This paper discusses thepractical impact of a non-materialistic cultureon sustainable farm management.Two elements are discussed: first, how deeplyrooted religion is in this culture; second,the feasibility of using both human knowledgeand experience, so-called tradition and divineguidance in...

We use gold nanospheres (Au NSs) to improve the performance of polymer organic solar cells. Au NSs with a diameter of about 5 nm or 15 nm were doped into the buffer layer of organic solar cells. We attribute the efficiency improvement to the size-dependent localized surface plasmon...

The identification of small flaws in a conducting half-space or rectangular specimen using boundary measurements of the static magnetic field is considered. The perturbed magnetic field due to the presence of a small flaw is assumed to be generated by an equivalent current dipole located at the...

Wave-splitting of Maxwell's equations on a curved surface in three-dimension is derived from the conditions for out-going and in-coming waves. The condition for out-going wave is used to derive an absorbing boundary condition on a non-planar surface. A local approximation of the absorbing...

A time domain wave-splitting approach to the inverse problem for a hyperbolic differential equation in an inhomogeneous half-space is considered (the wave velocity is assumed to be constant). A layer stripping method is used to reconstruct the parameter in a non-iterative way, using the...
