Among materials being introduced in the aerospace industry, the carbon fibre reinforced plastics (CFRP) have a place of privilege because of their exceptional stiffness-to-mass ratio. However, the polymer-based matrix is vulnerable to damages by environmen ...
A new series connected 25 T hybrid magnet system is being set up by the Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin (HZB) for neutron scattering experiments. CRPP has designed and manufactured a pair of 20 kA current leads for the powering of the outer superconducting coils ...
Holographic gratings are recorded in colloidal suspensions of silver nanoparticles by utilizing interfering nanosecond pulses. The diffraction efficiency is measured with continuous-wave light. An instantaneous response together with a transient grating ar ...
Background: After a stroke, patients show significant modifications of neural control of movement, such as abnormal muscle co-activation, and reduced selectivity and modulation of muscle activity. Nonetheless, results reported in literature do not allow to ...
A new laser micro-spot welding procedure for copper has been developed in order to eliminate the shortcomings of existing techniques based on laser pulse shaping or in-situ temperature control. This procedure consists in dividing the welding process in fou ...
In this paper, a mixed numerical-experimental identification procedure for characterising the storage and loss properties in sandwich structures with a relatively stiff core is developed. At the computational level, the proposed method is based upon an ori ...
The colloidal stability of dry and suspended carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in the presence of amphiphilic compounds (i.e. natural organic matter or surfactants) at environmentally realistic concentrations was investigated over several days. The suspensions were ...
Aerobic granular sludge is a promising alternative to traditional activated sludge basins in wastewater treatment plants (WWTP). Granular sludge has much better settling characteristics than activated sludge. Furthermore it can remove carbon, nitrogen and ...
We demonstrate that single-variable integrate-and-fire models can quantitatively capture the dynamics of a physiologically-detailed model for fast-spiking cortical neurons. Through a systematic set of approximations, we reduce the conductance based model t ...
A program profile attributes run-time costs to portions of a program's execution. Most profiling systems suffer from two major deficiencies: first, they only apportion simple metrics, such as execution frequency or elapsed time to static, syntactic units, ...
