Relations between information theory, robustness and statistical mechanics of stochastic uncertain systems via large deviation theory
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2006)
Robustness issues of stochastic uncertain controlled systems are intimately related to concepts from information theory and statistical mechanics. These relations are unveiled by using the theory of large deviations through ...
Modeling of multipoint correlations in turbulent flows

Crystal/glass phase change in KSb5S8 studied through thermal analysis techniques
(2004)
The reversible crystal-glass and glass-crystal transitions discovered in KSb5S8 were studied in detail with nonisothermal scanning calorimetry techniques. When cooled, molten KSb5S8 becomes a metastable glass, which can ...
Influence of polarization field on the lasing properties of III-nitride quantum wells
(2006)
A theoretical investigation of the effect of polarization-induced fields on the optoelectronic properties of a 3 nm In0.2Ga0.8N/GaN single quantum well has been carried out via a self-consistent solution of Schrödinger-Poisson ...
Thermal conduction in magnetized turbulent gas
(2003)
Using numerical methods, we systematically study in the framework of ideal MHD the effect of magnetic fields on heat transfer within a turbulent gas. We measure the rates of passive scalar diffusion within magnetized fluids ...
A review of proper modeling techniques
(2008)
A dynamic system model is proper for a particular application if it achieves the accuracy required by the application with minimal complexity. Because model complexity often-but not always-correlates inversely with simulation ...
Wall shear rates in circular couette flow of a Herschel-Bulkley fluid
(2009)
The objective of this work is to study quantitatively the errors introduced by the standard Newtonian and power-law assumptions used in the determination of the material properties of viscoplastic fluids from circular ...
Internal field effects on the lasing characteristics of InGaN/GaN quantum well lasers
(2008)
A theoretical investigation of Inx Ga1-x N/GaN single quantum well lasers with x in the range 0.05≤x≤0.3 is carried out via self-consistent Schrödinger-Poisson calculations in the effective mass approximation in order to ...
Tribological behavior of CrN and Al-Cr-N coatings
(Affiliation: Department of Mechanical Science and Engineering, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Urbana, IL 61801, United StatesAffiliation: Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, University of Cyprus, 1678, Nicosia, CyprusCorrespondence Address: Demas, N. G.Department of Mechanical Science and Engineering, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Urbana, IL 61801, United States, 2009)
The tribological behavior of CrN and Al-Cr-N coatings prepared by twin electron-beam evaporation at 450°C was investigated. The composition, structure, mechanical and tribological properties of the coatings were determined ...
Combined optimisation of design and power management of the hydraulic hybrid propulsion system for the 6 × 6 medium truck
(2004)
Hybrid propulsion systems are one of the critical technologies on the roadmap to future ultra-efficient trucks. While there is a significant body of work related to hybrid passenger cars and light commercial trucks, there ...
