Probing viscoelastic properties of a thin polymer film sheared between a beads layer and quartz crystal resonator [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We report measurements of viscoelastic properties of thin polymer films of 10-100 nm at the MHz range. These thin films are confined between a quartz crystal resonator and a millimetric bead layer, producing an increase of both resonance frequency and ...

Category Theory Framework for System Engineering and Safety Assessment Model Synchronization Methodologies

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2022
In recent decades, there has been a significant increase in systems’ complexity, leading to a rise in the need for more and more models. Models created with different intents are written using different formalisms and give diverse system representations.

Quartz-tuning-fork enhanced photothermal spectroscopy for ultra-high sensitive trace gas detection.

open access: yesOptics Express, 2018
A gas sensing method based on quartz-tuning-fork enhanced photothermal spectroscopy (QEPTS) is reported in this paper. Unlike usually used thermally sensitive elements, a sharply resonant quartz-tuning-fork with the capability of enhanced mechanical ...

The preservation of quartz grain surface textures following vehicle fire and their use in forensic enquiry [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
During a terrorist trial, dispute arose as to whether the temperature produced in a car fire was sufficient to destroy quartz grain surface textures.

Integrated Electronic Transport and Thermometry at milliKelvin Temperatures and in Strong Magnetic Fields [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
We fabricated a He-3 immersion cell for transport measurements of semiconductor nanostructures at ultra low temperatures and in strong magnetic fields. We have a new scheme of field-independent thermometry based on quartz tuning fork Helium-3 viscometry ...

Polymorphism, superheating, and amorphization of silica upon shock wave loading and release [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
We present a detailed and quantitative examination of the thermodynamics and phase change mechanisms (including amorphization) that occur upon shock wave loading and unloading of silica.

The ice-nucleating ability of quartz immersed in water and its atmospheric importance compared to K-feldspar

open access: yesAtmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2019
. Mineral dust particles are thought to be an important type of ice-nucleating particle (INP) in the mixed-phase cloud regime around the globe. While K-rich feldspar (K-feldspar) has been identified as being a particularly important component of mineral ...

Using multiple measures of teaching quality to strengthen teacher preparation

open access: yesEducation Policy Analysis Archives, 2020
We argue that teacher preparation programs considering approaches to assess teaching quality should choose measures that appropriately represent the complexity of teaching, have formative value in supporting teacher candidates develop as highly qualified

A Convergence Theorem for the Nonequilibrium States in the Discrete Thermostatted Kinetic Theory

open access: yesMathematics, 2019
The existence and reaching of nonequilibrium stationary states are important issues that need to be taken into account in the development of mathematical modeling frameworks for far off equilibrium complex systems.
