Could electrical conductivity replace water level in rating curves for alpine streams?

Marc Parlange, Steven Vincent Weijs, Raphaël Mutzner

Streamflow time series are important for inference and understanding of the hydrological processes in alpine watersheds. Because streamflow is expensive to continuously measure directly, it is usually derived from measured water levels, using a rating curv ...

Ferroelectric ceramic tunability in transversely oriented static and transient electric fields

Alexander Tagantsev

The dielectric tunability of ferroelectric ceramics in the paraelectric phase is studied theoretically for the case where the dc bias electric field is orthogonal to the ac electric field of a signal. Results are obtained in the most general form and then ...

Direct current breakdown in gases for complex geometries from high vacuum to atmospheric pressure

Christoph Hollenstein, Alan Howling, Ralph Schnyder

The demand for improved performances of power transmission devices requires ever smaller dimensions and higher working voltages which lead to increased risk of breakdown, for example, in satellite slip rings. Previous works are mostly limited to breakdown ...
