Optical and Electrical Properties of TiO2/Co/TiO2 Multilayer Films Grown by DC Magnetron Sputtering by Marcos G. Valluzzi, Lucas G. Valluzzi, Marcos Meyer, María A. Hernández-Fenollosa, Laura C. Damonte

“…The samples were characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM), and Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM). The effect of Co interlayer thickness (4, 8, and 12 nm) on the transmittance spectra yielded an optical absorption edge shift. …”

‘If this is of God’: Choosing to Curse in Ghanaian Charismatic Christianity by Mark S. Aidoo

“…This essay reflects on the cursing prayers of Bishop Dag Heward-Mills, the founder and Presiding Bishop of Lighthouse Chapel International, and Pastor Kelvin Elson Godson, founder of Zoe Outreach Embassy, Ogbodjo, Accra to explore their religious, ethical, and cultural justifications in contemporary neo-Charismatic ministries in Ghana in light of the African religious and cultural values. …”

Heat Capacity and Thermodynamic Property of Lithium Pentaborate Pentahydrate by Wanjing Cui, Long Li, Yafei Guo, Sisi Zhang, Tianlong Deng

“…The molar heat capacity of LiB5O8·5H2O can be expressed as Cp,m (J·mol−1·K−1) = 396.79376 + 35.87528 [T-(Tmax+Tmin)/2]/[(Tmax-Tmin)/2] + 0.16494[T-(Tmax+Tmin)/2]/[(Tmax-Tmin)/2]2 + 8.3083[T-(Tmax+Tmin)/2]/[(Tmax-Tmin)/2]3, where T is the temperature in Kelvin, Tmax=375 K, and Tmin=297 K. The thermodynamic functions of (HT-H298.15), (ST-S298.15), and (GT-G298.15) of LiB5O8·5H2O are obtained via the molar heat capacity at the temperature of 5 K intervals.…”

Interannual Variability of the Indonesian Throughflow in the Makassar Strait Associated With the 2015/2016 Super El Niño by Wending Xu, Dongliang Yuan, Mingting Li

“…These anomalies of the Makassar Strait throughflow in the upper layer are found to be induced mainly by Indian Ocean Kelvin waves forcing sea surface height anomalies off the south Java coasts. …”

Uniform stabilization of a coupled structural acoustic system by boundary dissipation by Mehmet Camurdan

“…This overall model differs from those previously studied in the literature in that the elastic chamber floor is here more realistically modeled by a hyperbolic Kirchoff equation, rather than by a parabolic Euler-Bernoulli equation with Kelvin-Voight structural damping, as in past literature. …”

Simulation and analysis of marine hydrodynamics based on the El Niño scenario by M. Ikhwan, R. Wafdan, Y. Haditiar, M. Ramli, Z. Muchlisin, S. Rizal

“…FINDINGS: The results of the model simulation show that one month later (on the 37th day), the current from the west has approached the domain's east side, forming a complete coastal Kelvin wave. The shape of coastal Kelvin waves in the eastern area follows a trend that is similar to the OSCAR Sea Surface Velocity plot data obtained from ERDDAP in the Pacific Ocean in October 2015. …”

Direct Time Domain Numerical Analysis of Transient Behavior of a VLFS during Unsteady External Loads in Wave Condition by Yong Cheng, Gang-jun Zhai, Jin-ping Ou

“…The transient response of the VLFS subjected to arbitrary external load is systematically investigated by a direct time domain modal expansion method, in which the BEM solutions based on time domain Kelvin sources are used for hydrodynamic forces. In the analysis, the time domain free-surface Green functions with sufficient accuracy are rapidly evaluated in finite water depth by the interpolation-tabulation method, and the boundary integral equation with a quarter VLFS model is established taking advantage of symmetry of flow field and structure. …”

A quasi-lumped model for the peripheral distortion of the arterial pulse by Panagiotes A. Voltairas, Antonios Charalambopoulos, Dimitrios I. Fotiadis, Lambros K. Michalis

“…It emanates from a generalized Bernoulli's equation for an an-harmonic, linear, viscoelastic, Maxwell fluid flow in a linear, viscoelastic, Kelvin-Voigt, thin, cylindrical vessel. We report that close to the heart, convection effects related to the change in the magnitude of the velocity of blood dominate the alteration of the shape of the pressure pulse, while at remote sites of the vascular tree, convection of vorticity, related to the change in the direction of the velocity of blood with respect to a mean axial flow, prevails. …”
