The mechanisms of laser ablation of materials under the interaction of powerful pulsed laser radiation with a material coated with a thin film system were studied.One of the first models of such interaction of high-power laser radiation with matter was the thermal model.A onetemperature thermal Top Membrane model was used when considering the inter
Climatic extreme events, like droughts, heatwaves, and floods are becoming recurrent KOR CHEM and represent a threat to agriculture, lowering plant growth and productivity.The Mediterranean region is a climate-change hotspot, where traditional agricultural systems, like olive groves, are particularly challenged.Both the traditional and intensive sy
As improving fuel economy and performance through weight reduction in vehicles are recognized as important tasks, the defense industry is researching ways to reduce the weight of armor plates for combat vehicles and increase bulletproof performance and durability.Most armor plates in combat vehicles are manufactured using weld joints.High-hardness
Ultrasonic flow meters (UFMs) based on transducer arrays offer several advantages.With electronic beam Mugs steering, it is possible to tune the steering angle of the beam for optimal signal-tonoise ratio (SNR) upon reception.Moreover, multiple beams can be generated to propagate through different travel paths, covering a wider section of the flow
Background: Two of main characteristics of the Latin American conjugal union pattern are the early entry into first union and the increasing proportion of informal unions.These features have been associated, respectively, with the strong presence and role of family ties in promoting economic and social stability and with changing attitudes in Netwo
