An imbalance in the transport current among the strands of a Cable-in-Conduit conductors (CICC) can be associated with the change of their performance. In order to understand and improve the performance of CICC’s, it is essential to study the current imbalance. This paper focuses on the study of the current imbalance in two short samples of the SeCRETS (Segregated Copper Ratio Experiment on Tra...

| A methodology for the automatic synthesis of full-custom IC layout with analog constraints is presented. The methodology guarantees that all performance constraints are met when feasible, or otherwise infeasibil-ity is detected as soon as possible, thus providing a robust and eecient design environment. In the proposed approach, performance speciications are translated into lower level bounds...

This study investigates the effect of increased welding layers welded by SMAW process on distorsion, thickness, microstructure, hardness, and corrosion. The method used in this research is experimental. Low-carbon steel with a size 150x10x10 mm was technique using an HV 450 electrode. Variations are single, double, triple. three variations samples were observed digital camera optical microscope...

1Cr11Ni2W2MoV is a new martensitic heat-resistant stainless steel utilized in the manufacturing of aero-engine high-temperature bearing components. Welding this type using fusion welding techniques causes many defects. Friction stir (FSW) valuable alternative. However, few investigations have been performed on FSW steels because high melting point and costly tools. Numerical simulation regard c...

Two surface modification techniques, the glow discharge plasma nitriding (GDPN) and cathodic cage (CCPN), were compared regarding mechanical tribological behavior of layers produced on AISI 316 stainless-steel surfaces. The analyses carried out at micro/nanoscale using nanoindentation nanoscratch tests. temperature (°C) time (h) parameters 350/6, 400/6, 450/6. Morphology, structure, microstruct...

Offshore aquaculture is increasingly viewed as a mechanism to meet growing protein demand for seafood, while minimizing adverse consequences on the environment and other uses in the oceans. However, despite growing interest in offshore aquaculture, there appears to be no consensus as to what measures commonly define an offshore site or how effects of offshore aquaculture—relative to more nearsh...
