As an excellent heat spreader candidate, graphene attracts considerable interest concerning its application in concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) systems. The consequences of employing a graphene-coated neutral density (GCND) filter to mitigate light impact adequately. Hence, the temperature for system is reported this work. A systematic thermal characterisation study was carried out using three d...

This paper explores the application of oblivious equilibrium to concentrated industries. We define an extended notion of oblivious equilibrium that we call partially oblivious equilibrium (POE) that allows for there to be a set of “dominant firms”, whose firm states are always monitored by every other firm in the market. We perform computational experiments that show that POE are often close to...

The linear viscoelastic response of an ordered dense emulsion is explored by numerical simulation. At concentrations below maximum packing, the stress relaxation is dominated by a single time scale associated with lubrication, which diverges at maximum packing. For concentrations above maximum packing, the stress relaxation is dominated by fast time scales of the order of the drop relaxation ti...

Internal friction in concentrated alloys at kHz frequencies and at temperatures from 120 3 0 0 K has been studied in alpha-and beta-brasses as a function of grain size, temperature and pre-strain, and a statistical model has been proposed to account for the observations.

In the recent years, non-connected piled raft foundation has been considered as an economical and practical deep foundation in the situation that high shear and concentrated loads may occur at the connection of the raft and pile head. This paper was presented an experimental study of a square foundation on the effects of parameters such as S/D, L/D and etc. in two cases of connected or non-conn...

This paper presents an analytical evaluation of isobutane (R600a), propane (R290), R134a, R22, R410A, and R32 in a vapor compression system used for comfort cooling applications. The evaluation method was based on a system simulation model that was complimented with an evolutionary computation module for the optimization of refrigerant circuitries in the evaporator and condenser. The evaluation...

Studies of beliefs about social stratification have generally focused on how individual-level factors shape people’s explanations of poverty and inequality. In this article, the authors contribute to this literature by adding a community-level measure of “concentrated disadvantage” (poverty and associated conditions) to models predicting support for individualistic (person-centered) and structu...
