VIM-HMS method is a novel process to extract REEs (rare earth elements) from NdFeB based permanent magnets. The NdFeB materials were melted in graphite crucible by VIM (vacuum induction melting) process, and the carbon saturated NdFeBCsat alloy was obtained. The NdFeBCsat alloy was mechanically...
Implementing semantics-aware services, which includes semantic Web services, requires novel techniques for modeling and analysis. The problems include automated support for service discovery, selection, negotiation, and composition. In addition, support for automated service contracting and contract...
A system with a high degree of availability and survivability can be created via service duplication on disparate server platforms, where a compromise via a previously unknown attack is detected by a voting mechanism. However, shutting down the compromised component will inform the attacker that the...
The relationship between the content of sodium in the metal in aluminium production cells and the current efficiency (CE) was analysed, using available theory and experimental data. The sodium concentration as well as the CE varies with the bath composition (the bath ratio) and the cathodic...
