Factors influencing the level of use of climate-smart agricultural practices (CSAPs) in Sokoto state, Nigeria
Authors: Ojoko Emmanuel , Akinwunmi James , Yusuf Sulaiman , Oni Omobowale
Published: November 2017

Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) is paramount to the success of farming
activities today in the face of the menace of climate change. This study
therefore investigated the frequency of usage of CSA and the factors
influencing its level of usage in the Northern agricultural zone of Sokoto
State. A well-structured questionnaire was used for data collection. The data
used for the analysis were cross sectional data collected from 120 rural
farming households in six (6) villages across two (2) local government areas.
Descriptive statistics, Adaptation Strategy Use Index (ASUI) and ordered
probit regression model were used for data analysis. Results indicated that
the majority of the respondents were male (83.33%), married (83.33%), had
Quranic education (73.33%), household size of 1-10 persons (58.33%), farming
experience of 16-30 years (49.17%) and were between the ages of 46 and 60
(44.17%). Similarly, the practice of conservation agriculture was the most
used CSAP in the study area, while the results of the ordered probit
regression showed that years of education and membership of a social group
were significant explanatory variables influencing the level of use of CSAP
among the low user and high user categories at the 10% and 1% level of
significance respectively, while access to credit significantly influenced
only the low user category at the 10% level of significance. The study
therefore concluded that CSAPs were being practiced at different levels in
the study area with various factors influencing their usage, and it therefore
recommended that the farming households be well enlightened by extension
agents on the benefits of CSAPs.
Fabrication of reduced graphene oxide decorated with CuS nanoparticles and its activity toward the adsorption of Methylene Blue
Authors: Tuz Johra , Jung Woo-Gwang
Published: November 2017

Reduced graphene oxide (RGO) can act as an adsorbent because of its high surface area. The adsorptive characteristics of a RGO composite combined with CuS were studied quantitatively. The removal efficiency of Methylene Blue was found to be about 85%, which is higher than that of bare CuS (?73%). Furthermore, the kinetics of adsorption of Methylene Blue was inspected to determine the rate of the process. The removal process was faster with the RGO?CuS system than with bare CuS. Both high and low temperatures were not favorable for this adsorption process. In highly ionic media of high or low pH, the adsorption was greater than in media of neutral pH. Thermodynamic parameters were calculated in this study and they suggest that this is physisorption and exothermic in nature.
Peculiarities of a glass-sludge mixture subjected to low-temperature treatment
Authors: Parra Parra , Vlasova Marina , Márquez Aguilar , Tomila Tamara
Published: November 2017

In this work, the specific features of formation of a composite material
consisting of a mixture of low-melting ground glass and waste active sludge,
which is used for sewage purification, have been considered. It has been
established that, after low-temperature (600-700?C) short-term (30-60 min)
treatment, specimens consist of a porous glass shell and a core saturated by
carbon form. With change in temperature treatment conditions, the thickness
and porosity of the shell and the size of the carbonized core change, leading
to different absorption and adsorption properties. Due to the presence of a
carbon-containing core, specimens absorb efficiently methylene blue (MB) from
aqueous solution.

Yttrium orthoferrite (YFeO3) powder was prepared by a mechanochemical
synthesis from a mixture of Y2O3 and ?-Fe2O3 powders in a planetary ball mill
for 2.5 h. The obtained YFeO3 powder sample was characterized by X-ray
diffraction (XRD), Raman and infrared spectroscopy. The average crystallite
size calculated by the Scherrer equation was 12 nm. The M?ssbauer
spectroscopy at room temperature confirms the superparamagnetic character of
YFeO3 orthoferrite sample.
In-situ formation and densification of MgAl2O4-Y3Al5O12 and MgAl2O4-MgNb2O6 ceramics via a single-stage SRS process
Authors: Zhang Bowen , Ma Beiyue , Zhu Qiang , Li Shiming , Chen Yikun , Yu Jingkun , Li Guangqiang
Published: November 2017

