Kebir (1994) (see also Shaked and Shanthikumar, 1994) has characterized likelihood ratio (LR) ordering, failure rate (FR) ordering, reversed hazard rate ordering and stochastic (ST) ordering with the help of Laplace transform. Using Laplace transform, Nanda (1995) has characterized, by means of necessary and sufficient conditions, the property that two life distributions are ordered in the s-FR...

Perpendicular magnetic tunnel junctions with double-interface free layer (p-DMTJs), which exhibit enhanced magnetoresistance (TMR) and thermal stability (?) at the nanoscale, have received considerable interest as building blocks for spintronic data storage devices. Heat-assisted recording (HAMR) techniques been widely employed in mainstream to enable ultrahigh density. However, access is achie...

The expeditious propagation of Internet Things (IoT) technologies implanted in different smart devices such as smartphones and smartwatches have a ubiquitous consequence on the modern population. These are employed to collect data aid tracking analyzing users’ daily activities using various human activity monitoring recognition (HAR) techniques. However, most current HAMR approaches rely explor...

An Inverse Electromagnetic Design algorithm is presented that can efficiently solve for optimal shapes of electromagnetic devices, such as antennas, surface textures and gratings. The algorithm was implemented in software along with techniques to represent non-parametric or freeform shapes, which allow the optimization to explore non-intuitive solutions. This Inverse Design Software was then us...

background and objectives: rice plant requires abundant water during its growth cycle and usually faced with water deficit. drought  stress alters the allocation assimilate , root and shoot growth during the vegetative period and also lower tillering, death tillers, lower plant height and flowering delay. the aim of this study was to screen different iranian genotypes and some lines from irri w...

Sirke, suya ek olarak %3-9 oranında asetik asit bileşenlerini içeren sıvı bir çözelti olup, birçok ham bitkisel/organik (bazı tarımsal atık) malzemeden gelen substratlar kullanılarak fermantasyon yollarıyla üretilen gıda maddesidir. Dünyanın en eski muhafaza maddesi bilinen sirke, fermente edilebilir karbonhidrat kaynakları (şeker ve nişasta) meyvelerden (ticari kullanımda genellikle üzüm) veya...

A technique for computing the thermal profile in a multilayer moving medium is described. This technique is particularly suitable for studying the near field optical/thermal interplay in hybrid optical/magnetic recording because the boundaries of the computation space are effectively removed from the optical source. It is shown that a three layer medium can be designed with a thermal time const...
