Some applications of nuclear orientation by Nambudripad, N, Nambudripad, Narayanan

“…Mixing ratio (δ) measurements for gamma-ray transitions between the (K^π = 2⁺) γ-vibrational and (K^π = 0⁺) ground state rotational bands of the daughter nucleus ¹⁶⁶Er showed that Ml transition probabilities are predominantly via ΔK = 1 band mixing which is in good agreement with systematics for deformed nuclei in this mass region.…”

Phase/amplitude estimation for tuning and monitoring by Gyongy, I

“…Schemes are devised for the tracking and control of the second mode of measurementtube oscillation alongside the so-called 'driven mode', at which the tubes are usually vibrated, leading to useful information being made available for measurement correction purposes.…”

Bond behaviour of deformed steel rebars in steel fibre high- strength self-compacting concrete by Nelly Majain

“…Phase 1 involves the design of concrete mixes and the testing of fresh and mechanical properties of the normal vibrates concrete (NVC), HSSCC and SFHSSCC. The steel fibres used in SFHSSCC , Were the hooked-end type with 35 mm length and an aspect ratio of 63.6. …”
