The thermal conductivity (k) of poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) nanofibers, which were electrospun at various electrospinning voltages, was measured using suspended microdevices. While the thermal conductivities of the as-spun ...

In the present study, a systematic investigation on the effect of Fe content on the Hall-Petch coefficient of (CoCrMnNi)100-x Fex (x =20, 40, 50, and 60) medium- and high-entropy alloys (M/HEAs) was carried out. The ...

Haulage of materials in Open-pit mines contributes to approximately 40%-60% of the total operational costs. Current stricter environmental conditions, an increase in depths and size of open-pit mines, an increase in ...

In this paper, a new family of distributions called the exponentiated generalized power series family is proposed and studied. Statistical properties such as stochastic order, quantile function, entropy, mean residual ...

To improve the speed of an atomic force microscope (AFM), one must improve the bandwidth of its components, and the lateral XY scanner is no exception. Sinusoidal raster scans provide a simple way of improving lateral ...

Thermal conversion of wastes is one of theperspectivesolution to ‘municipal solid waste’ problem. Thermal conversion process entails thermal decomposition of material with an increase in temperature. This experimental ...

Growth in the production and use of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) has raised concerns with regard to their potential impact on the environment, and aquatic media in particular. These materials mostly consist of metal ...

Assessment of blast fragment size distribution is critical in mining operations because it is the initial step towards mineral extraction. Different empirical models and techniques are available for predicting and investigating ...

A transformation-induced plasticity phenomenon in Fe65(CoCrMnNi)35 medium-entropy alloy was investigated. According to the X-ray diffraction patterns, the as-cast specimen contains a single-phase face-centered cubic (fcc), ...

A typical line-scan rate for a commercial atomic force microscope (AFM) is about 1 Hz. At such a rate, more than four minutes of scanning time is required to obtain an image of 256 ' 256 pixels. Despite control electronics ...
