Sustainable product development is currently of concern by scientists within both academia and engineering. Despite existing literature proposed related to detailed aspects for design for sustainability (D4S), the modeling of life cycle driving forces for D4S in different levels remains insufficient. A morphological analysis (MA) approach was applied to explore the strategies in sustainable pro...

We describe a reflection scheme that allows Bragg-spaced semiconductor quantum wells to be used to trap, store, and release light. We study the temporal and spectral distortion of delayed light pulses and show that this geometry allows multibit delays and offers a high degree of distortion compensation.

on the part of the professional staff to foster the mystique, even to the extent of keeping the administrative and professional staff apart, as far as possible. The office door was always kept closed. Shortly after I started, the psychiatric social worker left and so, through shortage of staff, the office door had to be opened.
