Abstract The effect of adding a copper interlayer to absorb the residual stresses produced during cooling of a silicon nitride (Si 3 N 4 ) ceramic brazed to an iron aluminide alloy was demonstrated. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) results showed the positive inf...

Particle-particle collisions in materials give rise to a particle distribution in energy and momentum in such a way that a most probable distribution is realized. I will show that an evaporating liquid generates a molecular imbalance in the equilibrium energy distributi...

Abstract This paper presents the Intelligent Forecasters Construction Set (IFCS) which is a toolset for constructing forecasting applications. The toolset supports the intelligent techniques of fuzzy logic, artificial neural networks, knowledge-based and case-based reas...

Derived from 2 yr of deliberations and community engagement, Medical Physics 3.0 (MP3.0) is an effort commissioned by the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) to devise a framework of strategies by which medical physicists can maintain and improve their...

This paper investigates the impact of second-generation (SG) plug-in battery electric vehicles (PBEVs) on distribution transformers insulation life considering the time-of-use (TOU) prices. The effect of dual Level 2 charging, 3.7kW, and 6.6kW on the loss of life (LOL) ...

Abstract This brief introductory review of some recent developments in atmosphere–ionosphere science is written for the “Vertical Coupling Special Issue” that is motivated by the 5th IAGA/ICMA/SCOSTEP Workshop on Vertical Coupling in the Atmosphere–Ionosphere System. Ba...

Multiphoton ionization of Xe and Kr is investigated with intense 0.62-\ensuremath{\mu}m pulses of 900, 90, and 22 fsec duration. Deviation from the scaling of lowest-order perturbation theory is observed. For the shortest pulses a modified Keldysh theory closely fits th...

Abstract The development of a new, semi-empirical model for the directional distribution of the diffuse radiance is reported. The proposed regression-type model, with the form of its base functions obtained from physical principles, is based on a combination of the pure...

Because of society's full dependence on energy, one of the most significant challenges is to produce electricity and heat to meet demands. Integrating CHP (combined heat and power) and renewable resources is developing progressive advances due to the high green gas emis...

A general numerical model based on the Zeldovich-Novozhilov solid-phase energy conservation result for unsteady solid-propellant burning is presented in this paper. Unlike past models, the integrated temperature distribution in the solid phase is utilized directly for e...
