Abstract Quantum Dot Infrared Photodetector (QDIP) is one of the promising candidates for infrared photodetection due to its controllable heterojunction bandgap and sensitivity normal incident radiation. It expected be superior photodetectors mature technologies such as Mercury Cadmium Telluride (HgCdTe) or a quantum well photodetector. In presented paper, we have developed theoretical model da...

The story of the "cylindrical saxophone" started with Benade (1988). The basic idea is that when the length of the missing part of a truncated cone is smaller than the wavelength, and therefore smaller than the length of the truncated cone, the behavior of a conical reed instrument has similarities with that of a cylindrical pipe excited by a reed on its side, at an intermediate location. The s...

Many women use panty liners between menstrual periods. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the use of such products might influence the vulva skin. Twelve healthy women were studied on four occasions with three different product constructions and on one occasion without products. Temperature, surface wetness and surface pH were measured on vulva skin. Mean skin temperature when the...

BACKGROUND AND AIM Thermal discomfort often affects prosthesis wearers and could be addressed by increasing liner thermal conductivity. This note explores a liner made from thermally conductive silicone and two additional alternative liner designs. TECHNIQUE Thermally conductive silicone was used to create a conductive liner and a hybrid liner. Additionally, one with open elements was made. T...
