Study of grain alignment efficiency and a distance estimate for small globule CB4

High textured (Bi,Pb)2Sr2Ca2Cu3Ox ceramics have been fabricated by aligning deflocculated flakes of (Bi,Pb)2Sr2Ca2Cu3Ox suspended in an organic medium by means of a high de magnetic field (6 T) at room temperature followed by cold isostatic pressing. The proportion of the (Bi,Pb)2Sr2Ca2Cu3Ox phase in the precursor powder was carefully controlled, and the characteristics of the powder, such as size distribution and morphology, were determined. A high degree of grain alignment was found in the specimens after the magnetic alignment, although the bulk density of the materials was low. Cold isostatic pressing substantially increased the density of the magnetically prealigned specimens which also resulted in a slight decrease in the degree of grain alignment. This minor realignment was found to be due to the various kinds of processing defects that appeared in the specimens during compaction due to the grinding and cracking of the grains and their interlocking. The microstructural and superconducting properties of the sintered ceramic have been studied using texture goniometry, high resolution scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, ac magnetic susceptometry, and critical current measurements.

Principal Directions

The degree of preferred orientation of hornblende in two boudinage structures is analyzed by means of an X-ray texture goniometer. Relative values of reflected intensity for {110} are plotted on the stereographic net, and contoured at convenient intervals. As in conventional fabric diagrams for hornblende, {110} define a great-circle girdle whose breadth reveals the density of unimodal grouping of [001].The density of grouping of [001] varies throughout both boudinage structures. It decreases with increasing extension in structure A, and seems to have a similar trend in structure B, where the determined variation in degree of grain alignment is of doubtful statistical significance.The inverse relationship between the degree of preferred orientation and the magnitude of extension may be attributed to rotation of the principal directions of finite strain during syntectonic crystallization. Alternatively, reorientation of strained grains by annealing recrystallization may have produced the inverse trend.

Fine Grain

This papers presents an experience of specifying and implementing an XML format for text to image alignment at word and character level within the TEI framework. The format in question is a supplementary markup layer applied to heterogeneous transcriptions of medieval Latin and French manuscripts encoded using different “flavors” of the TEI (normalized for critical editions, diplomatic or palaeographic transcriptions). One of the problems that had to be solved was identifying “non-alignable” spans in various kinds of transcriptions. Originally designed in the framework of a research project on the ontology of letter-forms in medieval Latin and vernacular (mostly French) manuscripts and inscriptions, this format can be of use for all kinds of projects that involve fine-grain alignment of transcriptions with zones on digital images.