MgAl2O4 (MA)-Y3Al5O12 (YAG) and MA-MgNb2O6 (MN) ceramics with high density
were successfully fabricated via a single-stage solid-state reaction
sintering (SRS) process at 1580?C for 4 h. The effect of Y2O3 or Nb2O5
additions from 2.5 wt% to 7.5 wt% on the phase compositions, microstructures,
shrinkage ratio, apparent porosity, bulk density and cold compressive
strength of MA-YAG and MA-MN ceramics has been investigated. It was found
that MgO and Y2O3 reacted with Al2O3 to form MA and YAG during sintering
while Nb2O5 reacted with MgO to form MN. YAG and MA grains in the MA-YAG
ceramics exist as granular shape, and their average grain size is about 1 ?m
and 5 ?m, respectively. YAG grains distribute on the intergranular space of
MA particles. Polygonal MA particles can be observed in the MA-MN ceramics,
and MN grains distribute on the intergranular space of MA particles as well
as on MA particles. Rod-like MN grains can be formed in the MA-MN ceramics by
addition of 7.5 wt% Nb2O5. The diameter shrinkage ratio, volume shrinkage
ratio, bulk density and cold compressive strength of MA-YAG and MA-MN
ceramics are greatly improved by doping Y2O3 and Nb2O5, respectively.

Published: November 2017

In this study the characterization of FeCo-2V alloys toroidal samples
produced by PIM/MIM technology was presented. The feedstock for metal
injection molding (MIM) was prepared by mixing starting FeCoV powder with a
low viscosity binder. Green samples were subjected to solvent debinding and
subsequent thermal debinding followed by sintering. Sintering was performed
during 3.5 hours from 1370?C to 1460?C in hydrogen atmosphere in order to
attain the appropriate mechanical and magnetic properties. Microstructure,
hardness HV10 and magnetic hysteresis B(H) were investigated as a function of
sintering temperature. Optimum combination of functional properties was
observed after sintering at temperature of 1370?C. In addition, magnetic
properties were analyzed as frequency dependent and successfully simulated in
operating frequency range from 5 Hz to 60 Hz.
Juridisk literacy i skolen. Ikke-juristers lovtekstlesing og rettsanvendelse
Authors: Fjørtoft Henning , Vatn Gunhild Åm , Eriksen Pia Farstad
Published: November 2017

Lovtekster regulerer viktige samfunnsområder, og anvendes som verktøy for å utøve skjønn og ta avgjørelser i ulike virksomheter. Artikkelen undersøker hvordan opplæringslova (Lov om grunnskolen og den vidaregåande opplæringa) forstås og anvendes i hverdagen av henholdsvis skoleledere, foreldrerepresentanter ved en norsk ungdomsskole og skolefaglige ansatte i samme kommune. Gjennom gruppeintervjuer med høyttenkningsmetode undersøkes deltakernes erfaringer med bruk av lovtekstene, lesestrategier, og refleksjoner over selve leseprosessen. Studien finner at lesere med lav kjennskap til juridiske tekster primært anvender sosiale strategier for å forstå: De spør om hjelp i sin profesjonelle eller private omgangskrets. Bare unntaksvis anvender de tekstbaserte strategier (lesing av andre rettskilder). Ikke-jurister er derfor avhengige av støttefunksjoner for å håndtere juridiske problemstillinger. Slik støtte er imidlertid ujevnt fordelt geografisk og befolkningsmessig. Et annet funn er at de intervjuede opplever en økende rettsliggjøring, og at dette fører til en ny bevissthet om juridiske spørsmål.
English abstract
Legal Literacy in Education. Non-Jurists' Understanding and Application of Legal Texts
Legal texts regulate key aspects of society, and are used as tools for exercising discretion and decision-making in various professional contexts. This paper investigates how the Norwegian Education Act is understood and applied in everyday contexts by school leaders and parent representatives at a Norwegian lower secondary school, as well as school administrators at the municipality level. Through group interviews and using a think-aloud procedure, participants’ experiences and use of legal texts, reading strategies, and reflections on reading legal texts are explored. The study finds that readers with little knowledge of legal texts primarily use social strategies to comprehend the text; i.e., they ask for help in their immediate personal and professional networks. Only rarely do they employ text-based strategies (reading other legal sources). As laypersons, they therefore rely on support and guidance in order to solve legal problems. Such support, however, is unevenly distributed in the population. Furthermore, the interviewees’ experience was that the educational system is characterized by an increasing reliance on legal procedures, leading to a heightened consciousness for legal questions.

