Using a stable pseudospectral multi-domain method we investigate the dynamics of localized wavefields in the extended derivative nonlinear Schrodinger equation, with particular emphasis on the critical mass and structure of the initial conditions that prom ...
Air conditioning unit for vehicle which is compact and economical, while ensuring simplification of the combination of means for controlling the temperature of different elements of the vehicle. The unit comprises a fan which supplies two conduits placed p ...
The paper discusses an experimental demonstration of Bloch oscillations connected with Bragg reflection of electrons from the first miniband edge in superlattices of different silicon carbide polytypes. The original experimental method was geared towards o ...
Aligned nickel wire bundles 4 to 5 cm in length and up to 2.5 cm in diameter are infiltrated by pure aluminum using gas-assisted infiltration, to produce samples having global compositions in the range of 40 to 76 at, pet nickel. As-reacted sample macrostr ...
The mechanisms of carrier transfer from barrier regions (superlattices, side-wall and vertical quantum wells) into arrays of quantum wires are investigated by time-resolved photoluminescence. The wires are grown by different techniques on V-groove substrat ...
A summary of a comprehensive experimental study on flow boiling heat transfer is presented for five refrigerants (R134a, R123, R402A, R404A and R502) evaporating inside plain horizontal, copper tube test sections. The test data were obtained for both 12.00 ...
In the first part of this work a comprehensive model of the continuous hardening of 3D-axisymmetric steel components by induction heating has been developed. In the model, the Maxwell and heat flow equations are solved using a mixed numerical formulation : ...
We study the dissipative thermodynamics of vortex lines in layered superconductors within a simple string model in the dilute limit of negligible vortex interactions and compute the specific heat C-upsilon in the presence of arbitrary dissipation. The inte ...
A review with 29 refs. of lab.-scale investigations carried out on the usefulness of biol. heat-release measurements, as a means for monitoring and controlling the metabolic state of microbial cultures. Such studies are carried out in high-quality bench-sc ...
A comprehensive micro-macroscopic model of the continuous hardening of 3d-axisymmetric steel components by induction heating has been developed. At the macroscopic scale, the Maxwell and heat flow equations are solved using a mixed numerical formulation : ...
