Enhancement of quasiparticle recombination in Ta and Al superconductors by implantation of magnetic and nonmagnetic atoms
No full textThe quasiparticle recombination time in superconducting films, consisting of the standard electron-phonon interaction and a yet to be identified low-temperature process, is studied for different densities of magnetic and nonmagnetic atoms. For both Ta and Al, implanted with Mn, Ta, and Al, we observe an increase in the recombination rate. We conclude that the enhancement of recombination is not due to the magnetic moment, but arises from an enhancement of disorder.Kavli Institute of NanoscienceApplied Science
Tu Tu Tu - Ta Ta
No full textTu tu tu - Ta ta is a five-sound pattern produced by the Afro-Latin instrument known as clave. The clave serves as a fundamental rhythmic cell, integral to every Afro-Latin and Latin American traditional genre. This pattern forms the foundation and structure of the music, guiding the arrangement and direction of all other instruments. In this project, the author metaphorically uses tu tu tu - ta ta to represent the concept of home, symbolizing the key to one\u27s inner roots and the map to one\u27s own heart. Through this metaphor, tu tu tu - ta ta is explored as the sound of home, encapsulating the essence of belonging and identity.https://remix.berklee.edu/graduate-studies-cmat/1105/thumbnail.jp
ISDN Terminal Adaptor for circuit switched data (TA-csd)
No full textOm de bestaande niet-ISDN terminals te kunnen aansluiten op het ISDN, zijn Terminal Adaptors (TA's) nodig. De TA is een apparaat dat de transmissiesnelheid van de bestaande terminal (50 tot en met 64000 bps) converteert naar de snelheid van de ISDN terminal (64000 bps). Daarnaast verzorgt TA het ISDN D-kanaal signalerings-protocol. Vooral de TA's voor circuit geschakelde datatoepassingen (TA-csd's) komen hier aan de orde. De onderwerpen zoals de functionele beschrijving van een TA-csd, de functionele architectuur van een TA-csd en de informatie uitwisselingsprocedures tussen de terminal en de TA-csd (nodig voor het opbouwen en verbreken van data-verbindingen, het instellen van parameters in de TA-csd en het uitvoeren van tests) zijn beschreven.Applied SciencesElectrotechniekAutomatische Verkeerssysteme

Despite the fact that he is partly known with his works he performed in the field of literary history, the author also has a spirit of poesy which needs to be studied in detail.Although Sadeddin Nüzhet entered the literary life with poems he wrote in his student years, later he got further away from this genre and devoted himself to scientific research. Despite this, his poems which were published in newspapers and magazines such as Milli Mecmua, Yeni Fikir, Kervan and he wrote with syllable and syllablemetrics are works of art showing that his literary character is also strong. Especially his gazels he created under the influence of divan poetry provided to be accepted him as one of the last representatives of tradition.In this works, Sadeddin Nüzhet s life was studied as part of the identity of his sufi, composer, compiler, literary historians; his poetidentity and his poems are also emphasized. After giving general information about his works, the poems that were determined were examined as form and content, presented to the reader as a whole at the end of the work. Thus, by pointing to a different as pect of Sadeddin Nüzhet, who can not see the value he deserves in the literary community, his work has been tried to be shown in terms of the divan poetry tradition
The Questions of Hermeneutic TA: Towards a Toolbox
No full textThe present chapter begins by exploring whether the project of a hermeneutic technology assessment (TA) squares well with some of TA's most fundamental presuppositions and commitments including, for instance, to provide assessments that are relevant for policymakers and can guide the shaping of emerging technologies in a responsible manner. If – as will be shown – the hermeneutic idea can be coherently established within TA, we must ask what does an understanding of emerging technologies in their guise as futuristic narratives entail? Which questions do we have to ask, to gain a better understanding of future technologies in their manifold present representations? The present chapter approaches these questions by examining the cases of nanotechnology and “Slaughterbots.” This will result in a demarcation of various dimensions and a list of questions about the origins and guise of those narratives that can be posed at other narratives of this sort. Taken together, this chapter makes some major steps towards a toolkit for applying the hermeneutic research lens to various socio-technical visions and narratives.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Ethics & Philosophy of Technolog

Synthesis and oxidation behaviour of Ta-Al-C MAX phases
No full textMAX-phase materials, a class of ternary carbides and nitrides that combine favorable properties of metals (conductivity and toughness) and ceramics (high temperature strength) have been shown to autonomously heal micro-cracks by high temperature oxidation. The investigation of Ta and Al containing MAX phases (Ta2AlC & Ta4AlC3) could render self-healing materials at lower temperatures. Mixed (Ta2AlC and Ta4AlC3) and pure dense bulk Ta2AlC MAX phase was synthesized by spark plasma sintering (SPS) of elemental powders. The oxidation reactions of Ta-Al-C MAX phase powders were studied with differential thermal analysis (DTA). The oxidation kinetics of dense bulk Ta-Al-C MAX phase was studied by thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). The microstructure and composition of the MAX phase materials and its oxides was characterized by X-ray diffractometry (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray microanalysis with electron probe microanalysis (EPMA), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Linear oxidation kinetics, inward oxide growth and formation of mainly porous Ta-oxides were observed for isothermal oxidation of dense bulk Ta2AlC and mixed MAX phase. Based on the results obtained in this work, the oxides scales formed in the 600 – 800 °C temperature range are believed to consist of various metastable and/or amorphous oxides. Full oxidation of the MAX phase above 900 °C results in the formation of Ta2O5 and ternary TaAlO4. It was found that TaAl-C MAX phases cannot self-heal microcracks by formation of a protective oxide scale at elevated temperatures.Mechanical, Maritime and Materials EngineeringMaterial Science and Engineerin
Direct numerical simulation of turbulent Taylor-Couette flow with grooved walls
No full textWe present direct numerical simulations of Taylor-Couette flow with grooved walls up to inner cylinder Reynolds number of , corresponding to Taylor number of . The simulations are performed at a fixed radius ratio . The grooves are axisymmetric V-shaped obstacles attached to the wall with a tip angle of . Results are compared with the smooth wall case in order to investigate the effects of the grooved walls. In particular, we focus on the effective scaling laws for torque, boundary layers and flow structures. With increasing , the boundary layer thickness finally becomes smaller than the groove height. When this happens, the plumes are ejected from tips of the grooves and a secondary circulation between the grooves is formed. This is associated with a sharp increase of the torque and thus the effective scaling law for the torque becomes much steeper. Further increasing does not result in an additional slope increases. Instead, the effective scaling law saturates to the same ``ultimate'' regime effective exponents seen for smooth walls
Static and dynamic properties of Co2FeAl thin films: Effect of MgO and Ta as capping layers
No full textThe influence of MgO and Ta capping layers on the static and dynamic magnetic properties of Co2FeAl (CFA) Heusler alloy thin films has been investigated. It is observed that the CFA film deposited with MgO capping layer is preeminent compared to the uncapped or Ta capped CFA film. In particular, the magnetic inhomogeneity contribution to the ferromagnetic resonance line broadening and damping constant are found to be minimal for the MgO capped CFA thin film i.e., 0.12±0.01 Oe and 0.0074±0.00014, respectively. The saturationmagnetization was found to be 960±25emu/cc.</p
