Metal-doped zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorod arrays have attracted much attention due to improvement in their electrical, structural, and optical properties upon doping. In this chapter, we discuss the effects of aluminum (Al)and iron (Fe)-doping on ZnO nanorod arrays properties particularly for humidity sensor applications. Compared to Fe, Al shows more promising characteristics as doping element for ...

Recently the theoretical community has displayed a flurry of interest in suffix arrays, and compressed suffix arrays. New, asymptotically optimal algorithms for construction, search, and compression of suffix arrays have been proposed. In this talk we will present our investigations into the practicalities of these latest developments. In particular, we investigate whether suffix arrays can ind...

A model is proposed to analyze the heat transfer of deep borehole exchanger (DBHE)arrays. Based on this, a dimension reduction algorithm for numerical simulation DBHE arrays, which can improve calculation speed by several orders magnitude compared with that CFD software. An index extraction capacity (HECI) adopted evaluate arrays. The influence spacing, operation time, annual heating duration, ...

Design of thinned semi-elliptical and quarter-elliptical antenna arrays, with uniform excitation and uniform spacing using genetic algorithm (GA) optimization, is presented in this paper. Thinned arrays produce narrow directive beam without causing major degradation of fully populated antenna arrays. Semi-elliptical array contains antenna elements along half of the elliptical geometry and quart...

in the following work we present a proof for the strong law of large numbers for pairwise negatively dependent random variables which relaxes the usual assumption of pairwise independence. let be a double sequence of pairwise negatively dependent random variables. if for all non-negative real numbers t and , for 1 < p < 2, then we prove that (1). in addition, it also converges to 0 in . the res...

BACKGROUND Macro-, micro-, and nanosized arrays of test sites at various densities have emerged as important types of analytical devices in response to the need for high volume parallel analysis in both the research and the clinical laboratory. CONTENT This review explores the diversity of arrays of reaction vessels and arrays of reagents and of samples, with an emphasis on the earliest descr...

We experimentally demonstrate near-unity, unselective absorption, broadband, angle-insensitive, and polarization-independent absorption, in sparse InP nanowire arrays, embedded in flexible polymer sheets via geometric control of waveguide modes in two wire motifs: (i) arrays of tapered wires and (ii) arrays of nanowires with varying radii. Sparse arrays of these structures exhibit enhanced abso...

The photolithographic fabrication of high-density DNA and RNA arrays on flexible and transparent plastic substrates is reported. The substrates are thin sheets of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) coated with cross-linked polymer multilayers that present hydroxyl groups suitable for conventional phosphoramidite-based nucleic acid synthesis. We demonstrate that by modifying array synthesis proc...

In this paper is investigated a possible optimization of some linear algebra problems which can be solved by parallel processing using the special arrays called systolic arrays. In this paper are used some special types of transformations for the designing of these arrays. We show the characteristics of these arrays. The main focus is on discussing the advantages of these arrays in parallel com...
