The nanostructure, wear and corrosion performance of arc-evaporated CrBxNy nanocomposite coatings
(2009)
The composition, nanostructure, tribological and corrosion behaviour of reactive arc evaporated CrBxNy coatings have been studied and compared to CrN. The CrBxNy coatings were deposited on a commercial Oerlikon Balzers RCS ...
Nanostructure, mechanical and tribological properties of reactive magnetron sputtered TiCx coatings
(2008)
This study describes the correlation between microstructure, mechanical and tribological properties of TiCx coatings (with x being in the range of 0–1.4), deposited by reactive magnetron sputtering from a Ti target in ...
Deposition and nanotribological characterization of Sub-100-nm thick protective Ti-based coatings for miniature applications
(2011)
Ti-based protective thin films with thicknesses below 100 nm, intended for miniature applications were deposited using physical vapor deposition magnetron sputtering. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy, ...
Tribological properties of twin electron-beam evaporated Cr-N and Al-Cr-N coatings under laboratory sliding and drill experiments
(2008)
The tribological behavior of substoichiometric Cr-N and Al-Cr-N coatings prepared by twin electron-beam evaporation at 450°C was studied. Al-Cr-N coatings with Al to Cr ratios in the range of 1-8 (and nitrogen concentrations ...
Regional aerosol deposition in the human airways: The SimInhale benchmark case and a critical assessment of in silico methods
(2018)
Regional deposition effects are important in the pulmonary delivery of drugs intended for the topical treatment of respiratory ailments. They also play a critical role in the systemic delivery of drugs with limited lung ...
Optimizing the Detection Performance of Smart Camera Networks Through a Probabilistic Image-Based Model
(2018)
Networks of smart cameras, equipped with on-board processing and communication infrastructure, are increasingly being deployed in a variety of different application fields, such as security and surveillance, traffic ...
Ball Milling Effect on the CO2 Uptake of Mafic and Ultramafic Rocks: A Review
(2018)
Mineral carbonation is considered to be the most stable mechanism for the sequestration of CO2. This study comprises a comparative review of the effect of ball milling on the CO2 uptake of ultramafic/mafic lithologies, ...
An efficient computational fluid-particle dynamics method to predict deposition in a simplified approximation of the deep lung
(2018)
High-fidelity simulations of the complete airway tree are still largely beyond current computational capabilities. Towards large-scale simulations of the human lung, the current study introduces a numerical methodology to ...
Targeted Drug Delivery to Upper Airways Using a Pulsed Aerosol Bolus and Inhaled Volume Tracking Method
(2019)
The pulmonary route presents an attractive delivery pathway for topical treatment of lung diseases. While significant progress has been achieved in understanding the physical underpinnings of aerosol deposition in the ...
