A CMOS fully integrated quadrature signal generator for on-chip impedance spectroscopy (IS) applications is presented. Frequency can be digitally tuned from 5 to 350 kHz with 12-bit resolution. Power consumption is 0.77 mW and active area is 0.129 mm2. Its suitability for the target application is validated with a Randles test impedance cell modelling a protein.

An efficient solution to increase the sustainability of building materials is to replace Portland cement with alkali-activated materials (AAM). Precursors for those systems are often based on water-cooled ground granulated blast furnace slags (GGBFS). Quenching of blast furnace slag can be done also by air but in that case, the final product is crystalline and with a very low reactivity. The present study aimed to evaluate the cementitious properties of a mechanically activated (MCA) air-cooled blast furnace slag (ACBFS) used as a precursor in sodium silicate alkali-activated systems. The unreactive ACBFS was processed in a planetary ball mill and its cementing performances were compared with an alkali-activated water-cooled GGBFS. Mixes based on mechanically activated ACBFS reached the 7-days compressive strength of 35 MPa and the 28-days compressive strength 45 MPa. The GGBFS-based samples showed generally higher compressive strength values.

The work deals with possibilities using of glassy slag produced during the combustion of biomass in construction. This is a waste product with glass characteristic, which may also contain ash and other pollutants. This waste is significantly different according to the used types of biomass, soil, temperature and time of combustion. Its structure is mostly porous and glassy. Building materials in which may be applied are cementitious or alkali-activated composites in which can appear in due to its nature as a filler or binder. In the paper the basic characteristics with the focus on use of this slag as a coarse aggregate were examined.

Abstract. Currently, Yttria-stabilized zirconia solid state electrolyte are widely used in various fields . The basic performance of Yttria-stabilized zirconia (5YSZ) prepared by different synthesis methods and sintering temperatures are studied in this paper ,their phase compositions and microstructure are studied with XRD and SEM. The ionic conductivity of 5YSZ sintered at different temperature are studied with A.C. impedance spectroscopy measurement.
