Bragg scattering at one-dimensional corrugated substrates allows to improve the light outcoupling from top-emitting organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). The OLEDs rely on a highly efficient phosphorescent pin stack and contain metal electrodes that introduce pronounced microcavity effects. A corrugated photoresist layer underneath the bottom electrode introduces light scattering. Compared to ...

In warehouse storage applications, it is important to classify the burning behavior of commodities and rank them according to material flammability for early fire detection and suppression operations. In this study, the large-scale effects of warehouse fires are decoupled into separate processes of heat and mass transfer. As a first step, two nondimensional parameters are shown to govern the ph...

The wetting of water on corrugated and flat hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) monolayers on Rh(111) is studied within a hybrid quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) approach. Water is treated by QM methods, whereas the interactions between liquid and substrate are described at the MM level. The electrostatic properties of the substrate are reproduced by assigning specifically generated par...

Falling film evaporators, due to their high heat transfer coefficients, low energy loss, rather a low holdup time, and the ability to handle high capacities have broad applications in food industries. Thus, this kind of evaporator is being used in the production of temperature sensitive compounds such as syrups. In this study, through modelling of the falling film evaporator with the use of...

Cirrhosis of liver – an interesting clinical condition that baffles our aims of diagnosis – is the endresult of not one cause but of many processes. Here is a study based on 59 cases of early, intermediate and late cirrhosis which becomes an interesting part of the continuing search to find out and thoroughly understand the real cause so that the medical profession can go ahead to eradicate the...

response surface methodology (rsm) is a statistical method useful in the modeling and analysis of problems in which the response variable receives the influence of several independent variables, in order to determine which are the conditions under which should operate these variables to optimize a corrugated box production process. the purpose of this research is to create response surface mode...

The affected pig should be restrained and the corrugated tube gently inserted into the lumen of the prolapsed rectum the halfway-point on the tube needs to be inserted as far as the anal sphincter. The rubber bands should be stretched over the prolapse and placed as near as possible to the perianal skin; they must be tight enough to stop the blood supply to the prolapse. Faeces may move down th...

We investigate the transport of suspended Brownian particles dc driven along corrugated narrow channels in a regime of finite damping. We demonstrate that inertial corrections cannot be neglected as long as the width of the channel bottlenecks is smaller than an appropriate particle diffusion length, which depends on both the temperature and the strength of the dc drive. Therefore, transport th...

A quantum Markovian activated atom-surface diffusion model with interacting adsorbates is proposed for the intermediate scattering function, which is shown to be complex-valued and factorizable into a classical-like and a quantum-mechanical factor. Applications to the diffusion of Na atoms on flat (weakly corrugated) and corrugated-Cu(001) surfaces at different coverages and surface temperature...

Hydrocarbon explosions are one of most hazardous events for workers on offshore platforms. To protect structures against explosion loads, corrugated blast walls are typically installed. However, the profiles of real explosion loads are quite different depending on the congestion and confinement of Topside structures. As the level of congestion and confinement increases, the explosion load incre...
