    We recall theoretical studies on transient transport through interacting mesoscopic systems. It is shown that a generalized master equation (GME) written and solved in terms of many-body states provides the suitable formal framework to capture both the ...
  • Liu, Ying; Cheng, Qingsha S.; Koziel, Slawomir (MDPI AG, 2019-07-11)
    In this article, a generalized sequential domain patching (GSDP) method for efficient multi-objective optimization based on electromagnetics (EM) simulation is proposed. The GSDP method allowing fast searching for Pareto fronts for two and three ...

    Viðfangsefni þessarar ritgerðar er hagnýting verkefnastjórnunar, og skyldra fagsviða, til að tryggja hagkvæmni og skilvirkni opinberra verkefna á Íslandi. Fjallað er um hvernig verkefnastjórnun og stjórnsýsla (governance) hafa þróast saman á alþjóðavettvangi ...
  • Meirbekova, Rauan (2016-02)
    Current efficiency loss in aluminum electrolysis happens due to a variety of factors. One such factor is the presence of impurities. Concerns about impurities have been voiced since the quality of raw materials has declined and dry-scrubbers were ...
  • Meirbekova, Rauan; Haarberg, Geir Martin; Thonstad, Jomar; Saevarsdottir, Gudrun Arnbjorg (The Electrochemical Society, 2017)
    Many factors may contribute to loss of current efficiency (CE) in aluminum reduction and one of them is a presence of impurities. In this work, the effect of phosphorus on CE is studied in a laboratory cell at different current densities. Due to a ...

    Obese children are usually less active than their normal-weight counterparts, although the reasons for this remain unclear. The objective of the present study was to determine how a long-term program (3 years of intervention and 6 months of follow-up ...
  • Sitek, Anna; Ţolea, Mugurel; Niţă, Marian; Serra, Llorenç; Gudmundsson, Vidar; Manolescu, Andrei (Springer Nature, 2017-01-10)
    We study Coulomb interacting electrons confined in polygonal quantum rings. We focus on the interplay of localization at the polygon corners and Coulomb repulsion. Remarkably, the Coulomb repulsion allows the formation of in-gap states, i.e., ...
