The present investigation was carried out to evaluate the application of Cloisite 30B organoclay (C30B) on the rheological, structural, electrical, and thermal characteristics of poly (methyl methacrylate)/multiwalled carbon nanotubes nanocomposites (PMMA/MWCNTs) fabricated by the simultaneous melt mixing. The microstructure and the state of nanofllers dispersion wereassessed by melt line...

The possibility of the flexible configuration of dispersion-managed optical links combined with optical phase conjugation by adopting an artificial distribution of the lengths of single mode fiber (SMF) and residual dispersion per span (RDPS) of the fiber spans has been numerically investigated. We confirmed that ‘DA-DA’ pattern – i.e., the lengths of SMF and RDPS around the front and the rear ...

We present new Hα Fabry-Perot observations of the HH 1/2 system. Line profiles, barycenter radial velocity maps and dispersion maps are derived from the channel maps of HH 1 and HH 2. The radial velocity barycenter maps of both HH 1/2 show a general trend of “red-shifted upstream/blue-shifted downstream” pattern. A “direct+scattered” component model for three emitting condensations is qualitati...

This research offers a new framework for assessing social vulnerability to climate change. A social vulnerability assessment trial was carried out for Chinese coastal cities at the county level. First, the 10 factors having the most influence on social vulnerability were identified. They are “House with no lavatory”, “House with no bath facilities”, “Employees in primary industry”, “Houses with...
