There is a real need for methods to allow the measurement of the form and deformation of large objects. For example, for maintenance and production costs as well as for security. Even though there are many methods of measuring the form and deformation of s ...
Good quality ab initio calcns. (MP2) show that the water adducts of BX3 and CX3+ have totally different structures (X = F-I). While all H2O-BX3 complexes have classical Cs sym. structures with strong B-O bonds and addnl. H-bonding, the heavier CX3+ cations ...
In industrial applications, the controlled adjustment (trimming) of resistive elements via the application of high voltage pulses is a promising technique, with several advantages with respect to more classical approaches such as the laser cutting method. ...
Lead oxide based ferroelectrics, represented by lead zirconate titanate (Pb(Zr,Ti)O-3) or PZT) are the most widely used materials for piezoelectric actuators, sensors and transducers due to their excellent piezoelectric properties. Considering lead toxicit ...
Nowadays, multilevel VSIs (Voltage Source Inverter) begin to be widely used in middle and high power installations such as variable speed drives, FACTS (Flexible AC Transmission System) and windformers for example. In these systems, 2 VSIs are put back to ...
The present paper proposes a model of relaxer ferroelectrics, which describes the polarization response of these materials in terms of vibration of the interphase boundary between the polar regions and nonpolar matrix. The model is formulated and is applie ...
We construct atomistic models of the Si(100)-SiO2 interface in accord with available experimental data. Combining classical and first-principles simulation methods, we generate transition structures from crystalline silicon to disordered SiO2. The generati ...
This paper shows our efforts in comunication in oredr to increase the student number in the classical section of electrical engineering. In the field of Power Electronics, aquired know-howw is presented to the students by using electronic and computer tool ...
ENO filters are developed and compared with classical ENO schemes, TVD filters, and classical TVD schemes. The amplitude of the numerical dissipation provided by the filtering pass is computed by means of the artificial compression method (ACM) switch and ...
The estimation of cumulative distributions is classically performed using the empirical distribution function. This estimator has excellent properties but is lacking continuity. Smooth versions of the empirical distribution function have been obtained by k ...
