The pre-treatment of substrate surfaces prior to deposition is important for the adhesion of physical vapour deposition coatings.This work investigates Si surfaces after the bombardment by energetic Cr ions which are created in cathodic arc discharges.The effect of the pre-treatment is analysed by X-ray diffraction, Rutherford backscattering spectr
Power equipment supplier evaluation under a q-rung orthopair fuzzy set based decision making model
The quality performance of power equipment suppliers is directly related to the stable and safe operation of the grid.This study presents a decision-making model based on q-rung orthopair fuzzy sets (q-ROFS) to evaluate suppliers, focusing on quality as the key criterion.To assess Bay Leave the objectivity and comprehensiveness of the results, we p
Does repeated exposure to hydrogen peroxide induce Candida auris resistance?
Abstract Background To minimize environmental colonization by microorganisms that may persist and thrive in healthcare settings, thus reducing healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), new insights over already known biocides are certainly of relevance.Although the efficacy of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) against the emergent yeast Candida auris is mode
Discovering Topic Representative Terms for Short Text Clustering
Clustering short texts are one of the most important text analysis methods to help extract knowledge from online social media platforms, such as Twitter, Facebook, and Weibo.However, the instant features (such as abbreviation and informal expression) and the limited length of short texts challenge the clustering Side Camera task.Fortunately, short
Effect of Exhaust System on Diesel Engine Performance
The function of the exhaust silencers is to reduce the noise level to an acceptable value to avoid the risk of ear damage when exposed to such noises for long periods.The drawback of the presence of asilencer is the high back pressure created due to restricting the gas flow or according to the pressure drop in the attenuating elements within the si
