Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModification of Carbon Steel by Laser Surface Melting: Part II: Effect of Laser Beam Power on Microstructural Features and Surface HardnessHashem F. El-Labban, M. Abdelaziz, Essam R.I. MahmoudThe surface hardness has an important effect on the wear resistance of different materials. The present study aims to improve the surface hardness of carbon steel through the application of laser surface melting with suitable conditions. The laser beam power and travelling speed are the main factors that affect the properties of the treated zone. In this study, three different … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Jan 2014 · 7,208 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Approach in Design and Operating Principle of Silicone Tactile SensorBakri Ali, Rozaini Othman, Rasdi Deraman, Muhammad Azmi AyubProblem statement: Research and development in tactile sensor are escalating due to the fact that advanced robot needs to interact with surrounding environments which is very complex, dynamic, uncontrolled and difficult to perceive reliably. Recent research has been focusing in development of new tactile sensor that takes advantage of advances in materials, Micro-Electromechanical Systems (MEMS) and semiconductor technology. To date, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,347 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSynthesis and Characterization of Silver/Polyvinilpirrolidone (Ag/PVP) Nanoparticles Using Gamma Irradiation TechniquesShawkat Salameh Gasaymeh, Shahidan Radiman, Lee Yook Heng et al.Problem statement: In this study, attempts had been made to synthesize silver (Ag)/Poly Vinylpyrolidone (PVP) nanoparticles by ionizing radiation and at the same time overcoming some of the disadvantages previously reported by other methods such as impurities, solvent toxicity, size and distribution control and difficulty in their preparation that limits their commercialization potential. Approach: The use of this alternative method … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2010 · 9,962 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComplexity in Human Perception of Brightness: A Historical Review on the Evolution of the Philosophy of Visual PerceptionKuntal Ghosh, Kamales BhaumikProblem statement: The “eye-brain” complex, which contributes maximally to visual perception, is no doubt a very interesting object for complexity study. In this review we shall try to present some of its aspects in perceiving brightness. It is a well-known fact that the perceived brightness of any surface depends on the brightness of the surfaces that surround it, a phenomenon … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,680 accessesView PDF Cite

Review ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordStructural Colour from Optical Phenomena Caused by Interference with a Thin or Multilayer Film, Photonic Nanocrystals, Light Scattering and Diffraction Grating EffectRelly Victoria Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Antonio ApicellaThe paper presents the Ion Plating Plasma Assisted technology that is applied in the area of surface functionalization with the purpose of preserving the structural colour and relics. The interferometric structural colours applied on titanium surfaces were used and tested together with nano-transparent and at the same time achromatic films on the very old ceramic artifact. In order to test … …Journal of Aircraft and Spacecraft Technology, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 13 Aug 2020 · 6,503 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordThermoelectric and Optical Properties of Advanced Thermoelectric Devices from Different Multilayer Thin FilmsMebougna Drabo, Satilmis BudakThermoelectric devices were prepared using different multilayered thin film structures in the order of Ge/Si+Ge, Si+Ge, Si, Sb+Ge, Ge and SiO2/SiO2+Ge by DC/RF Magnetron Sputtering. The thickness of the deposited thin films were measured using Filmetrics UV thickness measurement system. The prepared thermoelectric devices have been modified with 5 MeV Si ions bombardments at the different fluences (doses) using Pelletron … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 8 · 29 Aug 2019 · 8,113 accessesView PDF Cite
