Zirconia stabilized by addition of bismuth oxide was prepared by co precipitation process from metal oxide chlorides using sodium hydroxide. The dried gels produced pure phase ZrO2-Bi2O3 powders on calcination at 800ºC for the co precipitated powders. The phase evolution was stud...
This research was basically on assessing the focus levels of images from tin ball samples as an ideal test. The results and method used for the ideal test sample was then applied to real datasets of samples like the canine kidney cells that have been infected with influenza virus...
