The surface stability and resulting transmission of the SARS-CoV-2, specifically in indoor environments, have been identified as a potential pandemic challenge requiring investigation. This novel virus can be found on ...

Fatigue crack initiation occurs at the surface, although sub surface nucleation has also been reported. Localized imperfections like inclusions close to surface and surface small pits can result in crack sources. Coatings ...

This paper deals with the efficient computation of scattering problems by fast oscillating periodic surfaces using two-scale expansion homogenization techniques. The proposed method splits the field between an effective ...

This work presents a systematic study on the relationship between the adsorption mechanism and the surface bio-activity of d-amino acid oxidase (pkDAAO). This rational approach is based on measuring the characteristic ...

New alternatives for monitoring the ceramic grinding process have been studied. Monitoring vibration signals is one of the most successful methods because some characteristics that describe the behaviour and influence of ...

We describe necessary and sufficient conditions for image transformations so that surfaces refracting or reflecting collimated beams exist. The surfaces are given by explicit formulas. When these conditions are not satisfied, ...

We consider a mesoscopic superconducting parallelepiped with different boundary conditions on different parts of the surface, xy, xz and yz surface planes. This is realized by considering different values of the de Gennes ...
