The purpose of this work is to evaluate the potential for enhancing the performance of the once-through PWR fuel cycle by appropriate design of thorium containing fuel with concurrent consideration of neutronics, ...

The socioeconomic condition of the urban migrant worker remains one of the most substantial manifestations of inequality in China. The ever-growing wealth and human rights disparity between urban citizens and rural farmers ...

Organic optoelectronic devices are appealing for low-performance applications on very low cost and flexible substrates, due to their low-temperature processing. However, it still remains a challenge to develop suitable ...

We present a comprehensive study of field emitter arrays with or without an integrated focus electrode. The former configuration is referred to as field emitter with integrated focus (IFE-FEA) or double-gate FEA (DG-FEA). ...

The ability to detect biomolecules in real-time and without the use of labels has significant benefits for systems biology in terms of cost, time and throughput. Cantilever-based micromechanical sensors detect biomolecular ...

A paradigm of micro-mechanical gates for field produceable logic is explored. A desktop manufacturing system is sought after which is capable of printing functional logic devices in the field. A logic scheme which induces ...
