Mortar thermal storage layers incorporating Vinpocetine phase change material (PCM) can improve the thermal performance of radiant floors in buildings, reduce indoor temperature fluctuations and thus provide further savings in building heating energy consumption, offering great potential for the application of active thermal energy storage systems.
MISSION PROFILE AND DESIGN CHALLENGES FOR MARS LANDING EXPLORATION
An orbiter and a descent module will be delivered to Mars in the Chinese first Mars exploration mission.The descent module is composed of a landing platform and a rover.The module will be released into the atmosphere by the orbiter and make a controlled landing on Martian surface.After landing, the Mattress Collection rover will egress from the pla
BASS: An R Package for Fitting and Performing Sensitivity Analysis of Bayesian Adaptive Spline Surfaces
We present the R package BASS as a tool for nonparametric regression.The primary focus of the package is fitting fully Bayesian adaptive spline surface (BASS) models and performing global sensitivity analyses of these models.The BASS framework is similar to that of Bayesian multivariate adaptive regression splines (BMARS) from Denison, Mallick, and
Tuning the photoluminescence of CdTe quantum dots by controllable coupling to plasmonic Au nanoparticles
A controllable variation of the photoluminescence (PL) intensity of semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) via their coupling Mechanical Drain Pump Pulley to plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs) is the potential basis for optoelectronic and sensing applications.In this work, the effect of Au NPs on the PL of colloidal CdTe QDs is investigated in solution and so
