Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is rapidly gathering momentum in the private, public and non-profit sectors over the last few years. First, the old business concept of placing profits and shareholders before principles ...

Conventional metallic coatings such as Ni and Zn are extensively used in corrosion protection applications. In most studies on the corrosion behavior of metallic coatings, the emphasis is on correlating morphology and ...

The Ni-P alloy coatings are widely studied due to their superior mechanical and tribological properties. Ni-P coatings are also considered to be a viable alternative to the chromium (Cr) coatings which utilize environmentally ...

This thesis is divided into four chapters. In Chapter 1, we give some basic definitions and results that we need throughout the thesis. In Chapter 2, we describe the pn0;n1q-Toom model and prove some known results about ...

Opportunistic selection is a key technique to improve the performance of wireless systems. In it, the best set of users among the available ones is selected on the basis of their instantaneous channel gains or local ...

The thesis embodies the results of the investigations on the corrosion of zirconium in nitrate melts. The predicted thermodynamic behaviour of zirconium in 2-component NaNO?-KNO? eutectic melts based on E-pO diagrams ...

Switched mode power converters are a major source of conducted electromagnetic interference (EMI). The popular technique for mitigation of conducted EMI uses EMI filters. EMI filters may be classified in two types based ...

Hasse’s theorem states that:ifE {W g) Then |i| < 2y/q. This gives the bound on the number of points. In 1985, Schoof presented a polynomial time algorithm for computing The algorithm has running time of 0(log® q) bit ...

In a nuclear fuel cask, the heat generating spent fuel rods are packed in a housing and the resulting bundle is placed inside a cask of thick outer shell made of materials like lead or concrete. The cask presents a wide ...
