Homogenous aSi1−xAlxHy alloyed thin films, made by magnetron sputtering, has been found to exhibit tunable band gap and dielectric constant depending on their composition. The optical properties of alloys are largely defined ...

The problem of sequencing and scheduling airplanes landing and taking off on a runway is under consideration. We propose a new family of valid inequalities which are obtained from the study of the single machine scheduling ...

The international maritime industry is on a current wave of digitalization and there is a dire need to enable an effective prediction of the different digital solutions, especially in terms of international implementation ...

Refrigeration systems are often installed in industrial facilities where the difference between the peak and average thermal loads can be considerable due to the throughput of products and changes in the ambient conditions ...

Fish swimming performance is strongly influenced by flow hydrodynamics, but little is known about the relation between fine-scale fish movements and hydrodynamics based on in-situ investigations. In the presented study, ...

Microdosimetry is a particularly powerful method to estimate the relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of any mixed radiation field. This is particularly convenient for therapeutic heavy ion therapy (HIT) beams, referring ...

Monitoring of perfluorocarbon (PFC) evolution from aluminium smelting is gaining attention, not only because of their high greenhouse gas potentials but also due to process optimization purposes. Conventionally, PFC ...

The aim of this study was to develop and validate a method using inertial measurements units (IMUs) to determine inner-cycle parameters (e.g., cycle, poles and skis contact, and swing time) and the main sub-techniques ...

This study presents a validation study of an approximated model of the European power system in 2014. A lightweight and open-source power-flow tool is used for this study. The tool and the model are publicly available and ...
