Fractal-TRIDYN (F-TRIDYN) is a modified version of the widely used Monte Carlo, Binary Collision Approximation code TRIDYN that has been upgraded to include an explicit model of surface roughness and additional output modes ...

Introgression of broadbase germplasm to improve the elite maize (Zea mays L.) single cross B73 x Mo17H was considered. Genetic parameters in a (B73 x B Composite) F2 x (Mo17H x A Composite) F2 Design II and a (B73(B73 x B ...

Analysis of swelling kinetics is also possible with the assumption that the rate of swelling is proportional to the square of the amount of water that the gel has to absorb from the solution. This assumption produces a ...

A cerebral aneurysm is a condition where a defect protrudes out the arterial wall, and which is formed due among other reasons to abnormal high hemodynamic stresses that contribute to deterioration and dilation of the blood ...

The increasing demand of applications in polymer industry requires new or improved combinations of material properties, which cannot be satisfied by few polymers alone. There has therefore been scientific and industrial ...

Electrically injected photonic crystal light emitters with spatially localized gain are explored with the goal of understanding the optical and electrical characteristics of these devices from theoretical and experimental ...

The development of optical interconnects and optical communication has enabled high-speed, energy-efficient and reliable data transmission in supercomputers and communication networks. Nowadays, with the improvement in ...

Since their commercialization by Sony two decades ago, Li-ion batteries have only experienced mild improvement in energy and power performance, which remains one of the main hurdles for their widespread implementation in ...

In order to help unravel the mysteries surrounding the superconducting and pseudogap states in the high-Tc cuprates, we have measured the electronic transport properties of underdoped, high-Tc nanowires and nanostructures. ...

Photovoltaic (PV) technology holds great promises to become one of the renewable alternatives that can eventually replace the depleting fossil fuel reserves. Challenges, however, remain in various disciplines to achieve a ...
