Existing anonymity systems sacrifice anonymity for efficient communication or vice-versa. Onion-routing achieves low latency, high bandwidth, and scalable anonymous communication, but is susceptible to traffic analysis attacks. Designs based on DC-Nets, on the other hand, protect the users against traffic analysis attacks, but sacrifice bandwidth. ...
The proposed new rotor support element consists of a hydrodynamic bearing and a magnetorheological squeeze film damper. The damping is controlled by the change of resistance against the flow of magnetorheological fluid due to action of a magnetic field generated by electric current powering the electric coils. This paper deals with the study of the...
Problems related to scattering phenomena of the antisymmetric fundamental Lamb wave mode with an adhesively bonded lap joint containing a disbond in the adhesive layer is being solved within the framework of this paper. Overall, two methods are used in order to identify energy scattering coefficients of reflected as well as transmitted Lamb waves. ...
Large scale systems of algebraic equations are frequently solved by iterative solution methods, such as the conjugate gradient method for symmetric or a generalized conjugate gradient or generalized minimum residual method for nonsymmetric linear systems. In practice, to get an acceptable elapsed computing time when solving large scale problems, on...
Great attention has been paid to using biochar as soil conditioner and bio-accumulator. Nevertheless, biochar application in agriculture might cause a potential hazard to ecosystems, considering that toxic organic pollutants present in biochar may enter the environment. European Biochar Certificate (EBC) set certain criteria for biochar production....
Dislocation nucleation and interface sliding are two dominant plasticity events governing the mechanical behavior of metallic nanocomposites. Recent works have shown that both events can be closely related to atomistic interface geometries, however, how compositional factors, e.g., segregated hydrogen clusters, contribute both events are nearly unk...
The main aim of the research was to estimate mercury emissions from three selected power plants in the Czech Republic, where lignite is burnt, as well as to conduct a comprehensive measurement of Hg in fuels, fly ash and desulfurization products. The average concentrations of the mercury in fuel were as follows: for Power Plant 1 it was 0.19 +/- 0....
Evolution of alpha microstructure on the thermomechanical treated Ti-10Al-1Zr-1Mo-1Nb alloy during annealing was studied. The solution-treated materials were groove-rolled or uniaxially compressed in the alpha+beta region and annealed at 1173 K. The flow softening behavior and crystal rotation in alpha platelets revealed an evolution of deformation...
Developing efficient techniques to bridge single-plasmon radiations to nanoscale plasmonic waveguides nowadays is still a critical consideration for on-chip integration of solid-state photonic circuits. Here, we propose and theoretically demonstrate the generation and routing of single plasmons in nanowire-based hybrid plasmonic coupling structures...
