Water-based pressure sensitive adhesives are typically latex suspensions and are often coated onto silicone-coated paper prior to being contacted with the face stock. It is necessary to control drying conditions to achieve low residual moisture in the PSA without formation of defects, and mathematical models can be effective tools to determine appropriate drying conditions. We will present two ...

abstract the concept of armouring is used to discuss the coarse surface layer in rivers. selective erosion in an alluvial channel reach for which there is no upstream sediment supply can lead to formation of a layer coarser than the under laying material. this phenomenon inhibits sediment transport from the reach.numerical modeling of armouring river bed, provides an approach to simulation of t...

This document specifies Version 1.0 of the Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) protocol. The DTLS protocol provides communications privacy for datagram protocols. The protocol allows client/server applications to communicate in a way that is designed to prevent eavesdropping, tampering, or message forgery. The DTLS protocol is based on the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol and provid...

A cellular CDMA network with voice and data communications is considered. Focusing on the downlink direction, we seek for the overall performance improvement which can be achieved by cross-layer analysis and design, taking physical layer, link layer, network layer, and transport layer into account. We are concerned with the role of each single layer as well as the interaction among layers, and ...

Numerous transport protocols and protocol enhancements (e.g. TCPELN, WTCP, STP, etc) have been proposed for optimal performance in different types of wireless networks. In this paper, we define “transport layer adaptation” as the behavior of the transport protocol, with the goal of obtaining best performance, when a mobile host moves across different wireless networks. While defacto assumptions...

Several studies point out the deficiencies of the transport protocol TCP in wireless scenarios. Falsely, TCP’s congestion avoidance mechanisms are triggered by packets that are destroyed due to the high bit error probability of wireless channels or loss due to disruptions caused by handoffs. This can be avoided, if the indirect transport protocol model approach is applied. It subdivides the end...

In modern engines with higher compression ratios, severe pressures and non-uniform heating up is occurred for the engine parts. The piston as the most critical part among all automotive components has been the subject of numerous studies on calculation of temperature distribution, but thermal stress analyses are limited. In this study, the piston of gasoline engine XU7 which is widespread in Ir...

Carrier transport in normally-off n GaN/InAlN/AlN/GaN high electron mobility transistors is studied using two-dimensional numerical device simulation. We focus on the n GaN cap layer, which is removed under the gate, and its contribution to drain current. Our simulation results show that despite the high doping density and relatively high carrier concentration in this layer, no significant tran...

A mixture of graphene oxide (GO) and TiO2 nanocomposites was reduced photocatalytically by UV-irradiation and applied as interfacial layer between a fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) layer and a nanocrystalline TiO2 film. Impedance spectra implied a decreased back-transport reaction of electrons. The graphene–TiO2 interfacial layer effectively reduced the contact between I 3 ions in the electrolyt...
