The use of geodesic curves surfaces has enormous potential in architecture due to their multiple properties and easy geometric control using digital graphic tools. Among numerous properties, the a surface are paths along which straight strips can be placed tangentially surface. On this basis, graphical method is proposed discretize strips, optimizes material consumption since rectangular take a...

1. Determinations were done of the strength-duration, the strength-frequency, and the latent addition curves with single fiber preparations. 2. Calculation of the strength-duration and strength-frequency curves from the latent addition data by the Blair-Monnier-Hill-Rashevsky theory yielded results which showed a considerable divergence from the actual data. Calculation by the method of integra...

We electrochemically deposit conducting polymer to bridge two closely placed electrodes, and then form a polymer nanowire by stretching the polymer bridge with the electrodes. During stretching, the conductance increases initially as the polymer chains are aligned in parallel, and then decreases in a stepwise fashion, due to abrupt changes in the nanowire thickness. We study the current– voltag...

Invariant rectifying and stripping (IRS) curves are used for thermodynamic analysis of a distillation column. Thermal integration of a distillation column with the background process through side exchangers (side reboilers/condensers) is important for energy-efficient design of a distillation column. Thermal integration of a distillation column through side exchangers also improves the exergeti...

Semiconductor ZnO aerogels were synthesized by a sol–gel process with different concentrations (2.5–7.5 wt.%) of Al (n-type) or Na (p-type) and dried under supercritical CO2. The materials calcined at 500 °C to remove the organic content crystallize ZnO. microstructure ZnO-based comprises porous structure hexagonal platelet-shaped interconnected particles. bandgap doped decreased significantly ...

We construct unramified central simple algebras representing 2-torsion classes in the Brauer group of a hyperelliptic curve, and show that every 2-torsion class can be constructed this way when the curve has a rational Weierstrass point or when the base field is C1. In general, we show that a large (but in general proper) subgroup of the 2torsion classes are given by the construction. Examples ...

In this brief note, we prove the following two Artin-Schreier curves are supersin-gular.
