We report on three new types of nanoelectromechanical systems based on carbon nanotubes: an electromechanical nanothermometer, a nanorelay and a nanomotor. The nanothermometer can be used for accurate temperature measurements in spatially localized regions with dimensions of several hundred nanometers. The nanorelay is a prototype of a memory cell, and the nanoactuator can be used for transform...

in this research, a semi empirical approach has been suggested for calculating the activation energyof unimolecular thermal decomposition of vinyl ethers yielding saturated products. the calculationprocedure is based on the use of molecular mechanics (mm) methods. these methods which involvethe construction of the transition state for a molecule mainly consider the formation of a “hydrogenbridg...

Recently the distributive equations involving various classes of aggregation operators have aroused widespread attention because of their importance in the theoretic and applied communities of fuzzy set theory. 2-uninorms and semi-t-operators are two special classes of aggregation operators and have been proved to be useful in many areas such as fuzzy decision making, approximate reasoning and ...

this paper reports the results of using three empirical methods (makkink, priestley-taylor and hargreaves) for estimating the reference evapotranspiration (et0) in the semi-arid region of tensift al haouz, marrakech (center of morocco). the penman-monteith equation, standardized by the food and agriculture organization (fao-pm), is used to evaluate the three empirical methods. the obtained et0 ...

conformations and electronic properties of a series of imidazobenzodiazepines are investigated by am1 semi-empirical quantum mechanics method. it is shown that substitution of cl in position 7 instead of 8, changes the geometry of the seven membered lactam ring; this may put the n5 nitrogen in a better positon to act as a hydrogen bond acceptor, and the phenyl ring in position 6 is probably mor...

The goal of this paper is to investigate which requirements engineering techniques have been applied in the development of Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) and how they were applied. We performed a systematic review of 58 of a total of 835 papers found in scientific digital libraries. The results show that most of the proposals for dealing with requirements (79%) use already defined methods or techniq...
