Sol-Gel Synthesis of Palladium-Doped Silica Nanocomposite Fiber Using Triton X-100 Micelle Template and the Application for Hydrogen Gas Sensing

Palladium-doped silica nanocomposites were synthesized via a sol-gel technique combined with a template of Triton X-100 micelle. The freshly prepared sol sample of Pd-doped silica nanocomposites was investigated by TEM. Determined from the TEM image, the sizes of the Pd nanoparticles are narrowly distributed, which are around 30 nm in diameter. The prepared sol solution of the sample was injected into a Tygon Microbore Autoanalysis tubing. After 14 days gelatinization, a transparent porous optical fiber was obtained. The response of the fiber to hydrogen gas was tested by using a fiber-optic spectrometric method. The palladium-doped silica nanocomposite fiber is sensitive upon exposure to hydrogen gas and the response is reversible. This palladium-doped silica nanocomposite fiber can be applied as a new kind of hydrogen gas sensor     

Web-based systems design: a study of contemporary practices and an explanatory framework based on “method-in-action”

This paper reports the findings of a detailed study of Web-based systems design (WBSD) practices in Ireland based on data collected over a 3-year period (2002–2005), the objectives of which were to (1) contribute towards a richer understanding of the current “real-world” context of WBSD by characterising the profile of a typical project (team size, timeframe, nature of requirements, etc.) and identifying the key challenges, constraints, and imperatives (i.e. “mediating factors”) faced by Web-based system designers, and (2) understand how those contextual parameters and mediating factors influence the activity of WBSD as regards the selection and enactment of whatever design practices are therefore engaged (i.e. the use of methods, procedures, etc.). Data was gathered through a survey which yielded 165 usable responses, and later through a series of semi-structured qualitative interviews. Using grounded theory, an explanatory conceptual framework is derived, based on an extension of the “method-in-action” model, the application of which to WBSD has not been previously investigated in depth. It is proposed that this framework of WBSD issues is valuable in a number of ways to educators, researchers, practitioners, and method engineers.     

Synthesis, characteristics and oxygen-sensitive properties of SrMgxTi 1 − xO3 nanocrystals

SrMg_xTi_{1 - x}O₃ nanocrystals (x = 0.1–0.6) were synthesized by the stearic acid gel method. Powder samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron (XP) spectroscopy. The results showed that the lattice parameter a and the O 1s XP spectrum changed not only with the Mg content x but also with the grain size d of the samples. The conductivity of a thick film specimen fabricated on an aluminium oxide wafer was investigated in a nitrogen—oxygen atmosphere.
