Binderless cubic boron nitride tools are available in two forms: single phase cBN and dual phase wBN/cBN (w is wurtzite phase). In this work, a novel heat treatment process involving surface heating using a continuous wave CO2 laser followed by tandem waterjet quenching of the laser beam path was applied to increase the hardness of both forms of boron nitride. Stress-induced phase transitions and
For interconnected systems and systems of large size, aggregating information of subsystems studied individually is useful for addressing the overall stability. In the Lyapunov- based analysis, summation and maximization of separately constructed functions are two typical approaches in such a philosophy. This paper focuses on monotone systems which are common in control applications and elucidates
Windowing of the transmitted blocks in a multicarrier system yields an improved spectral containment of the resulting basis functions, which allows larger transmit power compared to no windowing while fulfilling the power spectral density (PSD) requirements. Most transmit window designs proposed so far aim at maximising the mainlobe energy and thus the spectral containment of the transmit basis fu
Absolute quantification of cerebral blood flow, cerebral blood volume and mean transit time is desirable in the determination of tissue viability thresholds and tissue at risk in acute ischaemic stroke, as well as in cases where a global reduction in cerebral blood flow is expected, for example, in patients with dementia or depressive disorders. Absolute values are also useful when comparing seque

In this note the objectives of a project financed from European Community in the FP7 to realize a cleaning system for a syngas obtained from the gasification of biomass will be reported. In order to us the obtained sysngas can be transformed with further catalytic processes previously eliminating sulphur chlorine, COS, HCN NH3 and tars.
The authors treat the control of a chip refiner to produce wood pulp, where the incremental gain between the motor load and the plate gap is subject to sudden changes due to pad collapse. Passive adaptive control with fault detection, active suboptimal dual control, and dual-control solutions are discussed. For dual control, the choice of the control criterion is crucial, as it must reflect the pe
