In this paper we study microstrips with rectangular and rounded edge cross sections. A hybrid quasistatic method is applied and the effective permittivity and the attenuation constant of the microstrip are found. Instead of the dielectric constant of the substrate an ideational one is used that depends on the geometry and the frequency. The attenuation constant for the rectangular microstrip was found to be in good agreement with values given in the literature. A microstrip with a rounded edge cross section has a smaller attenuation constant due to the conductor than that of a microstrip with a rectangular crosssection. Thus, a rounded edge microstrip is preferred because it will give an appreciable effect in reducing the ohmic losses of the line.

A variational method is presented for determining fully developed velocity and temperature distributions for laminar flow in noncircular ducts. The heat addition to the fluid is taken to be uniform in the axial direction, but a variety of thermal boundary conditions are considered around the periphery of the duct cross section. Several illustrative examples are given, and comparisons are made which show good agreement with available exact solutions. These examples include ducts of rectangular and circular-sector cross sections.

The total photoelectric cross-sections in the elements gadolinium, dysprosium, erbium, lutetium, tantalum, tungsten, gold, and lead have been obtained by using the normal transmission experiments, and the results are reported. Using these total photoelectric cross sections, we have found the K-shell photoelectric cross sections, the K-jump ratios, and the total-to-K-shell photoelectric cross-section ratios at the K edges for the above elements. These values are compared with the available theoretical and experimental values. The results are in good agreement with the Storm and Israel results and the Scofield theoretical values, within the limits of experimental uncertainties. Furthermore, the variation of the total-to-K-shell photoelectric cross-section ratio with energy and atomic number is discussed.

Abstract The results of tests of the brittleness of ebonite are described. Resilience is influenced chiefly by the moment of inertia of the cross section of the test-specimen, but it seems also to be affected by the form of the specimen. The state of vulcanization has considerable influence on these mechanical properties within the undercured range, but with thorough vulcanization the state of cure plays no appreciable part. Notching of test-specimens is not of great importance. It diminishes the resilience, but when the tests are compared on a basis of equal moments of inertia of the resistant cross sections, this diminution becomes inappreciable in the case of brittle ebonites. On the other hand, the shape of the notch in ebonites containing no loading ingredients does influence the resilience. With V-shaped notches, the depth of the notch and its angle of aperture influence considerably the resilience of this latter type of ebonite, and notches of minimum depth are sufficient to have an appreciable effect.

Measurements of the σ10 cross section for a beam of Ar+ ions of energies between 30 and 120 keV passing through a thin target of the rare gases show good agreement with the few previous measurements in this energy region.

This paper deals with the problem of eigenfrequencies and eigenvectors for rings whose cross section may be decomposed in basic rectangular cross sections. The solution is derived from a solution of the in-plane eigenvalue problem for rectangular cross-section thick rings. A good agreement between theoretical results and experimental data is obtained.

Abstract. Knowledge of molecular photolysis cross sections is important for determining atmospheric lifetimes and fates of many species. A method and laser apparatus for measurement of these cross sections in the near-ultraviolet (UV) region is described. The technique is based on action spectroscopy, where the yield of a photodissociation product (in this case OH) is measured as a function of excitation energy. For compounds yielding OH, this method can be used to measure near-UV photodissociation cross section as low as 10−23 cm2 molecule−1. The method is applied to determine the photodissociation cross sections for methyl hydroperoxide (CH3OOH; MHP) and hydroxymethyl hydroperoxide (HOCH2OOH; HMHP) in the 305–365 nm wavelength range. The measured cross sections are in good agreement with previous measurements of absorption cross sections.

Studies on the cross-sections of (n,n[Formula: see text]) reactions which are energetically possible, about 14 MeV neutrons are quite scarce. In this paper, the cross-sections of (n,n[Formula: see text] nuclear reactions at [Formula: see text]14–15 MeV are analyzed by using a new empirical formula based on the statistical theory. We show that neutron cross-sections are closely related to the [Formula: see text]-value of nuclear reaction, in particular for (n,n[Formula: see text]) channels. Results obtained with this empirical formula show good agreement with the available measured cross-section values. We hope that the estimations on the cross-sections using the present formalism may be helpful in future studies in this field.

A detailed description is given of a technique in which emissions from H and H2 are used to calibrate an apparatus used for electron-impact emission cross-section measurements in the wavelength range 90–130 nm. Absolute emission cross sections have been measured at 200 eV electron-impact energy for the 120 nm N I line following dissociative excitation of N2 and for the Ar and Ar+ lines at 104.8, 106.7, 92.0, and 93.8 nm respectively. Good agreement with earlier works is obtained in the case of the N I line when earlier data are renormalized to take into account the recent revision of the cross section for production of Lyman α from H2. Measurements of the 104.8 and 106.7 nm lines suggest a 40% cascade component for the latter line at energies of 200 eV and above.

The Bradbury-Nielsen time-of-flight method has been used to measure electron drift velocities at 573 K in pure mercury vapour, a mixture of 46�80% helium-53� 20% mercury vapour and a mixture of 9�37% nitrogen-90� 63% mercury vapour. The E/N and pressure ranges used were O� 2 to 1� 5 Td and 5�4 to 15�2 kPa for pure mercury vapour, 0 �08 to 3�0 Td and 5 �40 to 26�88kPa for the mixture containing helium and 0�06 to 5�0Td and 3�33 to 16�67kPa for the mixture containing nitrogen. It is shown that the use of mixtures significantly reduces the dependence of the measured drift velocity on the pressure, due to the effect of mercury dimers, from that measured in pure mercury vapour. An iterative procedure to derive the momentum transfer cross section for electrons in mercury vapour over the range 0�04 to 4 eV with an uncertainty between �5 and 10% is described. It is concluded that previously published momentum transfer cross sections for mercury vapour derived from drift velocity data are significantly in error, due to diffusion effects and the procedure used to correct for the influence of dimers. The present cross section is in good agreement with the semi-empirical calculations of Walker (personal communication).

<sub></sub> In this paper we present our calculation of the cross section ionization by electron impact of C V, N VI and O VII. Using the Flexible Atomic Code (FAC), we obtain the cross sections for the ionization of these ions from the ground state 1<sup>1</sup>S, and from the unstable states 2<sup>1</sup>S and 2<sup>3</sup>S. Our results are in good agreement with those based on the Coulomb Born (CB) approximation and the available measurements.
