Non - Destructive Measurements for Robust Technologies

Non Destructive Evaluation (NDE) has become an inseparable part of modern society. Be it the field of engineering, technology, or healthcare, NDE is being used right from cradle to tomb to optimize processes, manage quality, predict the life and limit liability avoiding accidents. While NDE science and technology was qualitative during the first half of 20 century, the liberalisation of economi...

Bargaining and Destructive Power

The theory of bargaining as formulated by Nash (1950, 1953) has developed along two routes. One is axiomatic (e.g., Nash 1950; Kalai and Smorodinsky 1975; Roemer 1988). Here, the negotiation process underlying the bargaining is only implicit. The idea is to try to characterize the negotiated outcome (the solution) through a set of axioms without formally modeling the process. The advantages of ...

Prediction of Eggshell Ultrastructure via Some Non-destructive and Destructive Measurements in Fayoumi Breed

Possibilities of predicting eggshell ultrastructure from direct non-destructive and destructive measurements were examined using 120 Fayoumi eggs collected from the flock at 45 weeks of age. The non-destructive measurements included weight, length and width of the egg. The destructive measurements were breaking strength and shell thickness. The eggshell ultrastructure traits involved the total ...

Microscopic Features of Adhesive Bonds for Non-Destructive Measurements

Inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy, or lETS, provides an extremely sensitive method for monitoring the chemical and physical state of a molecular substance adsorbed onto an oxide surface. Inelastic tunneling data directly reflect the molecular vibrational frequencies of the first monolayer of adsorbed molecules and changes in the vibrational spectrum can be correlated with changes in the...
