We studied high power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS) and different substrate bias for the epitaxial growth of Cu film on Cu (111) substrate by molecular dynamics simulation. We assumed a fully ionized deposition flux to represent the high ...

The Nordic countries have often been depicted as progressive societies regarding sexual diversity and gender equality. These progressive changes in sexual minority issues, however, have not brought about radical changes in educational policies ...

Energy recovery from waste biomass can have significant impacts on the most pressing development challenges of rural poverty and environmental damages. In this paper, a techno-economic analysis is carried out for electricity generation by using timber ...

Teacher education is constantly being renewed in response to continuous social, economic and technological changes. In 2008, teacher education in Iceland was extended from a three-year to a five-year master’s degree program and this significantly increased ...

This study presents analysis of a benchmark building installed with tuned mass dampers (TMDs) while subjected to wind and earthquake loads. Different TMD schemes are applied to reduce dynamic responses of the building under wind and earthquakes. The ...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to construct a means of assessing the feasibility of implementing innovation and entrepreneurial education (IEE) in schools. The study focuses on teaching IEE in middle school (Grades 5–7). Design/methodology/ ...

Ein leið til að sinna mannkostamenntun er að lesa bókmenntir og greina og ræða mannkosti í þeim með nemendum. Í þessari grein er fjallað um forsendur þess að nota Íslendingasögur til mannkostamenntunar með nemendum á unglingsaldri. Rætt er um mikilvægi ...

Rationale & Objective: Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimation based on creatinine or cystatin C level is currently the standard method for assessing GFR in epidemiologic research and clinical trials despite several important and well-known ...

Predator-prey relations, as well as the trophic ecology of highly migratory marine species, is important to understand their impact on the ecosystem. Conventional methods were used to study the diet composition and feeding strategy of the Northeast ...

In this work, we theoretically model the time-dependent transport through an asymmetric double quantum dot etched in a two-dimensional wire embedded in a far-infrared (FIR) photon cavity. For the transient and the intermediate time regimes, the current ...
