The issue of automobile recyclability is a problem with complex ramifications for car makers world-wide. Confronted with increasingly stringent fuel economy, emissions, and safety standards, recyclability is an attribute which can limit the ability of the automaker to meet these other goals economically. Nevertheless, social and political pressures upon the industry require that it responds to ...

We present mm-wave transmission as a complementary technique to characterize the properties of superconducting thin lms, obtaining information on both the real and imaginary part of the dielectric function. Examples are given to illustrate the strength of the technique to measure the response of dielectric materials and strati ed systems. We demonstrate the BCS-behavior of a conventional superc...

Due to the fact that paintwork in the automobile repair industry requires individual correspondence, work by human hands is indispensable. Although the skills of expert engineers have a great influence on the finish, learning these skills require a lot of experience and time. In Japan, the number of young people in the automobile mechanic and automobile repair industry is drastically decreasing...
