The NiCoCrAlYTa coating was prepared on Ni-based single crystal super-alloys by low pressure plasma spraying (LPPS). The phases and microstructures for the coatings were characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy, and the fracture toughness and micro-hardness for both...

In this paper, we consider BSDEs with a Lipschitz coefficient reflected on one discontinuous (r.c.l.l.) barrier. We prove the convergence of the solutions of the penalized equations to the solution of the RBSDE.

The electronic structures and optical properties of pure, N-doped and N-F codoped ZnO are investigated based on the density-functional theory. The calculations of the impurity formation energies and ionization energies for these systems indicate that incorporating the reactive donor F into N...

The optimization of wind power capacity for an electric power system is studied with the system operation, economy and reliability emphasized. The economic aspect is evaluated in view of the system-wide social cost, which includes the social cost of conventional and wind electricity generation,...
