AbstractIn this study, good dispersion status of graphite in a nonpolar, intractable polymer, i.e. polypropylene (PP), was realized in melt processing by using a specific dynamic packing injection...
View ArticleNumerical methods for high-power Er/Yb-codoped fiber amplifiers
AbstractWe present effective methods for the numerical simulation of high-power-pumped continuous-wave (CW) and pulsed erbium–ytterbium-codoped fiber amplifiers (EYDFAs). For CW EYDFAs, a novel initial...
View ArticleVLL: a lock manager redesign for main memory database systems
AbstractLock managers are increasingly becoming a bottleneck in database systems that use pessimistic concurrency control. In this paper, we introduce very lightweight locking (VLL), an alternative...

AbstractEndothelial dysfunction plays a vital role during the initial stage of atherosclerosis. Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) induces vascular endothelial injury and vessel wall...
View ArticleDistribution and source identification of dissolved sulfate by dual isotopes...
AbstractSulfur and oxygen isotopes were employed to identify SO42− sources in surface water and groundwater in the Babu subterranean river basin (BSRB). Our study revealed SO42− enrichment in the BSRB...
View ArticleAccurate and precise determination of lead isotope composition in selected...
AbstractLead (Pb) isotopes have been extensively employed in tracing sources of Pb and its transport pathways through the environment. However, Pb isotopic ratios in related geochemical reference...
View ArticleSharp corner transitional trajectory planning based on arc splines in glass...
AbstractThe sharp corners on final contours in flat glass grinding can cause broken wheel center trajectories. A corner transitional trajectory planning algorithm based on arc splines is proposed in...
View ArticleNURBS toolpath planning for glass sharp corner edge grinding
AbstractIn this paper, a transition toolpath planning algorithm is proposed to achieve sharp corner edge grinding in personalized glass products manufacturing. The developed algorithm is based on a...
