ÐThe interaction between dislocations and semicoherent precipitates (O phase) is discussed. The investigation shows that the semicoherent precipitate is cut by dislocations during deformation. Conventional TEM and HRTEM observations demonstrate that shearing of precipitates by dislocations occurs by multiple cutting of the precipitate. A strengthening mechanism is proposed based on this observa...

Under the influence of a wiggler magnetic field, phenomenon second harmonic generation at metal–semiconductor interface, induced by surface plasma wave (SPW), has been investigated. Metals like Cu, Ag, and Al, each with thin layer n-InSb over it, are considered for our study. Laser light is incident on metal layered glass prism in attenuated total reflection Kretschmann configuration (ATR), whi...

A metal (Ag, Au, Pd, Sn, Bi, In, Co, Al) layer directly deposited onto a liquid-crystalline lipid membrane resulted in different morphologies, ranging from a monolayer of discrete particles to a continuous film, depending on the metal's oxidation tendency.

In this paper we introduce the SpeakCorrect system which is a Computer Aided Pronunciation Training (CAPT) system for native Arabic students of English. The system is designed with optimized performance for the target users group. It is L1 dependent system and only the frequent pronunciation errors of native Arabic speakers are examined. Several adaptation techniques such as Speaker Adaptive Tr...

Abstract A two‐step process, including the premetallization of SiC ceramic by Ag‐26.7Cu‐4Ti+B 4 C and followed brazing with Al‐based filler alloy, was developed to join 2219 aluminum alloy metallized SiC. The influence metallization temperature B addition on microstructure mechanical properties joint analyzed. reaction products Ti were detected in seam, such as 2 B, TiC graphite. With increasin...

San Diego Bay is an anthropogenically impacted waterway that is also a critical habitat for many sensitive species such as the green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas). In this study, we quantified trace metal concentrations in sediment and organisms composing the green sea turtle diet, and identified bioaccumulation patterns for a suite of trace metals. We found Ag, Cd, Cu, Mn, Se, and Zn exhibited t...
