Many viruses, such as coronaviruses, tend to spread airborne inside water microdroplets.Evaporation of the microdroplets may result in a reduction of their contagiousness.However, the evaporation of small droplets is a complex process involving mass and heat transfer, diffusion, convection and solar radiation absorption.Virological studies indicate
The nanosecond speed of information writing and reading is recognized as one of the main advantages of next-generation non-volatile ferroelectric memory based on hafnium oxide thin films.However, the kinetics of polarization switching in this material have a complex nature, and despite the high speed of internal switching, the real speed can deteri
In this study claims that music communicates gendered meanings are considered, Shirts and relevant literature is reviewed.We first discuss the nature of meaning in music, and how it is constructed and construed.Examples of statements of gendering in the literature are cited, and the problems identified by writers who have questioned their validity
Gender issues, and specifically the lack of women in the physical sciences, has been a subject of intense debate for decades.The problem is so acute, that national initiatives have been developed to analyse and address the issues, with some success in STEM, Mini Breastplate particularly in higher education and also in industry.However, despite this
In this study, the effective patch radius expression for the circular microstrip antennas is improved by means of several manipulations.Departing from Mini Breastplate previously proposed equations in the literature, one of the most accurate equations is picked up, and this equation is fine-tuned by means of Particle Swarm Optimization technique.Th
