Tubular channel angular pressing (TCAP) is a recently invented novel severe plastic deformation technique for producing UFG tubes. Plastic deformation analysis using the finite element method (FEM) was carried out to investigate the effects of trapezoidal channel geometry on strain inhomogeneity index (SII), strain level and required load compared to previously used channel geometries. The resu...

Novel chemically stable CaS:Eu(2+) nanowires protected by BN tubular sheaths were synthesized via a one-step and catalyst-free method for the first time; the nanostructures showed a red-light emission when excited by approximately 450 nm blue light.

The contribution discusses variants of architectures of hybrid MT systems. The three main types of architectures are: coupling of systems (serial or parallel), architecture adaptations (integrating novel components into SMT or RMT architectures, either by pre/post-editing, or by system core modifications), and genuine hybrid systems, combining components of different paradigms. The interest is ...

Recently hierarchical architectures, consisting of two-dimensional (2D) nanostructures, are of great interest for potential applications in energy and environmental. Here, novel rose-like WO₃ hierarchical architectures were successfully synthesized via a facile hydrothermal method. The as-prepared WO₃ hierarchical architectures were in fact assembled by numerous nanosheets with an average thick...

The self-assembly of supramolecular architectures to produce functional systems and devices is a key goal where molecular design, self-assembly, and materials design need to be combined together. In polyoxometalate chemistry we have taken the challenge to understand the assembly of clusters from the molecular to the nanoscale, by using a range of approaches including control of the available sp...

Modeling complex architectures is quite challenging. We introduce a novel intelligent system, which can generate semi-style or semi-structure Chinese ancient architectures automatically. By using an ontology based approach to analyze the styles of different architectures, geometry primitives (e.g. point, line, triangle, etc.) are converted into semantic architecture components (e.g. window, gat...

Directly or indirectly adders are the basic elements in almost all digital circuits, three operand building blocks LCG (Linear congruential generator) based pseudo-random bit generators. Elementary fast, area and power efficient for small sizes. Carry save adder computes addition O(n) time complexity, due to its ripple carry stage. Parallel prefix such as Han-Carlson compute O(log(n)) complexit...
