Lanca, M. C., C. J. Dias, D. K. Dasgupta, J. Marat-Mendes, and Ieee Ieee Comparative study of dielectric relaxation spectra of electrically and thermally aged low density polyethylene., 2003. AbstractWebsite

Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) films were thermally aged in a sodium chloride aqueous solution at constant temperature (thermal aging). Some of the samples were simultaneously immersed in solution and subjected to an electric AC field (electrical aging). The dielectric relaxation spectra at 30 degreesC in the range of 10(-5) Hz to 10(5) Hz were obtained for unaged and aged samples. For the low frequency (LF) region (10(-5) Hz to 10(-1) Hz) the time domain technique was used. A lock-in amplifier was used for the 10(-1) Hz to 10(1) Hz medium frequency (MF) region. While for the high frequency (HF), 10(-1) Hz to 10(5) Hz, RLC bridge measurements were performed. The main differences can be seen between electrically, thermally aged and unaged LDPE in the HF and LF regions. The LF peak is a broad peak related to localized space charge injection driven by the electric field. For electrically aged samples this peak increases in an earlier stage of electrical aging, decreasing afterwards. While in thermally aged samples the peak amplitude always increases with aging time. Finally the HF shows the beginning of a peak due to the gamma and beta transitions. This peak decreases with aging disappearing for the most aged samples.

Monitoring systems have traditionally been developed with rigid objectives and functionalities, and tied to specific languages, libraries and run-time environments. There is a need for more flexible monitoring systems which can be easily adapted to distinct requirements. On-line monitoring has been considered as increasingly important for observation and control of a distributed application. In this paper we discuss monitoring interfaces and architectures which support more extensible monitoring and control services. We describe our work on the development of a distributed monitoring infrastructure, and illustrate how it eases the implementation of a complex distributed debugging architecture. We also discuss several issues concerning support for tool interoperability and illustrate how the cooperation among multiple concurrent tools can ease the task of distributed debugging.
{Cruz Duarte}, A. R., M. M. {Mooijer-Van Den Heuvel}, C. M. M. Duarte, and C. J. Peters. "{Measurement and modelling of bubble and dew points in the binary systems carbon dioxide + cyclobutanone and propane + cyclobutanone}." Fluid Phase Equilibria. 214 (2003): 121-136. Abstract

The fluid phase behaviour for the binary systems carbon dioxide+cyclobutanone and propane+cyclobutanone has been determined experimentally, using Cailletet equipment. For both the systems bubble points have been determined for a number of isopleths covering the whole mole fraction range. Additionally, for the binary system carbon dioxide+cyclobutanone dew points and critical points could be observed for a number of overall-compositions rich in carbon dioxide. The temperature and pressure range were, respectively, from 278 to 369K and from 0.1 to 14.0MPa. Correlation of the experimental data of both systems has been performed using the Soave-Redlich-Kwong (SRK) equation of state. Satisfactory results have been achieved using only one binary interaction parameter. © 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
