Nucleation of m-hydroxybenzoic acid crystals in different pure solvents has been investigated, and the thermodynamic interrelationship between two polymorphs was analyzed. The melting properties and specific heat capacities ...

The application of a magnetic field unexpectedly alters the rest potential of ferromagnetic electrodes in paramagnetic solutions of their salts. Anodic shifts of up to 60 mV in a field of 1 tesla were observed for 1M iron ...

We have investigated the magnetic properties of electroplated nickel nanowires with very distinct nanostructures, which are obtained by simply changing the plating temperature of the electrolyte. Low temperature (40°C) ...

The role of residual stresses in the failure of metallic components and the need to determine such stresses is well recognised. Magneto-acoustic emission (MAE) is a relatively new non-destructive detection technique and ...

Ground is fascinating in that it is something that every single person in the world experiences every day of their life in some form or another. For this reason it is crucial that architects have a clear understanding ...

This text will look closely at the landscape, to understand the topography, ecology, climate and composition, exploring the relationship between land and water, mudfl ats, islands and the coastal boundary. It is my goal ...

A key change in the move to Smart Grids (SGs) is the use of dynamic pricing; this together with less reliable energy from renewable resources makes optimising electricity use highly complex. For smart-devices to function ...

This paper presents a framework for modelbased product lines of embedded systems.We show how to integrate model-based product line techniques into a consistent framework that can deal with large product lines as they ...

Recent advances in both the capabilities and accessibility of embedded systems have resulted in the potential to build increasingly complex systems that consequently are difficult to develop, test and deploy. Model-driven ...
