Recent theoretical claims not withstanding, muons can and do oscillate. Muons produced in association with neutrinos (if masses and mixing angles are nonzero) exhibit a joint oscillating spatial distribution. The possible use of muon oscillations as a probe of neutrino mass and mixing parameters is discussed using very simple physical arguments. Space-time oscillations in the secondary decay ve...

Software-based DRM systems promise fast access to a large market. But for a long time it has been assumed that software-based DRM systems are inherently insecure and should not be used for high quality content. We present a way to build secure software-based DRM systems. After analysing the weaknesses of current DRM systems we devise a strategy for the construction of software-based DRM systems...

Few topics in diabetic wound management generate as much "heated" discussion as hyperbaric oxygen (HBO). Hyperbaric oxygen is an intermittent inhalation therapy in which the patient breathes oxygen at greater than 1 atm of pressure. This requires placement of the patient into a sealed vessel (chamber) which is capable of withstanding pressurization. This article discusses the role of HBO as an ...

All Semrock filters are proven to be exceptionally durable and environmentally reliable, even in hot and high-humidity conditions, and are capable of withstanding high optical intensities. Semrock filters either have laser damage threshold (LDT) specifications, or, depending on the application, have been tested with intense broadband sources for extended periods of time with no noticeable degra...

Hydrogels with predictable degradation are highly desired for biomedical applications where timely disintegration of the hydrogel (e.g., drug delivery, guided tissue regeneration) is required. However, precisely controlling hydrogel degradation over a broad range in a predictable manner is challenging due to limited intrinsic variability in the degradation rate of liable bonds and difficulties ...

A continuing quest in science is the development of materials capable of operating structurally at ever-increasing temperatures. Indeed, the development of gas-turbine engines for aircraft/aerospace, which has had a seminal impact on our ability to travel, has been controlled by the availability of materials capable of withstanding the higher-temperature hostile environments encountered in thes...

Abstract. This paper describes the results of a wave tank test campaign 1/49 scaled SATH 10 MW floating platform. The software-in-the-loop (SiL) hybrid method was used to include wind turbine thrust and in-plane rotor moments. Experimental are compared with numerical model developed in OpenFAST turbine. carried out tested at deep ocean basin from Lir National Ocean Test Facility Cork, Ireland. ...

High-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipes find versatile applicability for transportation of water, sewage and slurry from one place to another. Hence, these pipes undergo tremendous pressure by the fluid carried. The present work entails the optimization of the withstanding pressure of the HDPE pipes using Taguchi technique. The traditional heuristic methodology stresses on a trial and error appr...


 This paper introduces an approach to defining goals in the development of cyber-resilient systems, following guidelines established standards National Institute Standards and Technology (NIST) United States. work aims provide a roadmap for researchers practitioners cyber resilience creating information systems capable withstanding adapting adverse conditions, malfunctions, attacks while ...
