Application Of Vibrational Techniques In Determination Of Dynamic Properties Of Agricultural Products-State Of The Arton Of Vibrational Techniques In Determination Of Dynamic Properties Of Agricultural Products-State Of The Art, Silas Kajuna Dec 1999

Application Of Vibrational Techniques In Determination Of Dynamic Properties Of Agricultural Products-State Of The Arton Of Vibrational Techniques In Determination Of Dynamic Properties Of Agricultural Products-State Of The Art, Silas Kajuna

Tanzania Journal of Engineering and Technology (TJET)

Vibration is one of the techniques employed in the determination of dynamic properties of fruits and vegetables. It entails generation of a mechanical or acoustic vibrational signal which is propagated through the flesh of the agricultural material. A transducer is either attached or held close to the specimen to monitor the propagation of the signal through the specimen. The manner in which the signal is transmitted through the material is analyzed, and the dynamic properties of the specimen which relate to its firmness or its internal being are derived. The technique has been around for the past 30 years or …


Hydrogenation Effects On Trap Related Conduction In Diamond, Linwood Cleveland Watkins Iii Apr 1990

Hydrogenation Effects On Trap Related Conduction In Diamond, Linwood Cleveland Watkins Iii

Electrical & Computer Engineering Theses & Dissertations

In this research work, the results of an experimental investigation on the electrical conduction mechanism in type Ιa and Ilb diamonds are presented. These results are compared with those of previous theoretical studies. The basic physical properties of diamond are discussed. Details of ohmic contact formation on diamond are presented.

The current-voltage characteristics revealed the presence of traps located below the Fermi level. The unfilled trap density was determined. The deep traps were further studied using spectroscopic photoconductivity measurements and the trap energy levels were determined.

The effects of hydrogenation on trap related conduction were studied subsequently. Hydrogenation was carried …
