Simulated data to study different scenarios of irrigation at farm level, in ...
We produced these sets of simulated data in order to study different scenarios of irrigation at farm level. These scenarios combined different choices concerning rainfed or... -
A Method of Measuring Antioxidant Capacity
In a previous experiment (RB910492) we have made preliminary measurements of the rates of addition of muonium to vitamins C and E, as suggested by the ISIS panel. These rates... -
Studies of Free Radical Final States on Au nanoparticles by RF-muSR and ALC S...
Small-sized metal nanoparticles (NPs) are of long standing interest to both magnetism and heterogeneous catalysis. Recent µSR studies of bare Au NPs encapsulated in mesoporous... -
Energy dependent, sample transmission correction for time-of-flight diffracti...
Diffraction from hydrogenous materials is complicated by the large incoherent scattering contribution from hydrogen. For many materials the solution is to deuterate before... -
Rates of Molecular Transfer Across Interfacial Layers Using µSR
The first direct measurements of the rate of transfer of a probe molecule across an interfacial layer have been made at PSI, using TF and ALC-MuSR. This application for beamtime... -
CO2 adsorption selectivity in microporous MOF's based on Cu2 paddle-wheels
Metal-organic framework (MOF) materials are a kind of inorganic-organic hybrid materials with a open modular molecular architecture. Such a modularity opens a plethora of... -
Neutron Scattering and Structural Measurements of CO2 and CD4 Adsorption in M...
Shale is an increasingly viable source of economic quantities of natural gas worldwide. Most of the gas is contained within the fine pores, thus characterizing accessibility and... -
Novel Anti-Oxidant Mechanisms 3: Extending the Gamut to Lycopene, THC and Mel...
We propose to determine the possibility for H-addition occurring in the natural anti-oxidants lycopene, melatonin and Delta9-THC, by ALC-muSR on the HiFi instrument. Our... -
Probing of hydride phase formation of Pd nanoclusters embedded in the NH2-UiO...
With this proposal, we would like to investigate a material that could be used as a catalyst for hydrogenation reactions. A catalyst acts to increase the rate of a reaction by... -
Magnetic Fluctuations in BaCo2As2
ACo2As2 (A=Ba, Sr, Ca) are end members of Co doped Ba-122 family. Understanding the magnetic behavior of these end members can help us to understand the magnetic properties of... -
Neutron reflectometry of an atopic dermatitis stratum corneum skin model
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition affecting up to 20% of children and 3% of adults, resulting in significant reduction in quality of life and costs... -
In-situ Formation of Fast Lithium Conducting garnets via low temperature sol-...
Increasing global population, global warming and depletion of fossil fuels have resulted in a growing need for better energy storage. Lithium-ion batteries are promising devices... -
Magnetic field diffraction study of Gd2Ti2O7
We propose a study of the magnetic structure of isotopically enriched Gd2Ti2O7. We have successfully grown and characterised large single crystals using low-absorption 160Gd. In... -
Critical evidence for/against FLPs in metal oxides: Does H2 split on In2O3 Na...
The critical evidence for/against FLPs in metal oxides is to establish wheter an adsorbed H2 molecule becomes dissociated across adjacent In and O sites on the surface. To probe... -
Bose-Einstein Condensation in solid helium confined in porous media
We propose measurements of the Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) fraction n0 of solid helium confined in porous media. A superfluid fraction in solid helium in Vycor, in aerogel... -
Determination of the detection limits and quantitative analysis reliability o...
Neutron diffraction offers one of the most interesting and meaningful methods for non destructive quantitative determination of the phase composition of materials. However, it... -
A Study of AuMu^+ Final States by Dia RF Resonance
Small-sized metal nanoparticles (NPs) are of long standing interest to both magnetism and heterogeneous catalysis. Recent muSR studies of Au NPs encapsulated in mesoporous... -
Self-assembling antimicrobial peptides: interactions with model lipid membranes
We propose to investigate antimicrobial peptides that self-assemble into well-defined nanostructures. Previous SAXS results have shown that the peptides form rather robust... -
Tunable algebraic correlations and Kasteleyn transition in kagome ice
We propose to continue our search for the Kasteleyn transition in the kagome ice phase of the spin ice Ho2Ti2O7. The experiment requires the applied magnetic field to be... -
