This paper investigates the difference between thickness of zinc-based alloys oxide films in dynamic condition using the oxide-metal-oxide (OMO) sandwich method and static condition by theoretical calculations. In dynamic condition, the thickness of the oxide film in the OMO sandwich sample was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In the static condition, the thickness and type ...

In this paper, we introduce an architecture description language (ADL) for PCOMs (a context oriented component model). The language is described at three levels: (1) Building blocks (PCOMs context oriented components types) (2) Connectors, which connect components externally and internally, and (3) Architectural Configuration, which includes a full description of composition and decomposition m...

the aim of this experiment was evaluating effect of fish oil versus palm oil on mammary gland health and milk production in holstein cows. ten multiparous holstein cows were used from six week before up to 63 days after parturition. feed intake and milk production were recorded daily, milk composition, body weight and body condition score were measured weekly and blood metabolites were determin...

Nano-particles consisting of a core surrounded by multiple outer shells (multishell particles) are used as novel functional materials as well as stiffeners/toughners in conventional composites and nanocomposites. In these heterogeneous particles, the mismatch of thermal expansion coefficients and lattice constants between neighboring shells induces stress/strain fields in the core and shells, w...

Using computational modeling, we present a facile method for creating defect-free, spatially periodic structures in immiscible, ternary ABC blends. The approach harnesses a photosensitive, reversible inter-conversion reaction between the A and B components; we specifically focus on cases where the rate of the forward reaction is higher than the reverse reaction. We also utilize a photomask that...

We study the following nonlinear elliptic equation 8 < : u ? u + (e u R e u ? 1 jj) = 0 in ; @u @ = 0 on @; where is a smooth bounded domain in R 2. This equation arises in the study of stationary solutions of a chemotaxis system proposed by Keller and Segel. Under the condition that > jj ? 1 ; 6 = 4m for m = 1; 2; :::, where 1 is the rst (nonzero) eigenvalue of ? under the Neumann boundary con...

The origin of Earth's Moon has been a perplexing mystery for many decades. Lunar samples have been obtained indicating an age of the Moon to be roughly 60-120 Myr [1,2] younger than the Calcium Aluminum Inclusions in the chondritic meteorites. Updated measurements indicate an age difference of 70-110 Myr [3,4]. Additional information has been obtained for the composition of the Moon relative to...
