Determining whether the metals components are clean or are adequately lubricated with oil is often important in a manufacturing process. Infrared analysis of tiny, flat pieces can be readily performed ...

Quarterly of Applied Mathematics, Vol. 72, No. 4 (December 2014), pp. 731-745 (15 pages) An analytical approach is proposed to study the contribution of edge effects in the multiple high-frequency ...

The impact of liquid drops on solid surfaces is ubiquitous in nature, and of practical importance in many industrial processes. A drop hitting a flat surface retains a circular symmetry throughout the ...

Nucleation and growth is the dominant relaxation mechanism driving first-order phase transitions. In two-dimensional flat systems, nucleation has been applied to a wide range of problems in physics, ...