Beasiswa Peningkatan Prestasi Akademik (PPA) sebagai salah satu bentuk dukungan pemerintah Republik Indonesia terhadap dunia pendidikan. Beasiswa yang disalurkan oleh pemerintah melalui Perguruan Tinggi yang ada di Indonesia ini, penyeleksian dan penetapan penerimanya sepenuhnya diserahkan kepada pihak Perguruan Tinggi yang bersangkutan. Tahap inilah yang sangat rentan terjadinya kecurangan. Pada objek penelitian  yang diteliti hingga saat ini proses penyeleksian masih dilakukan dengan menggunakan Microsoft Excel, hal ini tentu saja kurang efektif dan efisien, serta rentan akan terjadinya kesalahan bahkan kecurangan. Untuk itu, diperlukan suatu metodologi dan aplikasi yang tepat dalam melakukan penyeleksian penerima beasiswa tersebut. Decision Support System digunakan sebagai solusi untuk melakukan perekomendasian penerima beasiswa, khususnya dengan menggunakan Metode Technique  for  Order  Preference  by  Similarity  to  Ideal  Solution  (TOPSIS)  dan  Analytical  Hierarcy Process (AHP). Penggunaan kombinasi dua metode tersebut dilakukan agar memiliki tingkat akurasi yang baik jika dibandingkan  dengan menggunakan satu metode. Hasilnya,  aplikasi  decision support system dengan penerapan kombinasi metode Topsis dan AHP berhasil di rancang dan di ujicoba, serta sukses dalam perekomendasian penerima beasiswa PPA dengan menghasilkan data alternatif mahasiswa yang terurut mulai dari nilai preferensi yang paling tinggi 0.764 hingga terendah 0.189. Hasil ini dapat menjadi rekomendasi bagi pengambil keputusan dalam mengambil keputusan yang efektik, efisien dan dapat dipertanggung jawabkan.

Household food security is a critical issue for Indonesia, which is investigated in this study. Many of rural household in Indonesia depends on agricultural sectors and facing challenges of global warming that threatening food security and poverty alleviation in the country. We use panel data at the household level for a sample of households living in Central Sulawesi at the rainforest margin in Indonesia. For the purpose of this study, we apply principal component analysis to develop an indicator of food security and used the index in determining the household’s condition to be persistent food secure or insecure. The findings present the fact that over the period the household’s food security in the study area has changed to better food condition. The number of people who are food insecure has declined by 23.73 % over the year. However, the results suggest that public services on health, education and infrastructure need to be strengthened, investments in access to credit and off-farm employment policies, as well as insurance programs on social protection and disaster management, need to be developed.

Odour-induced Taste Enhancement and Consumption of Low-sugar Pastry
Authors: Koubaa Yamen
Published: November 2017

This paper describes a study that tests for the enhancement of low-sugar pastry via olfaction and examines its effects on pastry consumption. Olfactory taste enhancement preserves the nutritional benefits of low-sugar pastry while retaining the pleasure of full-sugar pastry. Willingness to reduce sugar intake and eat healthily is stronger today than at any time before in western societies, and low-sugar pastry can be effective in reducing sugar intake among consumers in these markets. The challenge, however, is that consumers' liking of pastry is driven by the sweet taste pastry eating procures; reducing pastry sugar content makes it healthier but probably less tasty and thus of a low market acceptability. Results from laboratory experiments show that smelling clearly perceivable sugar-associated odour significantly enhances perceived sweetness and pleasantness, and leads to the higher consumption of low-sugar pastry. These findings have implications for pastry makers and retailers as well as for social marketers. Odour-induced taste enhancement enables food makers and retailers to achieve the goals of selling both tasty and healthy pastry. It can be also a vector to promoting healthy pastry by converting the ‘healthy = untasty’ attitude into a ‘healthy and tasty’ attitude.
Identifying the Reasons why Users in China Recommend Bike Apps
Authors: Ma Liang , Zhang Xin , Wang Gao Shan
Published: November 2017

This study examines factors affecting users' intention to recommend bike-sharing apps from the perspective of internal and external benefits perception. Since the end of 2016, bike sharing has suddenly taken off in China, and competition is fierce. Bike-sharing users' intention to recommend bike apps is particularly important as it can help operators attract more potential users. However, little research to date has focused on bike-sharing users' intention to recommend bike apps in the Chinese context. This study aims to fill this research gap using structural equation modelling. Data were collected from 209 bike-sharing app customers and the results show the following key findings: (1) the usefulness of the bike-sharing app is the most important factor contributing to users' intention to recommend, followed by economic incentive and ease of use; (2) users' trust that interacts with perceived ease of use has positive effect on users' intention to recommend, while users' trust that interacts with economic incentive has negative effect on users' intention to recommend. Implications for researchers and practice are discussed.
O INCIDENTE DE DESCONSIDERAÇÃO DA PERSONALIDADE JURÍDICA SEGUNDO O CÓDIGO DE PROCESSO CIVIL DE 2015 E SUA APLICAÇÃO ÀS EXECUÇÕES FISCAIS NA HIPÓTESE DO ARTIGO 135, III DO CÓDIGO TRIBUTÁRIO NACIONAL
Authors: Oliveira Rafael Orlando Gomes de
Published: November 2017

