Synthesis and characterization of epoxy polymers containing azobenzene groups that exhibit optical birefringence
(2007-12-03)
A push–pull azo dye (DO3) was used as photosensitive substance to satisfactorily synthesize new epoxy polymers containing azo groups covalently linked. Three different amines BA, TA and MXDA were used as hardeners. Materials ...
Sojourn time approximations in a multi-class time-sharing server
(IEEE, 2014-07-08)
We study a multi-class time-sharing discipline with relative priorities known as Discriminatory Processor Sharing (DPS), which provides a natural framework to model service differentiation in systems. The analysis of DPS ...

Audiovisual accessibility is considered as a basic right. In a world where audiovisual material is more and more present, several measures have been taken in order to facilitate the access to it by people living with sensory ...
Potential relationship between single nucleotide polymorphisms used in forensic genetics and diseases or other traits in European population
(Springer, 2015-03-13)
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are an interesting option to facilitate the analysis of highly degraded DNA by allowing the reduction of the size of the DNA amplicons. The SNPforID 52-plex panel is a clear example ...
Analysis of impedance and current distributions in parallel IGBT design
(IEEE, 2017-08-07)
Power electronic applications need high voltage and current ranges which are impossible to obtain with discrete devices. Parallelization technique is a solution to increase power converter current capacity. Current ...
