant to hit his target wins and the contest is to be terminated at a random timeT with cdfH(t). The model is evidently an extension of the classical dis...

Noisy duel with uncertain existence of the shot
The purpose of this paper is to discuss a noisy duel defined on the unit square in which both duelists have an uncertain knowledge about the existence of the shot fitted to their gun. This game ist solved as a...