O presente trabalho pretende abordar o instituto da desconsideração da personalidade jurídica, bem como a inovação promovida pelo Código de Processo Civil 2015 consubstanciada na previsão do incidente de desconsideração da personalidade jurídica. Para então, analisar especificamente a aplicabilidade do respectivo incidente às execuções fiscais na hipótese de redirecionamento fundamentada no artigo 135, III do Código Tributário Nacional. Por meio da doutrina especializada e com apoio na análise jurisprudencial, procede-se um estudo comparativo entre o Código de Processo Civil de 2015, Código Tributário Nacional e Lei de Execução Fiscal, levando-se em conta a notória natureza jurídica diferenciada da ação de cobrança do crédito público. Portanto, em que pese à importância da nova previsão normativa que processualiza a desconsideração da personalidade jurídica no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro, a pesquisa aponta que a responsabilidade insculpida no artigo 135, III do Código Tributário não é hipótese de desconsideração da personalidade jurídica e o novo incidente deve ser afastado do âmbito das execuções fiscais.

Published: November 2017

El objetivo del presente trabajo es identificar las barreras, facilitadores y motivos para la práctica de actividad física y deporte en las personas con discapacidad intelectual, considerando el sexo, la carga de entrenamiento y la ocupación de los participantes. En el estudio han participado 23 deportistas con discapacidad intelectual, a los que se ha aplicado un cuestionario en forma de entrevista. Se ha utilizado estadística descriptiva y pruebas no-paramétricas para la comparación de grupos. Los resultados indican que las principales barreras están relacionadas con el tiempo de desplazamiento al lugar de entrenamiento; los principales facilitadores están relacionados con el apoyo del entorno del deportista; los principales motivos para la práctica están relacionados con mejorar la salud y con factores sociales. Considerando las variables independientes se han encontrado algunas diferencias estadísticamente significativas. Los hombres perciben que ducharse en las instalaciones es una barrera; los deportistas con más carga de entrenamiento perciben el desplazamiento como una barrera; y el apoyo de los padres es un facilitador para los deportistas que trabajan. En base a los resultados se presentan implicaciones a nivel teórico y a nivel práctico como ayuda para mejorar la práctica deportiva en las personas con discapacidad intelectual.

Authors: García-Gómez Saleky , Pérez-Tejero Javier , Ocete Carmen , Barakat Rubén
Published: November 2017

The aim of the study was to assess the structure and content validity of a home-based exercise program, as an instrument to prevent of shoulder pain (SP) in wheelchair basketball players. The proposed program was designed considering previous studies but to be applied in this specific population and; it was composed by exercises based on active mobility (4 exercises), strengthening (5 exercises) and stretching (5 exercises) of the shoulder joint. An ad hoc questionnaire was administered to a convenience sample of 9 experts (1 rehabilitation physician,1 sport physician, 4 physiotherapists and 3 coaches) that fulfilled the defined inclusion criteria. The results showed that experts considered the shoulder home-based exercise program (SHEP) as adequate tool for SP prevention in WB; however, some experts suggested some changes to improve it. According to the qualitative analysis performed, findings revealed two main underlying factors such as “design” (content and structure) and “application” that could influence in the adequate use of the home-based exercise program. This study provided evidence that the presentedhome-based exercise program is a validate tool and could be a powerful tool to prevent shoulder pain in WB player’s population.

Authors: Alcaraz Ibáñez Manuel , Cren Chiminazzo João Guilherme , Sicilia Álvaro , Teixeira Fernandes Paula
Published: November 2017

This study examined the psychometric properties of the Body Appreciation Scale-2 (BAS-2) in Brazilian adolescents. The sample was comprised of 438 boys (Mage = 15.50, SDage = 1.20) and 402 girls (M = 15.51, SDage = 1.18). Confirmatory factor analyses supported a one-dimensional and partially invariant across-gender and weight status factor structure. The instrument showed adequate internal consistency and temporal stability over a two-week period. Body appreciation was negatively correlated with social physique anxiety and body mass index in both boys and girls. After controlling for social physique anxiety, body appreciation was positively and significantly correlated with life satisfaction in both genders. Significantly higher levels of body appreciation scores were found in men compared to women (d = .48) as well as in underweight and normoweight adolescents compared to the overweight and obese adolescents (d = .50). These findings suggest that the BAS-2 is a valid and reliable instrument to assess body appreciation in Brazilian adolescents. The BAS-2 could be useful for attaining a deeper insight into positive body image research as well as for improving clinical practice in the Brazilian context.

