P. fortunei was imported into Iran from China and was planted at different spacings in the forest of the north of Iran, for wood production. In this research, physical, chemical, mechanical properties and morphological characteristics of Iranian cultivated paulownia (Paulownia fortunei L.) wood were investigated. Paulownia has acceptable Runkel, flexibility and slenderness coefficients, which a...

Lignin fibers typically influence the mixture performance of stone matrix asphalt (SMA), such as strength, stability, durability, noise level, rutting resistance, fatigue life, and water sensitivity. However, limited studies were conducted to analyze the influence of fibers on the percent voids in mineral aggregate in bituminous mixture (VMA) during the mixture design. This study analyzed the e...

Recycled aggregate concrete has received increasing attention owing to its broad development prospects in recent years. This study discusses the enhancement mechanism of various fibers on mechanical properties, high-temperature resistance, and freeze–thaw cycle resistance recycled concrete. It reviews effects fiber types content strength, failure state, concrete’s high low temperatures. The res...

Prior work has shown Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) trained on surrogate Computer Aided Design (CAD) models are able to detect and classify real-world artefacts from photographs. The applications of which support twinning digital physical assets in design, including rapid extraction part geometry model repositories, information search \& retrieval identifying components the field for main...

We show by numerical modeling that saturation of the population inversion reduces the stimulated thermal Rayleigh gain relative to the laser gain in large mode area fiber amplifiers. We show how to exploit this effect to raise mode instability thresholds by a substantial factor. We also demonstrate that when suppression of stimulated Brillouin scattering and the population saturation effect are...

using a new numerical model, the pump-to-signal relative intensity noise (rin) transfer in singlepumpfiber optical parametric amplifiers for low modulation frequencies is investigated. the model includesfiber loss, pump depletion, as well as the gain saturation, and therefore, it can describe the practicalcircumstances associated with various applications of fiber optical parametric amplifiers....

We study numerically all-optical slow-light delays in room-temperature single-mode optical fibers induced by stimulated Brillouin scattering. We consider the propagation of a pulse through a cw-pumped Brillouin fiber amplifier, where the carrier frequency of the pulse is tuned near the Stokes resonance. Pulse delay and broadening of the Stokes pulse are studied in the small-signal and gain-satu...

Abstract The fiber properties after oxygen delignification and kraft pulping were studied by looking into the chemical characteristics morphology. effect of two processes on fibers was evaluated compared over a wider kappa number range (from 62 down to15). Wide-angle X-ray scattering, nuclear magnetic resonance saturation point used to characterize network structure. Fiber morphology dislocatio...
