ABSTRACTThe demand on energy consumption is ever increasing, making it necessary to develop appropriate materials that can help maintain consumption levels. Windows in a [...]

Metallic glass was rst reported in 1960 by rapid quenching of Au-Si alloys. But, due to the size limitation, this material did not attract remarkable interest until the d[...]

Indoor thermal environmental conditions play a significant role in protecting occupants’ well-being. In this regard, schedule-based and predefined environmental control i[...]

The exploration of a group of new 2D materials, such as graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides, has become the hottest research of interest in recent years. With t[...]

Colloidal semiconducting quantum dots (QDs) are ideal candidates for optoelectronic devices such as solar cells and LEDs because of their high photoluminescence (PL) quan[...]

We evaluate the statistical relationship between ENSO state and global seasonal temperature and precipitation, creating and analyzing maps of the linear correlation betwe[...]

In this work, a two-dimensional finite element model of orthogonal machining ofAISI 1045 steel is developed using the commercial non-linear finite element packageABAQUS. [...]

Spotting by firebrands is the only mechanism that is capable of initiating fires miles from a fire line. The firebrand phenomenon can be understood in three major sequent[...]

In this work, the influence of electric fields and atmospheric plasma on the behavior of an ultrafast femtosecond laser beam is being studied. A femtosecond laser pulse h[...]

Electric load forecasting, as a basic requirement for the decision-making in power utilities, has been improved in various aspects in the past decades. Many factors may a[...]
