The electrical breakdown and field emission are important factors which limit the maximum electric field of rf cavities and performance of high gradient accelerators. In order to improve our understanding of rf breakdown, ...

The feasibility of multifunctional applications of electrically conductive asphalt concrete is investigated. The conductive asphalt concrete has a huge potential for various multifunctional applications such as self-healing, ...

Samples of strained germanium-silicon (Ge-Si) alloy were electrically characterized using resistivity and Hall-mobility measurements. The samples were obtained from a n-type Ge-Si strained epi-layer which was grown on a ...

Mesoscopic materials typically have different properties compared to bulk materials because their dimensions can be smaller than certain characteristic lengths. Transport measurements on mesoscopic-sized disordered materials ...

Steam turbine cogeneration is a well established technology which is widely used in industry. However, smaller previously unfeasible applications can now be cost effective due to the packaged system approach which has ...

The American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) defines an energy audit through a multi-tiered stratagem characterized by the level of in-depth analysis. The Level 1, or walkthrough ...

The Demand Management Plan set forth in this paper has proven to be a viable action to reduce a 3 million per year electric bill at the Columbus Works location of Western Electric. Measures are outlined which have reduced ...

Beginning January 1, 2002, Texas' electric industry is opening to customer choice, giving consumers the power to choose the company that provides their electricity. Under electrical deregulation in Texas, there are three ...

The objective of this research is to evaluate the performance of ZrB₂ infiltrated with copper as an alternative material system to the standard electrodes of copper and graphite used in electrical discharged machining ...
