We computed the flow of four gases (He, N 2, CO 2, and SF 6) through a critical nozzle by augmenting traditional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) with a rate

We present a simple model to describe the induction of magnetic behavior on gold clusters upon chemisorption of one organic molecule with different chemical

We are developing an instrument, the Geometry Measuring Machine (GEMM), to measure the profile errors of aspheric and free form optical surfaces, which require
This paper presents a method for constructing uncertainty regions for a vector measurand in the presence of both type-A and type-B errors. The method is based

Through this study the most important questions and problems associated with nano-tips and their possible applications to SEMs were investigated. These were
The n-qubit concurrence canonical decomposition (CCD) is a generalization of the two-qubit canonical decomposition SU(4)=[SU(2) (x) SU(2)] ? [SU(2) (x) SU(2)]

There is considerable interest in the phase behavior of multi-component polymer mixtures, the so-called polymer blends, due to their broad technological
Small angle neutron scattering (SANS) is used with the high concentration method to extract single particle scattering from single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs)

This study investigates the formation of low-density, flat-lying decanethiol chemisorbed on Au prepared by heating the surface covered with a densely-packed
The signals obtained from two wideband conical sensors were compared in the time, frequency and the time/frequency domains. The signals were generated by pencil
We compare three approaches for quantifying uncertainty using a measurement equation: the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Guide to the
