Copper decoration has been used to identify defects in n-type silicon wafers containing P-bands. This was done by depositing Cu(NO3)2 solution onto the wafer, followed by heat treatment. This technique has been shown to be fast and effective for decorating different kinds of defects in silicon. The...
Single Edge Notch Tension (SENT) tests have been carried out on girth welded X80 pipeline steel using two different weld materials to investigate the effect of weld metal mismatch on ductile crack growth. In addition to the traditional clip gauge CMOD/CTOD measurements, information has been obtained...
The main advantage of Electric Swing Adsorption (ESA) process is related to the fast heating rates that can be achieved by Joule effect. Since this heating is done by passing electricity, its utilization should be efficient to reduce the overall losses of the system. This work discusses the heat...
In this study, we have considered Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) technology natural gas purification and integrated CO2 capture. We present the utilization of Dual-PSA technology for obtaining pipeline-quality methane and integrated CO2 capture. In the initial simulation example, a binary stream...
Building integrated photovoltaics (BIPVs) are photovoltaic materials that replace conventional building materials in parts of the building envelopes, such as roofs or facades, i.e. the BIPV system serves dual purposes, as both a building envelope material and a power generator. Hence, it is...
In this chapter, you will encounter a problem that is inherently two-stage. The first inherent stage is to decide on production levels for a number of substitutable products with correlated demands. This is followed by a second stage where demand is met, partly by giving customers what they want...
Concrete under the Northern lights - this publication was made by Byggeindustrien on behalf of the Norwegian Concrete Association and the Norwegian fib delegation...
The article is based on multi-sited fieldwork in a multinational corporation, where psychological tests were used extensively to facilitate communication and human resource development. The analysis indicates that the test effects were more complex than intended. Their application may be considered...
