Deformation defects and electron irradiation effect in nanostructured Al-Mg alloy processed by severe plastic deformation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)
In order to explore the exact nature of deformation defects previously observed in nanostructured Al-Mg alloys subjected to severe plastic deformation, a more thorough examination of the radiation effect on the formation ...
Finite element analysis of strain distribution in ZK60 Mg alloy during cyclic extrusion and compression
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)
Finite element method was used to study the strain distribution in ZK60 Mg alloy during multi-pass cyclic extrusion and compression (CEC). In order to optimize the CEC processing, the effects of friction condition and die ...
Riemannian formulation and comparison of color difference formulas
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)
Study of various color difference formulas by the Riemannian approach is useful. By this approach, it is possible to evaluate the performance of various color difference formulas having different color spaces for measuring ...
Sound Objects and Sound Products: Standardizing a New Culture of Listening in the First Half of the Twentieth Century
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)
In this chapter I develop the psychological underpinnings of environmental music
towards an understanding of how the goals of cognitive and behavioral psychologists
contributed to a new kind of listening at the beginning ...
Characterization and structure of precipitates in 6xxx Aluminium Alloys
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)
Solute atom nanoscale precipitates are responsible for the favourable mechanical properties of heat treatable aluminium alloys such as Al-Mg-Si (6xxx). The shape, structure and strengthening properties of age-hardening ...
Hydropower Project Ventures: Testing International Waters
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)
A vanguard project is an effective mechanism for testing new opportunities to deploy existing technologies into new markets in an effort to realize growth. Typically such endeavors are motivated by organizational needs to ...
Energy and buildings research: challenges from the new production of knowledge
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)
The current state and future challenges of energy and buildings research are explored from the perspective of the social study of science. Major trends in knowledge production are considered for practices within current ...
Characterization of airborne bacteria at an underground subway station
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)
The reliable detection of airborne biological threat agents depends on several factors, including the performance criteria of the detector and its operational environment. One step in improving the detector's performance ...
Bridging two worlds? The troubled transfer of new environmental knowledge from science to consulting engineers
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)
Today, there is widespread political optimism regarding the role of scientific knowledge as a driving force for innovation and economic growth. Could this lead us to overestimate science’s ability to provide innovation ...
Stratified flow over complex topography: A model study of the bottom drag and associated mixing
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)
The flow of stratified fluid over complex topography may lead to a significant drag on the fluid, exerted by the bottom obstacles. Using a 2-m resolution, three-dimensional, non hydrostatic numerical ocean model, the drag ...
