A Wide Input Power Line Energy Harvesting Circuit For Wireless Sensor Nodes
… expensive and impractical for some applications. Energy harvesting is a promising solution, and various designs are proposed to harvest power from ambient resources including thermal, vibrational, solar, wind, and RF sources. Among these ambient resources, AC powerlines are a stable energy source …

Growth, processing and chracterization of gallium nitride based coaxial LEDs grown by MOVPE
… its vicinity, thereby reducing its dislocation line energy. The possibility of growing zero defect GaN templates is extremely important in the breakdown voltage improvement, the reverse bias leakage current reduction and efficiency droop reduction. This growth method has also been extended to …

Minimisation of Energy Consumption Variance in Manufacturing through Production Schedule Manipulation
… the vital role it plays, the consumption of energy is rarely considered as a manufacturing process variable during the scheduling of production jobs. Due to both physical and contractual limits, the local power infrastructure can only deliver a finite amount of electrical energy at any one …

Microplastic deformation of polycrystalline silver chloride containing a small volume fraction of hard inclusions
… the orientation dependence of a dislocation's line energy. Additionally, the role that grain triple junctions and inclusions play in the nucleation of slip is considered. Statistical tests show slip is independent of inclusion location for diameters less than 5 microns. Conversely, triple …

Adaptive Spline-based Finite Element Method with Application to Phase-field Models of Biomembranes
… on developing a computationally efficient spline-based finite element method for interface problems.</p><p>A key challenge while employing B-spline basis functions in finite-element methods is the robust imposition of Dirichlet boundary conditions. We begin by examining weak enforcement of …

Deposition and characterisation of (Ti,Zr) based hard compound and multi-layer PVD films.
… period (<150A) multi-layer PVD thin films is outlined and the effects of substrate rotation velocity, type of rotation (1-fold or 3-fold) and deposition rate have been investigated. The high level of lattice mis-match and substantial differences in dislocation line energy and shear modulus has …

Growth and applicability of radiation-responsive silica nanowires
… is no exception in this regard. Interfacial and line energies are found to impose some fundamental limits during three-phase nanowire growth and lead to formation of stranded nanowires with fascinating characteristics such as high responsiveness towards ion irradiation. By using two materials …

Energy Modeling of Deceleration Strategies for Electric Vehicles
… of battery electric vehicles means improving energy consumption is a top priority. Regenerative braking converts kinetic energy to electrical energy stored in the battery pack while the vehicle is decelerating. Coasting is an alternative strategy that minimizes energy consumption by …

Identifikation des mitochondrialen Proteins Frataxin als stoffwechselmodulierenden Tumorsuppressor
Die Krebsentstehung wurde vor rund 80 Jahren auf veränderten zellulären Energiestoffwechsel zurückgeführt. Diese Hypothese konnte bisher weder experimentell bewiesen noch widerlegt werden. Durch den Einsatz zweier Modellsysteme mit unterschiedlicher Expression des mitochondrialen Proteins Frataxin …
