The high electrical and drastically-low thermal conductivities, a vital goal for high performance thermoelectric (TE) materials, are achieved in Si-based nanoarchitecture composed of Si channel layers and epitaxial Ge nanodots (NDs) with ultrahigh areal density (~10(12) cm(-2)). In this nanoarchitecture, the ultrasmall NDs and Si channel layers play roles of phonon scattering sources and electr...

Stretchable ionic thermoelectric (i-TE) materials have attracted growing interest in converting low-grade thermal energy into electricity. However, substantial improvement on i-TE performance of quasi-solid ionogels remains a significant challenge. Here, nanocomposite ionogel with skin-like stretchability, high performance, thermostability and durability is prepared by hybridizing liquid (IL) L...

This review deals with the theory of multiphase media in astrophysical systems. I discuss the basic reasons for the existence of multiple thermal phases, and the fundamental connection between multiphase media and thermal instability. After describing important examples of multiphase media, I examine the interactions among phases, i.e., mass exchange driven by thermal conduction and hydrodynami...

this study is to investigate the effect which capital structure has had on corporate performance using a data sample representing 0f 57 companies during 1381-1386. in this study using from roa and roe sake two the accounting performance measure , also using from ratios td/ta, td/te, td/tc and ltd/ta title independent variable. in study using from tests k-s ,multiple r , t and durbin watson. res...

The chromatic dispersion of optical fiber is a limiting factor in the increase of optical communications transmission bitrates. Chirped Fiber Bragg Gratings submitted to temperature gradients can provide tuneable dispersion compensation, being the tuneability achieved by an appropriate control of the applied temperature gradient. In this work we propose a numerical model that describes heat tra...

Carter, R. C. and Wilde, P., 1972. Cation exchange capacity of suspended material from coastal sea water off central California. Mar. Geol., 13: 107-122. The cation exchange capacity (CEC) of suspended particles (> 0.5 ~) in sea water is measured by a described methylene blue (MB) absorption method which has the following characteristics: sample volume: minimum of 100 ml sea water; time of meas...
