MULTI-PHASE-FIELD MODELING AND HIGH-PERFORMANCE COMPUTATION FOR PREDICTING MATERIAL MICROSTRUCTURE EVOLUTION DURING SINTERING

Multi-phase-field modeling and high-performance computation for predicting material microstructure evolution during sintering

As the properties of sintered products are considerably affected by the microstructures formed during sintering, numerical simulation is essential for predicting and controlling microstructures with high accuracy.Although the phase-field method can reproduce sintered microstructures with the highest accuracy, its high computational cost has limited

RFID Batch Authentication—A Usable Scheme Providing Anonymity

Businesses are slowly replacing Universal Product Code (barcodes used for tracking items) with radio-frequency identification (RFID).Unlike a barcode, RFID tag does not need to be within the line of sight of the reader, and can be interrogated from up to hundreds of meters from the reader in the Espresso Machine (Manual) case of active tag.Some rea

Uncertainty analysis of a spatially explicit annual water-balance model: case study of the Cape Fear basin, North Carolina

There is an increasing demand for assessment of water provisioning ecosystem services.While simple models with low data and expertise requirements are attractive, their use as decision-aid tools should be supported by uncertainty characterization.We assessed the performance of the InVEST annual water yield model, a popular tool for ecosystem servic
