We propose a theoretical model for ice growth under a wind-driven supercooled water film. The thickness and surface velocity of the water layer are variable by changing the air stream velocity. For a given water supply rate, linear stability analysis is carried out to study the morphological instability of the ice-wat…

Designers of nano-scale magnonic devices would benefit from methods of their evaluation that do not require one to access the microscopic level of description or to construct device prototypes. Here, we propose a numerical micromagnetics version of such a method, in which magnonic devices are considered as two-port li…

NiCrAlY coatings were deposited on Ni-based superalloy by high-velocity oxygen-fuel spraying (HVOF). Surface modification by means of grit-blasted, shot-peened and ground methods was used in order to study the effect of surface conditions on the isothermal oxidation behavior of HVOF-sprayed NiCrAlY coatings at 1 050 °…

The results of our study provide the magnetic switching behavior of a curled up Ni magnetic structure in comparison to the initially flat magnetic film. We used e-beam lithography, an electron beam evaporation system, and a wet etching technique to fabricate the magnetic curled up structure. Because of the different t…

A mechanism of the transformation of crystal lattices of borides under liquid boronizing of steels has been investigated. It has been shown that nonstoichiometric borides with an FeB or Fe 2 B structure were the structure-formation element of phases in the hardened layer. The origin of the high rate of the formation o…

Partial-thickness burn wounds can heal spontaneously, but full-thickness burns require skin grafting for definitive wound closure. Historically, the gold standard for closure of excised full-thickness burns is split-thickness skin autograft. Patients with very large burns have limited donor sites for harvesting of aut…