Published: November 2017

La inclusión de estudiantes con discapacidad en educación física (EF) está influida directamente por la actitud que los compañeros presentan al respecto, siendo necesario contar con herramientas válidas y fiables para evaluar dicha actitud. El objetivo de este estudio fue crear y analizar las propiedades psicométricas de un instrumento para medir la actitud hacia la inclusión de alumnado con discapacidad en clases de EF, en el que participaron 609 estudiantes de EF, de 14 a 19 años. Se realizaron cuatro análisis factoriales exploratorios (AFE) y un análisis factorial confirmatorio (AFC). Se analizaron las propiedades psicométricas de la escala y su relación con cuatro variables socio-demográficas. La fiabilidad del componente cognitivo estuvo por debajo de lo recomendado y el AFE no apoyó un modelo formado por dos dimensiones de la actitud. Se obtuvo una medida unidimensional con cuatro ítems del componente conductual. La Escala de Actitudes del Alumnado hacia la Discapacidad en Educación Física (EAADEF) reveló excelentes índices de ajuste en el AFC, y se reveló invariante respecto a las variables socio-demográficas. También se encontraron valores altos de consistencia interna de los ítems y del constructo de actitud (≥.77). Esta escala ofrece una nueva solución a algunas limitaciones reveladas en instrumentos de medida anteriores.
Relación entre el sentido de coherencia y el cansancio emocional en estudiantes universitarios. / Relationship between sense of coherence and emotional exhaustion in university students.
Authors: Fernández-Martínez Elena , Liébana-Presa Cristina , Morán Astorga Consuelo
Published: November 2017

RESUMENEl sentido de coherencia conduce a evaluar las circunstancias de la vida como significativas, predecibles y manejables por lo que está considerando como una fuente que reduce el estrés y promociona la vida saludable. Por otro lado, las múltiples demandas que se plantean a los estudiantes en su periodo universitario pueden desencadenar estrés. Con este estudio hemos querido averiguar si el sentido de coherencia está relacionado con el cansancio emocional. Los participantes fueron 960 estudiantes universitarios (muestreo accidental), siendo el 81% mujeres. Respondieron a dos cuestionarios de autoinforme (el Cuestionario de Sentido de Coherencia SOC-13 y la Escala de Cansancio Emocional ECE). Se realizaron análisis de correlación y la prueba t de Student para averiguar las diferencias entre grupos. Las mujeres puntúan más alto que los hombres en cansancio emocional y los alumnos de tercero presentan mayores niveles de sentido de coherencia que los de primer curso. Los estudiantes con niveles altos de sentido de coherencia poseen niveles bajos de cansancio emocional, por lo que sería conveniente diseñar y poner en marcha estrategias para aumentar el sentido de coherencia disminuyendo así el cansancio emocional.ABSTRACTThe sense of coherence helps us view life events as significant, predictable, and manageable and it is thus thought to reduce stress and promote health. In contrast, the multiple demands faced by university students can trigger stress. In this study, we aimed to determine if the sense of coherence was related to emotional exhaustion. Participants were 960 university students (convenience sampling), 81% were women. They completed two self-report questionnaires: the SOC-13 Sense of Coherence Questionnaire and the Emotional Exhaustion Scale. We did correlation analyses and the Student’s t test to detect differences between groups. Women scored higher than men in emotional exhaustion. The third year students achieved higher scores in sense of coherence than first year students. Students with high scores in sense of coherence showed low levels of emotional exhaustion. These results indicate that it would be useful to design and implement strategies that help increase the sense of coherence and therefore reduce emotional exhaustion in university students.

Published: November 2017

Egundaino ezagunak diren drogak, heroina kasu, legez kanpo daude eta haien eraginak ezagunak dira. 2005. urtetik hona, ehunka droga berri jarri dira merkatuan eta gehienen egitura kimikoa ezaguna bada ere, kasu askotan hori da haiei buruz dugun informazio guztia. Droga horiek sintetizatzen dituzten laborategi klandestinoen helburua ohiko drogen eragina imitatzea da, baina eragin ezezaguneko substantziak ekoizten dituzte. Eraginak ez ezik profil toxikologikoa edo dosi hilgarria ere ezezagunak izaten dira, saldu aurretik ikertu gabeko substantziak izaten baitira. Hala ere, eragin eta toxikologia ezezaguneko substantziak izanik, substantzia horietariko gehienen salmenta ez dago legez kanpo, ezta kontrolpean ere. Egun bizi dugun iraultza teknologikoak, Internet dela medio, substantzia berri horien merkaturatzea errazten du gainera.

