ABRASION RESISTANCE OF A NB3SN MAGNETRON-SPUTTERED COATING ON COPPER SUBSTRATES FOR RADIO FREQUENCY SUPERCONDUCTING CAVITIES

Abrasion resistance of a Nb3Sn magnetron-sputtered coating on copper substrates for radio frequency superconducting cavities

The paper presents the first study of the abrasion resistance and degradation processes of magnetron-sputtered Nb3Sn coatings on electropolished (EP) or chemical polished (CP) copper substrates.The coating-substrate system is of interest for application in radio frequency superconducting cavities as an improvement on bulk niobium cavities.The micro

High genomic diversity in the endangered East Greenland Svalbard Barents Sea stock of bowhead whales (Balaena mysticetus)

Abstract The East Greenland-Svalbard-Barents Sea (EGSB) bowhead whale stock (Balaena mysticetus) was hunted to near extinction and remains Endangered on the International Union of Conservation of Nature Red List.The intense, temporally extensive hunting pressure may have left the population vulnerable to other perturbations, such as environmental c

Metallic staples line mimicking a retained surgical sponge

The inadvertent loss of surgical sponges remains a dreadful hazard of surgery.We report the case of a patient with a medical history of myotonic dystrophy type 1 who had received Shipping-Fee a right upper lobectomy for the treatment of a stage IIA (pT1N1M0) well differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma.In the early postoperative period, aspiration
