Organization of silicon nanocrystals by localized electrochemical etching
(2009)
Abstract : An approach to form a monolayer of organized silicon nanocrystals on a monocrystalline Si wafer is reported. Ordered arrays of nanoholes in a silicon nitride layer were obtained by combining electron beam ...
Effect of geometric parameters on the behavior of bolted GFRP pultruded plates
(2016)
Abstract : This paper presents the effect of geometric parameters on the behavior of bolted GFRP pultruded plates for civil engineering applications. After a literature review, results of an experimental analysis investigating ...
Experimental study of dynamic bending stiffness of ACSR overhead conductors
(2015)
Abstract : Aeolian vibrations of transmission line conductors may cause fretting fatigue failure at or near the location of clamped devices. At these locations, the bending stiffness variation of the conductor has a large ...
Strengthening of the net section of steel elements under tensile loads with bonded CFRP strips
(2014)
Abstract : The use of CFRP is increasingly common as a solution for the strengthening of structures, but the majority of research and applications have focused on the retrofit of concrete structures. The application of ...
Modeling multilayered wire strands, a strategy based on 3D finite element beam-to-beam contacts - Part II: Application to wind-induced vibration and fatigue analysis of overhead conductors
(2017)
Abstract: Wind-induced loads cause electrical transmission line fatigue. Evaluation procedures consider descriptors such as deflection amplitude (Yb) and far-field vibration (fymax), which cannot relate endurance limits ...
Fabrication of x-ray masks using evaporated electron sensitive layers for back patterning of membranes
(2002)
Abstract : A process aimed at fabricating proximity x-ray lithography masks is presented. In this technique, the Ta absorber layer is deposited and patterned on the back side of the membrane and nonspin-coated electron ...
High noise correlation between the functionally connected neurons in emergent V1 microcircuits
(2016)
Abstract : Neural correlations (noise correlations and cross-correlograms) are widely studied to infer functional connectivity between neurons. High noise correlations (Rsc) between neurons have been reported to increase ...
Effect of geometrical parameters of aluminum-to-steel bolted connections
(2015)
Abstract : Through experimental and numerical studies, this research work aims to provide directions on the optimal geometric configuration for single-lap and double-lap bolted connection between aluminum alloy 6061-T6 and ...
A parallel supercomputer implementation of a biological inspired neural network and its use for pattern recognition
(2012)
Abstract : A parallel implementation of a large spiking neural network is proposed and evaluated. The
neural network implements the binding by synchrony process using the Oscillatory Dynamic Link Matcher
(ODLM). Scalability, ...
Wavelet noise reduction : application to speech enhancement
(2000)
Abstract : During the past decade, the Wavelet Transforms (WT) have been applied to various research areas. Their applications include signal and image denoising, compression, detection, and pattern recognition. To our ...
