(1) Tunnel HA MH Mobile Internet users expect access to the services and applications that are available in wired networks. Consequently, many efforts are being made to provide efficient mobility and multicasting support, and to bring the two together in the next generation of IP networks.

In this thesis innovative tunnel devices based on new architectures, new fabrication approaches and novel material combinations are fabricated and investigated in detail. In particular, nanowire homoand heterojunction tunnel diodes based on Si and InAs-Si have been demonstrated for the rst time. The gained knowledge and understanding of tunnel diodes is applied to design and fabricate InAs-Si h...

We report on an unusual case of surgical repair for anomalous origin of the coronary artery from the pulmonary artery, in a young patient who underwent tunnel repair with concomitant heterotopic heart transplantation to support severely impaired left ventricular function. Four years later, the graft was removed after confirmation of ventricular arrest and excellent recovery of the patient's own...

The DSTO water tunnel’s balance and rotary support mechanism provides a measurement capability for longitudinal dynamic derivatives. This report documents the underlying theory and computational implementation of a technique which uses the water tunnel for determination of normal force and pitching moment coefficient derivatives with respect to angle of attack, nondimensional pitch rate and ang...
