COUPLING AND SHIELDING PROPERTIES OF THE BAFFLE IN ICP SYSTEM

Coupling and Shielding Properties of the Baffle in ICP System

This contribution is dealing with experimental and computational evaluation of the deposition baffle that is transparent to radio frequency (RF) magnetic fields generated by an external antenna in an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) source but opaque to the deposition of the metal onto a dielectric wall in ionized physical vapor deposition (IPVD) s

Profit efficiency in family-owned crop farms in Eastern Cape Province of South Africa: a translog profit function approach

Abstract Background Farm productivity on smallholder family-owned crop farms remains low despite several interventions to transform agriculture especially in developing countries.Farmers in rural areas face serious constraints that impede their productive capacities for the principal dietary staple, notably maize.Smallholder farmers have access to

Effects of Wintering Environment and Parasite-Pathogen Interactions on Honey Bee Colony Loss in North Temperate Regions.

Extreme winter losses of honey bee colonies are a major threat to beekeeping but the combinations of factors underlying colony loss remain debatable.We monitored colonies in two environments (colonies wintered indoors or outdoors) and characterized the effects of two parasitic mites, seven viruses, and Nosema on honey bee Buzz Cup colony mortality
