Doped tin dioxide electrodes have been prepared by a standard spray pyrolysis technique. The electrochemical behaviour of these electrodes has been investigated by cyclic voltammetry in sulphuric acid using the Fe2+/Fe3+ redox couple system as test reaction. Oxygen evolution has…

Shoe lasts are the moulds used in the footwear industries in order to mount the shoe. Most of the machines used in the sector to make lasts are simply mechanical copiers. CAD/CAM systems have just arrived to the shoe last…

The decreasing costs and increasing availability of electronic products of all kinds, including mobile phones, audio and video equipment, and personal computers and their accessories, coupled with advances in technology that rapidly make these products obsolete, foretell a growing disposal…

An approximation scheme to obtain the period for large amplitude oscillations of a simple pendulum is analysed and discussed. The analytical approximate formula for the period is the same as that suggested by Hite (2005 Phys. Teach. 43 290), but…

There is considerable interest in real-world formation-maintenance tasks, where robots move together while maintaining a geometric shape. This interest is motivated by promise of robustly and efficiently moving multiple robots along a path, guided by a human operator. This paper…

The templated growth of polyaniline through porous sol–gel films on ITO substrates has been performed. The polyaniline–silica composites have been synthesized by electrochemical reactive insertion in potentiodynamic and potentiostatic conditions. When the polymer is synthesized by potential step experiments, the…

Having Systemic Functional Linguistics as a framework, I will pay attention to the different rhetorical devices (repetitions, exclamations, enumerations, etc.) in the speech 'I have a dream', of the great pacifist, Martin Luther King. This analysis will show how these…

The electrochemical oxidation of serine and alanine was performed at Pt(100) and Pt(110) electrodes and analysed by means of FTIR spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. The open circuit adsorption of both amino acids was also investigated. The oxidation of serine gives…

Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and Fourier transform infrared reflection-absorption spectroscopy (FT-IRRAS) have been combined to analyse the oxidation of methylamine and ethylamine on platinum single crystal electrodes in an acidic medium. The oxidation of both amines on Pt(hkl) electrodes gives rise…
