Comparison between bulk and thin foil ion irradiation of ultra high purity Fe

Accumulation of radiation damage in ultra high purity iron under self ion irradiation without and with simultaneous He implantation was investigated in bulk and thin foil form to assess, on the one hand, the effect of free surfaces and, on the other hand, ...

Granular suspension avalanches. I. Macro-viscous behavior

Christophe Ancey, Nicolas Andreini, Gaël Epely Chauvin

We experimentally studied the flow behavior of a fixed volume of granular suspension, initially contained in a reservoir and released down an inclined flume. Here “granular suspension” refers to a suspension of non-Brownian particles in a viscous fluid. De ...

Exact and heuristic methods to solve the berth allocation problem in bulk ports

Michel Bierlaire, Ilaria Vacca, Nitish Umang

While significant contributions have been made in the use of operations research methods and techniques to optimize container terminals, relatively less attention has been directed to bulk ports. In this paper, we consider the problem of allocating vessels ...

A branch-and-price algorithm to solve the integrated berth allocation and yard assignment problem in bulk ports

Michel Bierlaire, Tomas Robenek, Nitish Umang

In this research, two crucial optimization problems of berth allocation and yard assignment in the context of bulk ports are studied. We discuss how these problems are interrelated and can be combined and solved as a single large scale optimization problem ...

Surface and bulk reactions in borohydrides and amides

Shunsuke Kato, Elsa Callini

Complex hydrides such as LiBH4 and LiNH2 exceed the gravimetric hydrogen density of transition metal hydrides by one order of magnitude. However, hydrogen in complex hydrides is covalently bound and arranged in subunits e.g. [NH2]- and [BH4] - with a fixed ...

High-resolution imaging of solvation structures with amplitude-modulation atomic force microscopy

Kislon Voitchovsky, Maria Ricci

At the interface with solids, liquid molecules tend to adopt a particular structural arrangement, which depends on the local interplay of forces between the solid and the liquid. As a result, this interfacial liquid does not behave like bulk liquid, often ...

Nonlinear Light Scattering and Spectroscopy of Particles and Droplets in Liquids

Sylvie Roke

Nano -and microparticles have optical, structural, and chemical properties that differ from both their building blocks and the bulk materials themselves. These different physical and chemical properties are induced by the high surface-to-volume ratio. As a ...

Fabrication of polycrystalline (Y0.7Gd0.3)(2)O-3:Eu3+ ceramics: The influence of initial pressure and sintering temperature on its morphology and photoluminescence activity

Barbora Bártová

Nanocrystalline (Y0.7Gd0.3)(2)O-3 powder, synthetised via polymer complex solution method, was compacted into 25 pellets applying high pressures (173-867 MPa) for 30 s that were subsequently sintered at different temperatures (800-1400 degrees C) for 18 h. ...

Flexoelectric effect in finite samples

Alexander Tagantsev

Static flexoelectric effect in a finite sample of a solid is addressed in terms of phenomenological theory for the case of a thin plate subjected to bending. It has been shown that despite an explicit asymmetry inherent to the bulk constitutive electromech ...

Accelerated ageing and degradation in poly-L-lactide/hydroxyapatite nanocomposites

Pierre-Etienne Bourban, John Christopher Plummer, Claire Diane Delabarde

Dry, compression molded films of medical grade poly-L-lactide (PLLA) showed a marked reduction in tensile strength and strain after accelerated ageing in aqueous NaOH at 50 degrees C. accompanied by mass loss, surface erosion, increased hydrophilicity and, ...
