This study compares the environmental impacts of a polycrystalline photovoltaic (PV) module and a wind turbine using the life cycle assessment (LCA) method. This study models landfill disposal and recycling scenarios of the decommissioned PV module and wind turbine, and compares their impacts to...

The effects of electromigration on copper in carbon nanotube (CNT) channels are investigated using molecular dynamics simulations. The study shows that the potential energy of copper and the resistive forces on copper are dependent on the shape of the CNT junction, and the increase in bias...

This paper presents classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of an aluminum slab under a premelting condition. The aluminum surface is set at the (110) orientation. We have used a simple analytical form of an embedded-atom-method (EAM) potential to describe the inter-atomic interactions of...

Purpose – Planning and control of humanoid biped walking has been an active research topic for many years. But, there is no definite answer to the question of how to practicre‐examinedally achieve speedy and stable walking in real‐time and in a changing environment. The purpose of this...

This paper presents molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of DNA oligonucleotide and water molecules translocating through carbon nanotube (CNT) channels. Induced pressure difference is applied to the system by pushing a layer of water molecules towards the flow direction to drive the...
