Strain and correlation of self-organized Ge_(1-x)Mn_x nanocolumns embedded in Ge (001)

, 2010
We report on the structural properties of Ge_(1-x)Mn_x layers grown by molecular beam epitaxy. In these layers, nanocolumns with a high Mn content are embedded in an almost-pure Ge matrix. We have used grazing-incidence X-ray scattering, atomic force and

Bond Behavior of Pretensioned Strand Embedded in Ultra-High-Performance Fiber-Reinforced Concrete

International Journal of Concrete Structures and Materials, 2018
This study aimed to investigate the bond properties of prestressing strands embedded in ultra-high-performance fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC). Toward this end, two types of prestressing strands with diameters of 12.7 and 15.2 mm were considered ...

ENHANCING ETHICAL PERFORMANCE IN MILITARY FORCES THROUGH EMBEDDED EXCELLENCE

Scientia Militaria - South African Journal of Military Studies, 2014
In this article, I propose the creation of what I will here call the Joint Ethics Development Initiative (JEDI). The title is, of course, offered partially in jest, but the image of the Jedi warrior of the Star Wars saga is intentional. At the heart of the proposed initiative is the development of a new, rigorous and highly demanding qualification and ...

Structural Health Monitoring Using Textile Reinforcement Structures with Integrated Optical Fiber Sensors

Sensors, 2017
Optical fiber-based sensors “embedded” in functionalized carbon structures (FCSs) and textile net structures (TNSs) based on alkaline-resistant glass are introduced for the purpose of structural health monitoring (SHM) of concrete-based structures.

Common Force Field Thermodynamics of Cholesterol

The Scientific World Journal, 2013
Four different force fields are examined for dynamic characteristics using cholesterol as a case study. The extent to which various types of internal degrees of freedom become thermodynamically relevant is evaluated by means of principal component ...

Interface-mediated interactions: Entropic forces of curved membranes

, 2011
Particles embedded in a fluctuating interface experience forces and torques mediated by the deformations and by the thermal fluctuations of the medium. Considering a system of two cylinders bound to a fluid membrane we show that the entropic contribution
