This study provides a tool by means of which a road planner, usually a civil engineer, can achieve a durable infrastructure of high quality, acceptable to all parties concerned. The various elements which facilitate the work of planning are united into a m ...
We analyze the electronic properties of quantum wires with a Z-like profile within four-band models for the valence band of a semiconductor of diamond and zinc blende type. Group-theoretical considerations show that the valence-band structure is doubly deg ...
Clear observations of early triggering of neo-classical tearing modes by sawteeth with long quiescent periods have motivated recent efforts to control, and in particular destabilize, sawteeth. One successful approach explored in TCV utilizes electron cyclo ...
This paper reviews deposition, integration, and device fabrication of PbZrxTi1-xO3 (PZT) films for applications in micro-electromechanical systems. An ultrasonic micromotor is described as an example. A summary of the published data on piezoelectric proper ...
The fluctuations around the average throughput delivered by simple production system were investigated using a fluid modeling approach. A special consideration is paid to the buffered production dipole for which an explicit estimation for an stationary var ...
The conventional treatment for the cure of esophageal cancer is surgical resection. Esophageal cancer, when detected at an early stage, has a very good probability of being eradicated by less aggressive procedures, and photodynamic therapy has proven to be ...
This paper deals with the conceptual design of a decision aid function for restoration (DAFFOR) of transmission networks after major black-outs, and in particular with real time considerations. Some important characteristics of the proposed DAFFOR are: (a) ...
A phase diagram based on dielectric-permittivity-versus-temperature measurements and high-temperature X-ray diffractometry was proposed for 0.4Pb(Ni-1/3,Nb-1/3) O-3-xPbZrO(3)-(0.6-x)PbTiO3, (0.2 less than or equal to x less than or equal to 0.32) relaxor-f ...
The pinch analysis method is a useful tool for the energy integration of industrial processes (structuring and simplification using simple guidelines). The pinch analysis method, extended to include exergy factors, falls within the framework of a global mu ...
Multiple images were recorded in DuPont HRF-150 photopolymer as transmission holograms by using angle multiplexing. Agreement with Kogelnik's two-wave diffraction theory for phase gratings, the time considerations and its effect on dynamic range, the neces ...
