Development of Magnetostrictive Transducer Prototype for Blockage Detection on Molten Salt Pipes [PDF]
, 2018 In solar thermal power plants molten salt is often used to store and transport the energy that is collected during the day. The external pipe temperature is measured to activate an electric heating system if the temperature approaches the melting point ...

Bow hull-form optimization in waves of a 66,000 DWT bulk carrier
International Journal of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering, 2017 This paper uses optimization techniques to obtain bow hull form of a 66,000 DWT bulk carrier in calm water and in waves. Parametric modification functions of SAC and section shape of DLWL are used for hull form variation.

Synapse elimination and learning rules co-regulated by MHC class I H2-Db. [PDF]
, 2014 The formation of precise connections between retina and lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) involves the activity-dependent elimination of some synapses, with strengthening and retention of others. Here we show that the major histocompatibility complex (MHC)

Swimming Speeds of Waving Cylindrical Tails in Viscous Fluids with Resistance
, 2015 Many microorganisms swim in a highly heterogeneous environment with obstacles such as fibers or polymers. To better understand how this environment affects microorganism swimming, we study propulsion of a cylinder or filament in a fluid with a sparse ...

Perfect absorption of water waves by linear or nonlinear critical coupling
, 2018 We report on experiments of perfect absorption for surface gravity waves impinging a wall structured by a subwavelength resonator. By tuning the geometry of the resonator, a balance is achieved between the radiation damping and the intrinsic viscous ...

Millimeter-wave diode-grid phase shifters [PDF]
, 1988 Monolithic diode grids have been fabricated on 2-cm square gallium-arsenide wafers with 1600 Schottky-barrier varactor diodes. Shorted diodes are detected with a liquid-crystal technique, and the bad diodes are removed with an ultrasonic probe.
