This study investigated the structural stability and electrochemical properties of alloying additives M (M = Mn, V, Ti, Mo, or Ni) at the γ-Fe(111)/Cr2N(0001) interface by the first-principles method. Results indicated that V and Ti were easily segregated at the γ-Fe(111)/Cr2N(0001) interface and enhanced interfacial adhesive strength. By contrast, Ni and Mo were difficult to segregate at the γ...

A Virtual Open Laboratory Teaching Assistant (VOLTA) provides personalized instruction for students participating in a self-paced undergraduate circuits laboratory. VOLTA allows students to work in the open laboratory even when a teaching assistant is unavailable. The system’s components include pre-lab testing and instruction, engineering design exercises, short topic explanation videos, instr...

This paper focuses on the robustness problem of full implication triple implication inference method for fuzzy reasoning. First of all, based on strong regular implication, the weighted logic metric for measuring distance between two fuzzy sets is proposed. Besides, under this metric, some robustness results of the triple implication method are obtained, which demonstrates that the triple impli...

We consider in this work many-body enhanced electron tunneling through an InAs quantum dot in a magnetic field applied perpendicular to the tunneling direction. We have examined in details the anisotropic behavior of the amplitude and shape of the resonant peaks. 1 Department of Physics, Minho University, Braga 4710-057, Portugal 2 Institute of Microelectronics Technology RAS, 142432 Chernogolo...
