in this work, the influence of different edm parameters (pulse current, pulse voltage, pulse on-time , pulse off-time) in finishing stage on  the surface roughness (r a )  as a result of application copper electrode to a workpiece( cold work steel  din1.2379)  has been investigated. design of the experiment was chosen as full factorial. statistical analysis has been done and artificial neural n...

Brief-pulse stimulation at 50 Hz has been shown to terminate afterdischarges observed in epilepsy patients. However, the optimal pulse stimulation parameters for terminating cortical electrical stimulation-induced afterdischarges remain unclear. In the present study, we examined the effects of different brief-pulse stimulation frequencies (5, 50 and 100 Hz) on cortical electrical stimulation-in...

We demonstrate ultrafast delay tuning of a slow-light pulse with a response time <10 ps. This is achieved using two types of slow light: dispersion-compensated slow light for the signal pulse, and low-dispersion slow light to enhance nonlinear effects of the control pulse. These two types of slow light are generated simultaneously in Si lattice-shifted photonic crystal waveguides, arising from ...

In a recent paper [D. Babikov, J. Chem. Phys. 121, 7577 (2004)], quantum optimal control theory was applied to analyze the accuracy of quantum gates in a quantum computer based on molecular vibrational eigenstates. The effects of the anharmonicity parameter of the molecule, the target time of the pulse, and the penalty function on the accuracy of the qubit transformations were investigated. We ...

Previous pulse-width measurement methods for ultrashort laser pulses have broadly employed nonlinear effects; thus any of these previous methods may experience problems relating to nonlinear effects. Here we present a new pulse-width measuring method based on the linear selfdiffraction effect. Because the Talbot effect of a grating with ultrashort laser pulse illumination is different from that...

In this study, the flow channels of a PEM fuel cell are fabricated by the EMM process. The parametric effects of the process are studied by both numerical simulation and experimental tests. For the numerical simulation, the multiphysics model, consisting of electrical field, convection, and diffusion phenomena is applied using COMSOL software. COMSOL software is used to predict the parametric e...
