The electrical behaviour of Schottky barrier diodes realized on vertically standing individual GaN nanorods and array of nanorods is investigated. The Schottky diodes on individual nanorod show highest barrier height in comparison with large area diodes on nanorods array and epitaxial film which is in contrast with previously published work. The discrepancy between the electrical behaviour of n...

Roadside vegetation barriers are used in many urban areas to restrict air and noise pollution from reaching roadside pedestrians, but their effectiveness in limiting the movement of nanoparticles is not yet known. This study investigates the influence of a roadside vegetation barrier on particle number distribution (PND) and concentration (PNC) and associated exposure under different wind direc...

16. Abstract In a previous research project [SPR 2418; "Study of the performance of acoustic barriers for Indiana toll roads,"] the influence of environmental factors and of advanced sound barrier concepts was investigated. The presence of temperature gradients over pavements was found to have a strong influence on sound propagation. Refraction of sound waves emitted by tire-road interactions i...

A novel parallel non-Monte Carlo (MC) transient noise analysis method for general nonlinear is presented. Non-MC-based methods avoid expensive and lengthy MC iterations by describing the system with a linear time-varying (LTV) that can be used to calculate variance of waveform at every time point. However, main bottleneck in these LTV dense, strongly coupled, significantly larger compared origi...

On the basis of the traditional structure of noise barrier, this paper seeks aerodynamic load to reduce the variation of maximum surface configuration (porous structure). Using the numerical simulation method, this paper builds a three-dimensional numerical model of deloading type noise barriers and trains. The large fluid calculation software, Fluent, is adopted to conduct simulation calculati...

the types of transmission systems which today are available for long distance transmission of large numbers of telephone circuits are those for coaxial cables and radio links. the number of circuits is increased in both cases in step with development in technique. radio links have for several years been able to transmit 600 telephone circuits per system. and are now being designed for 960 circu...
