Deformation anisotropy and lamellar α re-orientation of TC17 alloy under the different slip modes of HCP structure by Cong Li, Jiao Luo

“…Therein, the variation of the rotation factor with tilt angle conforms to the quadratic function, reaching a maximum value around 45°. When the rotation factor is small, the ratio of (01–11) [1–210] slip system with small Burgers vector at the phase boundary is large, the rotation tendency is poor, and the intragranular dislocation slip replaces the grain rotation as the strain accommodation mechanism, the lamella is more prone to globularization. …”

A Comparative Study of Storage Batteries for Electrical Energy Produced by Photovoltaic Panels by Petru Livinti

“…The work involved the construction of a model in MATLAB-Simulink for controlling the loading/unloading of storage batteries with energy produced by photovoltaic panels through a buck-type DC-DC convertor, controlled by means of the MPPT algorithm implemented through the method of incremental conductance based on a MATLAB function. The program for the MATLAB function was developed by the author in the C++ programming environment. …”

Tremor and its duration‐amplitude distribution at Popocatépetl volcano, Mexico by R. Arámbula‐Mendoza, C. Valdés‐González, N. Varley, T. A. Reyes‐Pimentel, B. Juárez‐García

“…Abstract The duration‐amplitude distribution was calculated for the tremor observed at Popocatépetl volcano during episodes of activity in 2000 and 2012–2014. An exponential function was used to obtain a good fit for the duration‐amplitude distribution, and the source of volcanic tremor is probably generated by the transportation of magmatic fluids and its coupling with the host rock within the volcanic conduit. …”