Near Repeat Space-Time Patterns of Canadian Crime
Authors: Emeno Karla , Bennell Craig
Published: November 2017

Previous research has found that targets located in close proximity to previously victimized targets are at an increased risk of also being victimized. However, this elevated risk of near repeat victimization appears to be temporary and subsides over time. Near repeat victimization has rarely been examined using Canadian data, and exact space-time patterns have been shown to vary by location. Thus, the current study helps to address a gap in the research by determining the exact near repeat space-time clustering of three crime types (burglary, theft from a motor vehicle [TFMV], and common assault) across three Canadian cities (Edmonton, Alberta; Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan; and Saint John, New Brunswick). The results demonstrate significant near repeat space-time clustering for Edmonton burglary, Edmonton TFMV, and Saint John TFMV, with the exact space-time pattern varying from one data file to the next. The implications of these results, as well as some limitations and directions for future research, are discussed.
Will Rogers Is Jenksing Police Response Times
Authors: Demers Simon
Published: November 2017

Because police jurisdictions typically rely on different call classification schemes and handle a different mix of calls, it is difficult to compare multi-priority police response time distributions between two or more jurisdictions. For the same reasons, it can be challenging to compare response time trends over time, even within a given police jurisdiction. Hypothetical examples illustrate the main analytical challenges. Then, a simple clustering approach, the Jenks natural breaks method, is demonstrated. This approach can be used to objectively compare police response time distributions. The resulting comparisons remain unaffected by differences or changes in call classification rules and cannot be easily manipulated or skewed, either intentionally or inadvertently. Although the discussion is framed within a police context, the proposed analytical approach has the potential to be useful for other emergency services and benchmarking settings.
High temperature tensile behavior of Mg-2Al and Mg-6Al alloys

Published: November 2017

Effects of 2 and 6 wt.% Al additions on the high temperature tensile behavior of Mg were investigated. Elongation-to-failure tensile tests were conducted at four temperatures (300, 350, 400, and 450 °C) and two strain rates (10−
2 and 10−3 s−1) to study tensile ductility. Strain-rate-change tensile tests were conducted at the same temperatures over a strain-rate range of 5 × 10−5–2 × 10−2 s−1. The experimental data show that the coarse-grained alloys exhibit elongations of about 100% at 450 °C and 10−3 s−1, and the Mg-6Al alloy presents a significant elongation improvement at 400 and 450 °C. Compared with pure Mg, Al additions of 2 and 6 wt.% effectively reduce the stress exponent, which decreases with increasing Al content. The reduced stress exponents may result from solute-drag creep created by Al atoms released from dissolution of Mg17Al12 phase at high temperatures.
Hydrogen sorption and corrosion properties of La2Ni9CoSn0.2alloy
Authors: Giza Krystyna , Adamczyk Lidia , Drulis Henryk , Hackemer Alicja
Published: November 2017

The hydrogenation and corrosion behaviour of La2Ni9 · CoSn0.2alloy was analysed in respect of its use in Ni–MH batteries. It has been proved that the presence of tin in the alloy causes a decrease in hydrogen equilibrium pressure. In the electrochemical studies several techniques, such as chronopotentiometry, multi-potential steps, linear sweep voltammetry and the potentiokinetic polarization were applied to characterize the electrochemical properties of a La2Ni9CoSn0.2powder composite electrode. During long cycling, powder particles undergo micro-cracking or other forms of surface development causing a progressive increase in the exchange current density of the H2O/H2system, but, on the other hand, this increase favours corrosion processes such as the electrode material's oxidation. This is also reflected in the capacity loss values.

Published: November 2017

A solid-state route was developed to prepare rhombohedral phase Mg2SiNi3 with the dimensions of about 300 nm by using metallic magnesium, nickel oxide and silicon as starting materials at 700 °C in an autoclave reactor. The obtained product was investigated by means of X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Magnetic measurement at room temperature indicated that the values of saturation magenetization and coercivity of the obtained Mg2SiNi3 were 0.31 emu g–1 and 65.20 Oe, respectively.
