TDDFT studies on effects of the size on optoelectronic properties of 2D germanene sheets
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2017 , Conference Paper)We report on the TDDFT calculations of the effect of the size on the optoelectronic properties of germanene sheets. Five structures of germanene were considered. All structures were optimized and their electronic and optical ... -
Effect of synthesis conditions on ZnO thin film photosensitivity via mSILAR technique
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2017 , Conference Paper)Zinc oxide (ZnO) nano-polycrystalline thin film has been synthesized by microwave-assisted successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (mSILAR) technique. The prepared samples were annealed in air and an inert atmosphere. ... -
Detailed velocity profiles in close-coupled elbows-Measurements and computational fluid dynamics predictions (RP-1682)
( Taylor and Francis Inc. , 2017 , Article)This article presents a systematic study to measure detailed velocity profiles in close-coupled five-gore elbows having nominal diameters of 305�mm (12 in) and turning radii r/D = 1.5, and to, likewise, predict the velocity ... -
Effect of nanostructured polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane on the physical properties of poly(vinyl alcohol)
( John Wiley and Sons Inc. , 2017 , Article)An effective amphiphilic polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) encapsulated poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) nanocomposite was successfully fabricated by solution blending method. Anionic octa(tetramethylammonium) (Octa-TMA) ... -
Microton irradiation induced tuning of dielectric properties of nano ZnO-natural rubber disks
( Springer Verlag , 2017 , Article)The effect of electron beam irradiation of dielectric and conductivity properties of nano ZnO-natural rubber (NR) disks was investigated here. It is revealed that electric properties such as AC conductivity, dielectric ... -
Replacement Policies for Periodic Damage Models
( World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte Ltd , 2017 , Article)A new periodic damage model is proposed in this paper, where the damage produced by shocks is only measured at periodic times, without considering the stochastic shocks and the cumulative process of damage in discrete ... -
Performance Comparison Between Fast Fourier Transform-Based Segmentation, Feature Selection, and Fault Identification Algorithm and Neural Network for the Condition Monitoring of Centrifugal Equipment
( American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) , 2017 , Article)This paper compares and evaluates the performance of two major feature selection and fault identification methods utilized for the condition monitoring (CM) of centrifugal equipment, namely fast Fourier transform (FFT)-based ... -
Comparisons of replacement policies with periodic times and repair numbers
( Elsevier Ltd , 2017 , Article)Periodic replacement policies modeled with the history of minimal repairs have been studied extensively. However, in the viewpoint of cost rate, there is no literature to compare replacement polices which are carried out ... -
Synthesis and characterization of cobalt hydroxide carbonate nanostructures
