Furthermore, for the straight tube, the addition of nanoparticles improves the figure of merit significantly, albeit it decreases with increasing concentration.
Therefore, the dimensionless figure of merits are significantly improved and the maximum value reaches ∼1.30 for the (Zn0.99Cd0.01)4samplemple at 700 K, representing ∼13%and∼23%3% improvements compared with the undoped MS-SPS sample and the 1% Cd-doped melting ingot, respectively.
Photodetector figures of merit are significantly enhanced after laser treatment with a fluence of 40 mJ/cm2.
These results suggest that the C/S NW structure could be used to modify the thermoelectric performance of materials, as the figure of merit was significantly greater than previously reported values for pure Bi NWs (0.07) and bulk Bi (0.05).
If the latter were to shrink significantly, merit-based European qualification based on domestic results each season would clearly be compromised.
The voltammetric figure of merit is typically significantly correlated to temperature for electrochemically reversible (HgS/Hg0) and irreversible (O2/H2O2, Fe2+/Fe0, and Mn2+/Mn0) systems and therefore can be used to correct in situ data [54, 55].
Because phonons and electrons transport operates over markedly different length scales, the power factor (S2σ), and consequently the ZT factor of merit, can be significantly improved through the reduction of kL without sacrifying the electrical conductivity and the Seebeck coefficient (S).
The fact that the levels of certain baseline indicators in Areas A and B were significantly different merits exploration.
So it will be a matter for the lawyers to convince shareholders that Zipcar has enough potential, and was undervalued significantly, to merit the case.
Although the combined perioperative mortality and non-fatal stroke rate for carotid endarterectomy ranges only from 2% to 7%, the final geometric design recommendation presented merits consideration because it may significantly lower the chances of post-operative complications such as stroke, ischemic attack, or even death.
