In the past decade, ultrashort laser sources have had a decisive impact on material processing for photonic applications. Since the first demonstration of bulk photowriting of light guides, the control of the irradiation outcome and the machining of more complex devices have been ongoing challenges. However, the technique is usually restricted to the elemental association of an ultrashort sourc...

the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the glass ceiling on women creative ideas working in administrative province units of lorestan state with moderating of their self-concept variable. the population of this cross-correlation study included all women employees of administrative province units of lorestan state. using stratified sampling, and based on morgan table, 306 persons we...

The left-right chiral and ferromagnetic-antiferromagnetic double-spin-glass clock model, with the crucially even number of states q=4 and in three dimensions d=3, has been studied by renormalization-group theory. We find, for the first time to our knowledge, four spin-glass phases, including conventional, chiral, and quadrupolar spin-glass phases, and phase transitions between spin-glass phases...

Ordering of the Heisenberg spin glass with the nearest-neighbor Gaussian coupling is investigated by equilibrium Monte Carlo simulations in four and five dimensions. Ordering of the mean-field Heisenberg spin glass is also studied for comparison. Particular attention is paid to the nature of the spin-glass and chiral-glass orderings. Our numerical data suggest that, in five dimensions, the mode...

The performance of asphaltic pavements during their service life is highly dependent on the mechanical properties of the asphaltic layers. Therefore, in order to extend their service life, scientists and engineers are constantly trying to improve the mechanical properties of the asphaltic mixtures. One common method of improving the performance of asphaltic mixtures is using different types of ...

Nanoporous glass-ceramics were prepared with composition 45CaO-25TiO2-35P2O5 (mol%). Two molar percent of Na2O was added as a flux to the composition. With the aforementioned composition, glass melted and crystallized into glass-ceramics containing β-Ca3(PO4)2 and CaTi4(PO4)6 as the main phases. The differential thermal analysis (DTA) was conducted to determine the suitable temperatures f...

Commercial dental lithium disilicate based glass-ceramics containing various amounts of P2O5 were synthesized. Regarding the crystallization behavior and physico-chemical properties of the glasses, the optimum percent of P2O5 was determined.as 8 %wt. Crystallization behavior of the glasses was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential thermal analysis (DTA). The micro-hardness a...

Laminated safety glass is used in the automobile industry and in architectural applications. Laminated safety glass consists of a plastic interlayer, such as a layer of poly vinyl butyral (PVB) or Butacite, surrounded by two adjacent glass plates as shown in Figure 1. The glass can be float glass, plate glass, tempered glass, or sheet glass, and the plastic interlayer is made of a viscoelastic ...
