Ice-shelf flexure modelling was performed using a 2D finite-difference elastic model, which takes into account sub-ice-shelf seawater flux. The sub-ice seawater flux was described by the continuity equation linked with the linear Euler equation. In the model ice shelf flexures re...
In depth discussion of thermodynamics of a familiar system made of a room, a heater and a window reveals the rich complexity underlying the deceptively simple assumption of local thermodynamic equilibrium. It displays also the failure of available approaches to non-equilibrium th...
Aims: The Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) absorption study of atomic hydrogen is an useful tool that offers perhaps the first direct experimental method to study the distribution of local ring structures in glasses and in other amorphous materials. Study Design: In the pres...
The Knoop microhardness anisotropy profile was determined on the (001) of MgF2 which has microhardness maxima in the <110> and minima in the <100>. This anisotropy is the same as TiO2 and SnO2 which also have the rutile crystal structure. This indicates that the slip...
High performance top contact organic thin-film transistors (TC OTFTs) with bilayer electrodes (MoO3/Au) are fabricated. The interface properties of metal electrodes with organic active layer have an important effect on the OTFTs performance. We demonstrate the MoO3 layer is worki...
Most of the researches on strengthening so far had been focused on rectangular reinforced concrete (RC) beams. Researches on strengthening of RC T-beams are rather limited. This study focuses on the application of carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminate for strengthening...
In this paper, we analyze the conception, the realization, and the characterization of a photovoltaic system (PV) equipped by a DC/DC buck converter and an analogical MPPT controller provided with detection circuit of dysfunction and convergence of the system (CDCS). We demonstra...
Historically, the algebra of random variables has been a discipline of interest to statisticians. On the other hand, in the last ve decades special functions and numerical tools have become largely available, implying other scientists to apply results regarding this area of knowl...
Surface modification with kinematics-driven reaction on uniform and well-ordered Octadecylphosphonic acid (OPA) Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) on aluminium (Al) oxide surface is reported and few of its mechanical properties using different surface analysis techniques are characterized. T...
