Emerging wireless infrastructure such as WiFi and Bluetooth networks make possible mobile applications that allow employees to carry out business computing tasks while not at a fixed computer and while at varying locations. ...

This paper presents analysis of electromagnetic and elastodynamic waves propagating through a doubly periodic array of cylindrical channels in oblique incidence. A new method, based on a multipole scattering approach, has ...

Fuzzy discrete-event systems as a generalization of (crisp) discrete-event systems have been introduced in order that it is possible to effectively represent uncertainty, imprecision, and vagueness arising from the dynamic ...

Implantation with low-energy (80 keV) oxygen ions and subsequent rapid thermal annealing at 800 ◦C are used to induce intermixing in a stack of 19 ZnO/Zn0.7Mg0.3O multiple quantum wells grown on sapphire by molecular beam ...

The influence of spherical nanoindentation on the band edge and deep level emission of single crystal c-axis ZnO has been studied by cathodoluminescence (CL) spectroscopy and monochromatic imaging. Excitonic emission is ...

N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPA) homopolymers having carboxylic acid-end groups were synthesized by using mercaptoacetic acid (MAA) as the chain transfer agent. Polymerization was achieved in ethanol using azobisisobutyronitrile ...
