Multi-scale and multiphase modeling of abrasive flow machining process with experimental validation by Mohamed Adel Abdelhakem Amen

“…The flexibility and nature of the AFM tool introduce considerable complexity to evaluate the abrasion action, its material removal (MR), the particle forces, and the detailed rules controlling this particle-surface interaction. The process gets more complex for irregular shapes to the workpiece surface and the abrasive particle which is the real case. …”

Essays on blood supply management by Senga, Juan Ramon Liboro

“…We find that if the objective function is to maximize number of donations, blood banks would focus on retaining those who have already donated rather than getting new donors. However, this leaves the blood bank vulnerable to having an older donor pool. …”

The effects of atmosphere-ocean-wave coupling during tropical cyclone by Garg, Nikhil

“…Within this coupled system, it can be thought that the ocean waves generated at the sea surface are due to the momentum transfer from atmosphere, which subsequently gets transferred to ocean. This transfer of momentum (from atmosphere to ocean) is not a one-way link, i.e., there are feedback effects from ocean (both in terms of enthalpy and momentum) on the atmospheric boundary layer. …”

Development of resistive random access memory for next-generation embedded non-volatile memory application by Sun, Jianxun

“…Besides, the variability of the forming voltage also gets improved by more than 50%. On the contrary, the inhibition effect of the negative voltage is observed for the set process, which implies that the role of the negative voltage varies with the state of the device. …”
