The gradual formation of a graphene-like sp2 dominant layer on the a-C film surface is observed after steady-state sliding has been achieved, which provides direct evidence for the experimental observations of friction induced graphitization of a-C film.
NE (30° 60°) and SW (210° 240º) aspects were selected from the aspect layer to create a dominant wind layer (Klink 1999).
To estimate basal area (G) and increase over time (ΔG), two different sub-sampling methods have been implemented based on a measure of (i) the dominant layer only (i.e. a subset of the highest trees in the plot), and (ii) a random sample of squared sub-plots.
Slow convection in this dominant layer plays a key role in the tectonic processes that help shape the surface above.
Transmission control protocol (TCP) [4], which is a dominant transport layer connection oriented and reliable end-to-end protocol, is facing challenges in wireless ad hoc networks.
Accordingly, the dominant layer changes with the resistance values.
Cover was estimated by sub-layers (top or dominant layer, down or suppressed layer), and total (dominant plus suppressed sub-layers).
Understood most comprehensively, the importance of Confucianism in Japanese history is undeniable: as in China and Korea, Confucian philosophizing in Japan came to define one major if not dominant layer of the early-modern and modern worldviews.
One system which is receiving attention is that of "oasis agriculture", where two to three layers of vegetation are used a dominant palm-tree layer, an understorey of fruit-trees and a ground-level crop layer.
The carbon microparticles formed by this reaction have a unique spherical architecture, with a dominant internal nanometer layered motif, and they exhibit diamond-like hardness and electrochemical properties similar to graphite.
We asked if astrocyte-dominant layer 1 (L1) of the somatosensory cortex was different from layer 2/3 (L2/3) in spontaneous astrocytic Ca2+ activity and if it was influenced by background neural activity.
