A new model for hydrogen-assisted fatigue crack growth (HAFCG) in BCC iron under a gaseous hydrogen environment has been established based on various methods of observation, i.e., electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), ...

Photoelectrochemical (PEC) water electrolysis is an important energy conversion (power-to-chemical) method, providing a solution to the intermittent nature of solar energy. However, as PEC systems usually suffer from low ...

In this work, intramolecular and intermolecular associations under the effect of shear flow of dilute aqueous alkaline solutions of dextan, hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC), and the hydrophobically modified analogue (HM-2-HEC) ...

A multitude of today's electronic devices require a material which is both optically transparent and electrically conductive in order to operate as intended. Several such materials have been developed, and are technologically ...

Introductory physics lab courses serve as the starting point for students to learn and experience experimental physics at the undergraduate level. They often focus on measurement uncertainty, an essential topic for practicing ...

We study the formation of viscous fingering and fracturing patterns that occur when air at constant overpressure invades a circular Hele-Shaw cell containing a liquid-saturated deformable porous medium—i.e., during the ...

Event-by-event fluctuations of conserved charges – such as electric charge, strangeness, and baryon number – in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions provide insight into the properties of the quark-gluon plasma and the ...

Introduction The use of proton therapy increases globally despite a lack of randomised controlled trials demonstrating its efficacy and safety. Proton therapy enables sparing of non-neoplastic tissue from radiation. This ...

In this thesis, the gamma strength functions (GSF) of \(^{44}\)Sc, \(^{50,51}\)V, and \(^{64}\)Zn have been studied using numerical shell model calculations with the software KSHELL. The scandium and vanadium calculations ...
