Scanning electron microscopy results reveal differences in the pitting distribution and appearance suggesting that the improvement in the corrosion resistance arises from the change in the surface chemical composition due to the formation of a Si-rich region and oxynitride layer.
However, there were no significant differences in the pitting depths and loss of yield force of steel in coarse sand specimens CS2 and CM1 than in fine sand specimens FS2 and FM1.
Major differences are present in the pit transition potential (Eptp), in that the potential shifts to more negative values with increasing number of passes in all series.
By applying the LBP operator to I T we obtain the LBP image I L. Fig. 7 shows the differences between the pit regions in I T, the pit regions in I T after applying the LBP variant as used in [17], and the same regions after transforming I T using the LBP operator based on block averaging and adaptive thresholding.
The Cl/Fr strain, which has been studied using 2D morphometric methods, shows shape differences primarily in the nasal pit (Parsons et al., 2008; Young et al., 2007).
Despite the potential importance of this region-wide shift in forest microtopography on ecosystem structure and function, the differences in pit and mound size, distribution, and longevity between second-growth and old-growth forests are unexplored.
However, a significant difference between the PIT and PSIT groups was observed in the third pollen season (0.24 ± 0.13 versus 0.46 ± 0.24, p = 0.026, respectively).
There was a significant difference in the pH of rock pools, earth wells, agricultural wells, animal foot prints, and quarry pits.
But what a difference to hear a similarly complex Verdi score with James Levine in the pit.
Halfpenny et al. [19] were able to identify dislocations of different character on {110} faces of PETN crystals from differences in observed etch pit depth.
