We present useful expressions predicting the filling time of gaseous species inside photonic crystal fibers. Based on the theory of diffusion, this gas-filling model can be applied to any given fiber geometry or length by calculating diffusion coefficients ...
Flood quantile estimation is of great importance for several types of engineering studies and policy decisions. However, practitioners must often deal with the limited availability of data and with short-length observation series. Thus, the information mus ...
The charge carrier mobility in the transport channel of an organic transistor is estimated within the framework of a trap-and-release model. The model accounts for the observed dependence of the mobility on the dielectric constant "epsilon" of the gate ins ...
Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 ceramics with homogenous, anisotropic porosity were manufactured and the influence of the anisotropic porosity on the dielectric and piezoelectric properties was studied. Image analysis allowed the quantification of the preferential orientation ...
We report on electrical resistivity measurements of the anti ferromagne tic CeCoGe2.1Si0.9 Kondo lattice under hydrostatic pressures, P similar to 11 kbar. Pressure induces a quantum critical point (QCP) at P-C approximate to 6.2 kbar. Around the QCP, the ...
The extension of the likelihood method of Süveges (Extremes, 2007) is presented. The extension allows for finding independent clusters of extreme events and determining the range of dependence on extremal levels, and estimate clustering characteristic of t ...
Structural reliability is a hurdle for the large-scale commercialisation of solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC). The cells are prone to cracking, due to the brittleness of their constitutive materials. In operation, the failure of one of them can arise from the n ...
We recently observed periods of intermittent 2:1 atrial capture in the human left atrium (LA), preceded by atrial repolarization alternans during pacing-induced atrial tachycardia (PIAT). The mechanism involved in resumption of 1:1 atrial capture remains u ...
Near-lattice-matched GaN/AlInN multiple quantum wells (MQWs) are investigated by means of the diamond anvil cell high-pressure technique. The hydrostatic pressure dependence of the photoluminescence dE(PL)/dp and the variation in the PL peak energy with th ...
Crack-tip behaviour in metals is among the most basic problems in mechanics of materials. Yet, long-standing experimental evidence suggests that crack-tip twinning in face-centred-cubic (f.c.c.) metals is highly dependent on the material, temperature and l ...
