Classical equilibrium molecular dynamics(MD) simulations have been performed to investigate dynamical properties of cage radial breathing modes and intra- and inter-cage hydrogen migration in both pure hydrogen and mixed ...
A new dynamical closed-loop method is proposed to control dielectric charging in capacitive MEMS positioners/ varactors for enhanced reliability and robustness. Instead of adjusting the magnitude of the control voltage to ...
Extensive equilibrium molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have been performed to investigate thermal conduction mechanisms via the Green-Kubo approach for (type II) hydrogen hydrate, at 0.05 kbar and between 30 and 250 K, ...
The photoactivity of both un-doped and carbon-doped titanium dioxide (TiO2) coatings has been widely reported. In this paper, the use of a microwave plasma as a novel oxidation treatment for the fabrication of these coatings ...
Accurate determination of shear wave arrival time using bender elements may be severely affected by a combination of near field effects and reflected waves. These may mask the first arrival of the shear wave, making its ...
The potential of solar water heating systems to reduce domestic energy use is frequently acknowledged.
However there are two factors that are rarely discussed when studying this technology. Firstly the real
performance ...
This article gives a brief description of the Degenerate Unmixing Estimation Technique (DUET) and applies it in a geophysical setting. Source separation has not been fully
addressed by geophysicists and is a crucial first ...
A thermal response test (TRT) is a controlled insitu test during which a known quantity of heat energy is injected into a closed loop heat-exchanger pipe while the heat dissipation rate into the surrounding ground is ...
A new model of deep brain stimulation is presented that integrates volume conduction effects with a neural model of pathological beta-band oscillations in the cortico-basal ganglia network. The model is used to test the ...
Digital control of power converters has been an area of considerable research interest in recent times. One of the problems which arises in these systems is that of the limit cycle oscillations that occur due to quantization ...
