Experimental Electronuclear Setup at the Institute of Theoretical and Experimental Physics

The purpose and current construction status, at the Institute of Theoretical and Experimental Physics, of an experimental electronuclear setup, combining a pulsed proton linear accelerator (36 MeV, 0.5 mA) and a subcritical blanket thermal-power assembly 100 kW, are discussed. The main equipment is already available or is being built in industry. The setup can be used to investigate the dynamics of the interaction of a linac–driver and a subcritical reactor and problems concerning the accelerator–driver and the target–blanket assembly. The proton beams and neutron fluxes will be used for applied purposes. In the future it will be possible to increase substantially the current and energy of the proton beam.     

The structure and properties of a Cr<Subscript>3</Subscript>C<Subscript>2</Subscript>-Ni coating deposited by a high-velocity plasma jet onto a copper substrate

Chromium carbide-nickel coatings were deposited onto a technical grade copper substrate by means of a high-velocity plasma jet of a plasmatron operating in specially selected regimes. An analysis of the coatings showed evidence of the formation of a Ni-based solid solution, a complex chromium carbide (Cr₇C₃), and an fcc crystal phase with a lattice parameter of 3.614 Å. The surface of the coatings exhibits a characteristic relief resulting from a dynamic interaction between melted and fused particles of the initial powder. The local hardness on some areas of the surface and in depth of the coating reaches 66±4.5 HRC, while the coating adhesion strength varies from 25 to 300 MPa.     

Trellis and convolutional precoding for transmitter-based interference presubtraction

This paper studies the combination of practical trellis and convolution codes with Tomlinson-Harashima precoding (THP) for the presubtraction of multiuser interference that is known at the transmitter but not known at the receiver. It is well known that a straightforward application of THP suffers power, modulo, and shaping losses. This paper proposes generalizations of THP that recover some of these losses. At a high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), the precoding loss is dominated by the shaping loss, which is about 1.53 dB. To recover shaping loss, a trellis-shaping technique is developed that takes into account the knowledge of a noncausal interfering sequence, rather than just the instantaneous interference. At rates of 2 and 3 bits per transmission, trellis shaping is shown to be able to recover almost all of the 1.53-dB shaping loss. At a low SNR, the precoding loss is dominated by power and modulo losses, which can be as large as 3-4 dB. To recover these losses, a technique that incorporates partial interference presubtraction (PIP) within convolutional decoding is developed. At rates of 0.5 and 0.25 bits per transmission, PIP is able to recover 1-1.5 dB of the power loss. For intermediate SNR channels, a combination of the two schemes is shown to recover both power and shaping losses.     

Study of thermal effects and self-heating phenomena in planar power SOI MOS transistors

Heat removal problems, thermal effects, and self-heating phenomena occurring during operation of planar power SOI MOS transistors are considered. Using device-technological simulating methods, the transistor characteristics and safe operation range were studied. It was shown that limitations of the safe operation range are mostly associated with structure self-heating rather than with the parasitic bipolar transistor.

A new efficient method for one‐pot conversions of aryl carboxylic acids into nitriles without solvent

A new efficient method for synthesising nitriles, important organic reagents, is reported in this paper. In an environmentally benign solvent‐free system, aryl carboxylic acids were converted into the corresponding nitriles via one‐pot reactions, by amidation with ethyl carbamate followed by dehydration with thionyl chloride, in excellent yields. The results showed that the method has the advantages of lower cost, higher yield, less pollution and greater ease of work‐up. Copyright © 2008 Society of Chemical Industry

Structure and properties of CE/CTBN/EP blends: II. Effect of EP on the mechanical properties and thermostability of the CE/CTBN system

Carboxyl‐terminated butadiene‐acrylonitrile rubber (CTBN) has often been used to improve the toughness of cyanate ester (CE) resin while sacrificing modulus and thermostability. In this paper, the addition of the appropriate amount of epoxy resin (EP) to the CE/CTBN system is shown to not only increase the modulus and thermostability of the blend, but also improve the toughness. The values of impact strength showed a maximum for the CE/CTBN/EP 100/5/5 blend. The temperature of 10 % weight loss (T₁₀) improves from 376 °C for CE/CTBN 100/5 to 407 °C for the CE/CTBN/EP 100/5/2.5 blend. It is proposed that addition of the appropriate amount of EP can decrease the mobility and increase the stability of CTBN via the reaction between the terminal carboxyl group of CTBN and the hydroxyl group of EP. But a very high EP concentration will decrease the crosslinking density of CE, consequently reducing the mechanical properties and thermostability of the blends.
