METHODS This is a qualitative study combining the use of official publications and fieldwork b...

Surface chemical reactivity is imaged by combining electrochemical activation of a surface transformation process with spatiotemporal ellipsometric microscopy. An imaging ellipsometric microscope is built, allowing ellipsometric images of surfaces with a lateral resolution of ∼1 μm and a thickness sensitivity of ∼0.1 nm in air and 0.4 nm in a liquid. These performances are particularly adapted ...

Organizational structure determines the scope of decisions, tasks, responsibilities, goals, perspectives and rewards for achieving results. In recent decades, due to environmental changes and dramatic technological advances, organizational structure has changed from Mechanistic to organic. The purpose of the restructuring is to facilitate the achievement of the organization's goals. Changing st...

Vehicular platooning is one of the most challenging issues affecting level service (LOS) two-lane roads. This phenomenon has been involved with variables governing performance measures. Thus, to improve quality these roads and predict a comprehensive model for future plans under this phenomenon, present study aimed evaluate effect vehicular on measures then identify critical headways associated...

The network administrator is presented with an ever increasing demand for a stable and sustained network performance. Often times, the additional expectation for improved performance with additional network resources is overwhelming. Without the essential network performance measurement tools, the network personnel is severely handicapped in meeting those demands. This paper presents the design...
