A simple model for the stochastic evolution of defects in a material under irradiation is presented. Using the master-equation formalism, we derive an expression for the average number of defects in terms of the power flux ...

New strategies to fulfill craniofacial bone defects have gained attention in recent years due to the morbidity of autologous bone graft harvesting. We aimed to evaluate the in vivo efficacy of bone tissue engineering ...

In Model-Driven Development (MDD), defects are managed at the level of conceptual models because the other artefacts are generated from them, such as more refined models, test cases and code. Although some studies have ...

The nature of the often reported room temperature ferromagnetism in transition metal doped oxides is still a matter of huge debate. Herein we report on room temperature ferromagnetism in high quality Co-doped ZnO (Zn1−xCoxO) ...

We study the resistive state of a mesoscopic superconducting strip with an engineered defect at the center. The defect is another superconductor with a different critical temperature. Several geometrical shapes of the ...

The purpose of this live study is to investigate the impact of emotional states on the efficiency of correcting defects within a Conceptual Model verification context. We plan to use the CoSTest tool for verifying defects ...

Conventional procedures used to assess the integrity of corroded piping systems with axial defects generally employ simplified failure criteria based upon a plastic collapse failure mechanism incorporating the tensile ...
