We studied the early stages of Gd2O3 epitaxy on Si(111) in real time by synchrotron-based, high-resolution X-ray diffraction and by reflection high-energy electron diffraction. A comparison between model calculations and the measured X-ray scattering, and the change of reflection high-energy electron diffraction patterns both indicate that the growth begins without forming a three-dimensional c...

The Earth-Moon system likely formed as a result of a collision between two large planetary objects. Debate about their relative masses, the impact energy involved, and the extent of isotopic homogenization continues. We present the results of a high-precision oxygen isotope study of an extensive suite of lunar and terrestrial samples. We demonstrate that lunar rocks and terrestrial basalts show...

Aluminum and magnesium alloys are of materials for decreasing vehicle weight and consequently reducing fuel consumption. However, forming limitations regarding their low formability at room temperature are found when being manufactured by conventional forming processes. For this reason, development of new forming techniques, such as warm tube hydroforming, is needed to overcome such limitations...

background: radiation therapy  uses high-energy radiation to kill cancer cells. photoneutron contamination and induced radioactivity of high energy therapeutic photon beams are considered as the main source of occupational exposure to radiation therapists who works with linear accelerators operating above 10 mv. materials and methods: the gamma dose rates were measured after termination of diff...

In recent years, in order to reducing die design and manufacturing costs, Multi point forming technique has gained an increasing interest because of its high flexibility. In this process, the conventional fixed shape solid die sets are replaced with a pair of opposite matrices of controllable elements. In this paper, the fundamental principles of multi-point forming was described and the possib...

The high-rise steel structure building (structure) is a relatively special structure. Due to its high height characteristics and the overall narrowness, there still no unified method for this type of demolition. This paper aimed at studying simulation demolition structures by blasting through computer video images. For reason, proposes specific work based on LS-DYNA software. Through an update ...
