Electrophosphating is the novel method for accelerating the low temperature phosphating bath. This method can be performed as cathodic and anodic treatments. Both of them influence the coating deposition mechanism and therefore coating properties. In this study Zn–Ni electrophosphate coating was applied on galvanized steel using cathodic and anodic electrochemical methods. Microstructure, composition and corrosion resistance of coating were characterized by using a scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction method and potentiodynamic polarization test respectively. The results of this study indicated that, by using cathodic method, compact phosphate coating with high corrosion... 

In this study, plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) of Ti-Mg couple metal fabricated by friction stir welding (FSW) in silicate base solution has been addressed and effect of silicate concentration in the electrolyte on coating properties was studied. Microstructure, composition and corrosion resistance of coating were characterized using scanning electron microscopy(SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and potentiodynamic polarization methods.

The early stages of nucleation and growth of nanostructures can control the shape and final size of the fabricated nanostructure. Therefore, the study of the nucleation and growth mechanism of nanostructures is of great importance. The purpose of this study is to investigate the nucleation and growth mechanism of nickel nanocones from a chloride-based bath containing ethylene ammonium dichloride as a crystal modifier. Cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and chronoamperometry tests were employed to investigate the nucleation and growth mechanism and also the mechanism of crystal modifier performance on the growth of nanocones. Electrochemical studies revealed... 

In this study, we presented a method for distributing data storage by using residue number system for mobile systems and wireless networks based on peer to peer paradigm. Generally, redundant residue number system is capable in error detection and correction. In proposed method, we made a new system by mixing Redundant Residue Number System (RRNS), Multi Level Residue Number System (ML RNS) and Multiple Valued Logic (MVL RNS) which was perfect for parallel, carry free, high speed arithmetic and the system supports secure data communication. In addition it had ability of error detection and correction. In comparison to other number systems, it had many improvements in data security, error... 

A routing algorithm defines a route which packet traverses to get to destination. In this research we study some kind of routing algorithms that are used in internal connections networks of multi-processor and multi-computers systems. Then we discuss about some routing algorithms which have been implemented network on chip architecture. First, we present a group of routing algorithms based on various criterions, and review so-called category. Afterwards, we study adaptive and deterministic routing algorithms and express circular model applying in internal connections networks and its governing rules in order to prevent dead lock. Then we survey adaptive algorithms such as Deflection routing,... 

In this study, the effect of phosphating time and temperature on microstructure and corrosion behavior of Zn-Ni electrophosphate coating with a galvanized steel as a substrate, were investigated. SEM and X-ray diffraction methods were used for investigation the microstructure and phase analysis, respectively. And immersion test, potentiodynamic polarization test, and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy tests were used for the study of corrosion behavior. The results of this study indicated that the best coating morphology is obtained in the range between 20 and 30 min and 40–50° C. Moreover, results of corrosion studies showed that the corrosion mechanism is under diffusion control due to...

In this article, a modified version of the Lee model is utilized to research the effect of variation of the geometric parameters of the electrode system on the amount of the soft X-ray radiation (SXR) yield. The parameters are the anode radius and length, the cathode radius, and the number of rods in the cathode. It will be seen that increasing the anode radius causes an increase in the SXR yield. This is because of the constancy of the ratios of the pinch radius and length to the anode radius and length, respectively. Since the SXR yield scales to the pinch current, increasing the anode length brings a reduction in the yield. When the number of the cathode rods is increased, then the formed... 

This paper proposes a decentralized algorithm to organize an ad-hoc sensor network into clusters. Each sensor operates independently, monitoring communication among others. Those sensors which have many neighbors that are not already part of a cluster are likely candidates to creating a new cluster by declaring themselves to be a new cluster-head. The Clustering Algorithm via Deadline Timer (CADT) provides a protocol whereby this can be achieved and the process continues until all sensors are part of a cluster. Because of the difficulty of analyses simplified models are used to study and abstract its performance. A simple formula to estimate the number of clusters which will be formed in an...
