This work is mainly on the detection of the bulk acoustic waves (BAWs), where we have compared two Lithium Niobate cuts (Y-Z and Y-X), during the propagation of the acoustic microwaves in the piezoelectric LiNbO3-substrate. In this paper, we have used the classification by Probabilistic Neural Network (PNN) as a tool for numerical analysis in which we classify all the values of the real and imaginary parts of the attenuation coefficient for the propagation velocity. This analysis can allow us to demonstrate the best possibility in utilization for the BAW generation. This study will be very interesting in modeling and realization of acoustic wave devices (ultrasound) based on the propagation of acoustic microwaves.

In order to illustrate the criteria relating to static and dynamic performance, complexity of design, implementation and decoupling, a comparison was made between two asynchronous machine control techniques which are the direct torque control under the base of the SVM (DTC-SVM) and the predictive torque control (MPDTC). The results show the merits of these two control strategies with respect to the variations of the load setpoint for the torque and its influence on the speed and were obtained using a simulation program under the environment Matlab / Simulink

Within the majority of contexts, it is persons that are considered to be competent or incompetent. However, in many cases it is the performance of groups and teams that is most important. This implies a concept of collective competence that integrates the set of skills in a group. In addition, the collective competence construction process is also enriched through collaboration which implies exchanges, confrontations, negotiations and interpersonal interactions. This paper presents our CSCW-based approach supporting collective competence construction. As a case of study, the industrial maintenance workspace is fundamentally a collaborative context. Our contribution in this area led us first, to analyse the related task in order to highlight collaborative maintenance vital needs and design the appropriate required group awareness supports which will be used to support collective competence. Finally, the experimentation study identifies the highly effective group awareness tools.

A continuous and accurate model based on the two-dimensional (2D) potential solution of a tunnel field-effect transistor (TFET) with undoped vertical surrounding-gate (VSG) structure is proposed. Both ambipolarity and dual modulation effects are included to obtain a more accurate analytical model, whose validity is demonstrated by comparison with two-dimensional numerical simulations using ATLAS-2D. The continuity of the proposed model enables extraction of analog/radiofrequency (RF) parameters and device figures of merit. Moreover, the effect of introducing a high-κ layer on the gate oxide in improving the behavior of the VSG-TFET is explored for use in high-performance analog/RF applications. The proposed continuous analytical model can be easily implemented in commercial simulators to study and investigate VSG-TFET-based nanoelectronic circuits.

The goal of this study was to assess the effects of chromium on the immune parameters in the pregnant rats.
