This paper presents a framework to incorporate real-time theory with component based software engineering, in order to achieve predictable systems. The proposed technology is aimed at releasing the developers from analysis aspects, and having a synthesis tool resource efficiently mapping a feasible component based software architecture to a run-time environment. Two component technologies form ...

Typically, the elastic and electrical properties of composite materials are strongly microstruc-ture dependent. So it comes as a nice surprise to come across exact formulae for eeective moduli that are universally valid no matter what the microstructure. Such exact formulae provide useful benchmarks for testing numerical and actual experimental data, and for evaluating the merit of various appr...

Periodic arrays of shunted, piezoelectric patches are employed to control waves propagating over the surface of plate structures, and corresponding vibrations. The shunted, piezoelectric patches act as sources of impedance mismatch, which gives rise to interference phenomena resulting from the interaction between incident, reflected and transmitted waves. Periodically distributed mismatch zones...

in order to do in vitro fertilization (ivf), 435 oocytes were collected from 20 super ovulated nmri female mice, in m2 media with 4% bsa. 85% (n=370) of collected oocytes were in mii phase. epididymal sperms were added to 332 oocytes in t6 media drops with 4% bsa and incubated. fertilization rate was 79.8% (n=265) out of which 27.5% (n=73) grew to morula and 20.8% (n=55) achieved blastocyst sta...

We theoretically investigate the use of Rayleigh surface acoustic waves (SAWs) for refractive index modulation in optical waveguides consisting of amophous dielectrics. Considering low-loss Si3N4 waveguides with a standard core cross section of 4.4×0.03 μm size, buried 8-μm deep in a SiO2 cladding we compare surface acoustic wave generation in various different geometries via a piezo-active, le...

We report the demonstration of ferroelectric switching in yttrium (Y)-doped nitride semiconductors. In this study, single-crystalline, wurtzite Y0.07Al0.93N films were epitaxially grown on GaN/sapphire templates by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy. The process has been investigated current density–electric field (J-E) and polarization–electric (P-E) loops as well positive-up-negative-down...
