As special results in extensional setting, the mafic dykes comprise lamprophyres, dolerites and diabase porphyrites....

Circuit designers perform optimization procedures targeting speed and power. Gate sizing can be applied to optimize for speed, while Dual-VT and Dynamic Voltage Scaling (DVS) can be applied to optimize for leakage and dynamic power, respectively. Both gate sizing and Dual-VT are design-time techniques applied to the circuit at a fixed voltage....

A basic study on the characterization of the multi-scale properties of concrete has been conducted. The microstructure, composition and mechanical properties of concrete at the various scales were investigated using multiple techniques, including SEM-BSE/EDX, TGA, XRD, nanoindentation and nondestructive ultrasonic tests....

For decades, people have been trying to develop wireless/contactless power transfer technologies to drive movable loads without direct electrical contacts, with ICPT (Inductively Coupled Power Transfer) being the most popular....

The banking industry in Ghana has changed considerably since 1988 as a result of the gradual and steady implementation of financial services deregulation, globalisation and the emergence of communication and information technologies....

Taking the ordinary business activities of EDU, an international organization in China, as an example, the book enables learners to learn the relevant Chinese language and knowledge in an efficient way....
