effective elastic properties for carbon nanotube reinforced composites are obtained through a variety of micromechanics techniques. an embedded carbon nanotube  in  a  polymer  matrix  and  its surrounding  interphase  is  replaced with an equivalent fiber for  predicting  the  mechanical  properties of  the  carbon  nanotube/polymer composite. the effects of an interphase layer between the nan...

introduction: internet searches suggest people need to check the appropriate and correct information in the field of health. meanwhile, due to the rapid growth of new technologies such as mobile technology, which today is universally accessible to all members of society, has been created a new  and  appropriate channel to offer health services that use this technology to propose best value tail...

Resistive switching memory (RRAM) is a promising technology for embedded and its application in computing. In particular, RRAM arrays can provide convenient primitive matrix-vector multiplication (MVM) with strong impact on the acceleration of neural networks artificial intelligence (AI). At same time, affected by intrinsic conductance variations, which might cause degradation accuracy AI infer...

This paper explores the usefulness of the ‘ethical matrix’, proposed by Ben Mepham, as a tool in technology assessment, specifically in food ethics. We consider what the matrix is, how it might be useful as a tool in ethical decisionmaking, and what drawbacks might be associated with it. We suggest that it is helpful for fact-finding in ethical debates relating to food ethics; but that it is mu...

The paper investigates whether the classical socio-technical matrix that differentiate 4 quadrants of social-technical system: people, structure, tasks and technology can still be useful for practical purposes. The paper gives a positive answer on the question, provided that the level of abstraction in defining these four quadrants is increased to deal with culture, type of structure, methods (...
