One of the most important issues in water supply for agriculture or drinking is sediment control.Sedimentation in water conveyance channels reduces transmission efficiency. this study evaluated theefficiency of settling basin of Kamandan intake that is located in the village of Aligoodarz in Lorestanprovince. At first sample from water and sediment in inlet and outlet of settling basin in diffe...

We describe the origin, development, and status of the Los Alamos antiproton catching trap. Originally designed for the antiproton gravity experiment, it now is clear that this device can be a source of low-energy antiprotons for a wide range of physics, both on site, at CERN, and also off site. Ach ihr Götter| große Götter In dem weiten Himmel droben| Gäbet Ihr uns auf der Erde festen Sinn und...

Theories of interface trap generation in Negative Bias Temperature Instability (NBTI) and Hot Carrier Injection (HCI) mechanisms are unified under the geometric interpretation and computational modeling of Reaction-Diffusion (R-D) theoryframework. Analytical derivations that predict the degradation are shown, simulation methodology is explained and numerical solutions are obtained. Time-exponen...

The Probe trap was tested with three types (empty, water, alcoholic extract of (Vicia faba) respectively and for periods time (1, 2, 3) days to catch the cowpea weevil C. maculatus that infests broad bean seeds prepared cultivation. It gave a catching percentage on third day placing traps (19.16, 62.5, 88.33)% respectively, lowest first (5.83, 20, 41.67%) while highest Indicator device species ...

We have developed software with an interactive user interface that can be used to generate phase holograms for use with spatial light modulators. The program utilizes different hologram design techniques, allowing the user to select an appropriate algorithm. The program can be used to generate multiple beams and can be used for beam steering. We see a major application of the program to be in o...

We discuss the roles of the macroscopic limit and different system-environment interactions in a quantum-classical transition for a chaotic system. We consider the kicked harmonic oscillator subject to reservoirs that correspond in the classical case to purely dissipative or purely diffusive behavior, a situation that can be implemented in ion trap experiments. In the dissipative case, we deriv...

Charge-trap non-volatile memory devices based upon the precise integration of quantum dot storage elements with silicon nanowire field-effect transistors are described. Template-assisted assembly yields an ordered array of FeO QDs within the trenches that separate highly aligned SiNWs, and injected charges are reversibly stored via Fowler-Nordheim tunneling into the QDs. Stored charges shift th...

We introduce a novel technique that enables pressure measurements to be made in microfluidic chips using optical trapping. Pressure differentials across droplets in a microfluidic channel are determined by monitoring the displacements of a bead in an optical trap. We provide physical interpretation of the results. Our experiments reveal that our device has high sensitivity and can be operated o...
