Coaxial electrospinning core-shell fibers for self-healing scratch on coatings

Polystyrene (PS) fibers with core-shell structure were prepared by coaxial electrostatic spinning using liquid epoxy or curing agent as the core and PS solution as the shell. Scratch self-healing coatings were realized by using the healant-loaded core-shell fibers in the matrix.

Effect of flame-sprayed Al–12Si coatings on the failure behaviour of pressurized fibre-reinforced composite tubes

Internal pressurization testing at room temperature was performed to evaluate the effect of flame-spraying aluminum-12silicon on the leakage behavior of fibre-reinforced composite tubes fabricated by filament winding, and covered with garnet sand. A group of specimens were completely coated with flame-sprayed metal particles and another set remained uncoated. t-tests were conducted at a significance level of α = 0.05 to analyze the effect of the coating on the leakage behavior of the specimens. Ultraviolet imaging was used to illustrate a characteristic leakage pattern of the composite tubes. Coated specimens exhibited slightly higher mean leakage and burst pressures than the uncoated specimens. The t-test results provided strong statistical evidence that the flame spraying process employed did not damage the filament wound tubes covered with garnet sand.     

Mathematical modeling of electromagnetic wave propagation in heterogeneous lossy coaxial cables with variable cross section

In this work, we focus on the time-domain simulation of the propagation of electromagnetic waves in non-homogeneous lossy coaxial cables. The full 3D Maxwell equations, that described the propagation of current and electric potential in such cables, are classically not tackled directly, but instead a 1D scalar model known as the telegraphist's model is used. We aim at justifying, by means of asymptotic analysis, a time-domain “homogenized” telegraphist's model. This model, which includes a nonlocal in time operator, is obtained via asymptotic analysis, for a lossy coaxial cable whose cross section is not homogeneous.

Structural,chemical, and electrical properties of Y2O3 thin films grown by atomic layer deposition with an (iPrCp)2Y(iPr-amd) precursor

Y₂O₃ thin films were grown by atomic layer deposition (ALD) through a heteroleptic liquid (iPrCp)₂Y(iPr-amd) precursor at 350 °C. The structural and chemical properties of both as-deposited and annealed Y₂O₃ films at 500 °C and 700 °C are analyzed by atomic force microscopy for variation in surface roughness, X-ray diffraction for crystalline structure, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy for chemical states. The as-deposited Y₂O₃ film shows the same crystalline orientation along the plane (222), a stoichiometric state, and minimal hydroxylate formation up to 700 °C. Being the dielectric layer in the metal-oxide-semiconductor capacitor, the as-deposited ALD-Y₂O₃ films with liquid (iPrCp)₂Y(iPr-amd) precursor without any post-deposition annealing show the much lower leakage density than ALD-Y₂O₃ with solid Y(MeCp)₃.     

A nature-inspired firefly algorithm based approach for nanoscale leakage optimal RTL structure

Optimization of leakage power is essential for nanoscale CMOS (nano-CMOS) technology based integrated circuits for numerous reasons, including improving battery life of the system in which they are used as well as enhancing reliability. Leakage optimization at an early stage of the design cycle such as the register-transfer level (RTL) or architectural level provides more degrees of freedom to design engineers and ensures that the design is optimized at higher levels before proceeding to the next and more detailed phases of the design cycle. In this paper, an RTL optimization approach is presented that targets leakage-power optimization while performing simultaneous scheduling, allocation and binding. The optimization approach uses a nature-inspired firefly algorithm so that large digital integrated circuits can be effectively handled without convergence issues. The firefly algorithm optimizes the cost of leakage delay product (LDP) under various resource constraints. As a specific example, gate-oxide leakage is optimized using a 45 nm CMOS dual-oxide based pre-characterized datapath library. Experimental results over various architectural level benchmark integrated circuits show that average leakage optimization of 90% can be obtained. For a comparative perspective, an integer linear programming (ILP) based algorithm is also presented and it is observed that the firefly algorithm is as accurate as ILP while converging much faster. To the best of the authors׳ knowledge, this is the first ever paper that applies firefly based algorithms for RTL optimization.     

A new first-principles approach for the catenary

This paper reports on findings relating to catenaries since the publication in Expositiones Mathematicae of Denzler and Hinz’s pioneering 1999 paper, Catenaria Vera – the True Catenary. New governing differential equations and explicit solutions are derived for the catenary in positive and negative radial potentials with physical constants incorporated in the derivations. In keeping with precedent by Denzler and Hinz, a measure of historical perspective is offered as homage to Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, Christiaan Huygens and Johann Bernoulli, the original first-solvers of the catenary.
