Successful retrieval of the television camera and other components from the Surveyor III spacecraft by the Apollo 12 astronauts has provided a unique opportunity to study the effects of a known and relatively extensive exposure to the lunar environment. Microstructural effects including those produced by micro-meteorite impact, radiation damage (by both the solar wind and cosmic rays) and solar heating might be expected in the materials used to fabricate the spacecraft. Samples received were in the form of 1 cm2 of painted unpainted aluminum alloy sheet from the top of the camera visor (JPL Code 933) and the sides (935,936) and bottom (934) of the lower camera shroud. They were prepared for transmission electron microscopy by first hand-grinding with abrasive paper to a thickness of 0.006". The edges were lacquered and the sample electropolished in 10% perchloric methanol using the “window” method, to a thickness of ~0.001". Final thinning was accomplished by polishing 3 mm punched disks in an acetic-phosphoric-nitric acid solution.

Cr Film

As has been reported elsewhere, a thin evaporated Cr film can be used to monitor the x-ray peak to background ratio (P/B) in an analytical electron microscope. Presented here are the results of P/B measurements for the Cr Ka line on a Philips EM430 TEM/STEM, with Link Si(Li) and intrinsic Ge (IG) x-ray detectors. The goal of the study was to determine the best conditions for x-ray microanalysis.We used the Fiori P/B definition, in which P/B is the ratio of the total peak integral to the average background in a 10 eV channel beneath the peak. Peak and background integrals were determined by the window method, using a peak window from 5.0 to 5.7 keV about Cr Kα, and background windows from 4.1 to 4.8 keV and 6.3 to 7.0 keV.

Nerve injuries are a common pathology in hand trauma. The consequences are drastic both for patients and doctors/medical system. In many cases direct coaptation is impossible. A nerve graft should be used in the case of a neuroma, trauma or tumor, for restoration of nervous influx. The aim of this study is demonstrate that by grafting restant nerve stumps with muscle-in-vein nerve grafts we obtain good result in terms of functional and sensibility recovery and also our method �window-vein� is a good way of prolonging nerve grafts. The method of study is experimental. We worked in the laboratory in optimal conditions for carrying out of muscles-in-vein nerve grafts (nerve grafts size 1.5 cm-3 cm). We used acellular muscle grafts with the chemical extraction method.The study was conducted on experimental animals (Wistar male rats).We used 30 experience animals in 3 equal groups (classical group and muscle-in-vein nerve grafts-2 nerve grafts of 1,5 cm central sutured and the third group with muscle-in-vein nerve grafts, window-vein method, 3 cm). At 4 and respectively 6 weeks postoperative at the quality tests we observed the progress with the footprint test. The operated hind in comparison with the healthy hind was 86% recovered and similar with classic nerve grafts. Quantitatively the number of regenerated axons in the group with muscle-in-vein nerve grafts was significant bigger in comparison with the classical group (15%).The method using muscle-in-vein nerve graft with windows-vein it�s a good alternative for nerve grafting in comparison with classical nerve grafting. When the local possibilities are limited, this method is good for prolonging the grafts. The relationship between cost and benefit in this case it�s an advantage because we use the local resources of the affected area. The motor results of nerve grafting ingroup 2 in comparison with group 3 were similar and in some cases better in group 1. Grafting with MVNG offers a better alternative for donor site regeneration in comparison with classical nerve grafts. This method is useful to prolong nerve grafts without adding morbidity.

A basic but expensive operation in the implementations of several famous public-key cryptosystems is the computation of the multi-scalar multiplication in a certain finite additive group defined by an elliptic curve. We propose an adaptive window method for the multi-scalar multiplication, which aims to balance the computation cost and the memory cost under register-constrained environments. That is, our method can maximize the computation efficiency of multi-scalar multiplication according to any small, fixed number of registers provided by electronic devices. We further demonstrate that our method is efficient when five registers are available. Our method is further studied in detail in the case where it is combined with the non-adjacent form (NAF) representation and the joint sparse form (JSF) representation. One efficiency result is that our method with the proposed improved NAF n-bit representation on average requires 209n/432 point additions. To the best of our knowledge, this efficiency result is optimal compared with those of similar methods using five registers. Unlike the previous window methods, which store all possible values in the window, our method stores those with comparatively high probabilities to reduce the number of required registers.

Spatially Varying

The purpose of this paper is to determine the random spatially varying elastic properties of concrete at various scales taking into account its highly heterogeneous microstructure. The reconstruction of concrete microstructure is based on computed tomography (CT) images of a cubic concrete specimen. The variability of the local volume fraction of the constituents (pores, cement paste and aggregates) is quantified and mesoscale random fields of the elasticity tensor are computed from a number of statistical volume elements obtained by applying the moving window method on the specimen along with computational homogenization. Based on the statistical characteristics of the mesoscale random fields, it is possible to assess the effect of randomness in microstructure on the mechanical behavior of concrete.

Rolling Window

This study proposes the time-varying nonlinear panel unit root test to investigate the convergence of ecological foot prints between the EU and candidate countries. Sixteen European countries (such as Albania, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Sweden and Turkey) and analysis periods are selected according to data availability. This study proposes a cross-sectional Panel KSS with Fourier to test the convergence of the ecological footprints. Then, we combine this methodology with the rolling window method to take into account the time-varying stationarity of series. This study evaluated sub-components of ecological footprints separately and provided more comprehensive findings for the ecological footprint. According to empirical findings, this study proves that convergence or divergence does not show continuity over time. On the other side, this study points out the presence of divergence draws attention when considering the properties of the sub-components in general. As a result, this study shows that international policies by EU countries are generally accepted as successful to reduce ecological footprint, but these are not sufficient as expected. In this point, it is suggested to keep national policies to support international policies in the long term.
