The terminology of neurological disorders encompasses a range of serious illnesses (e.g., epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease) leading to morbidity, disability, and stigma. Epilepsy alone affects over 50 million people worldwide, and these figures are rising as ...
With the progress made in miniaturizing systems over the last decades, understanding materialsâ behavior at small scales has become a necessity.
In this context, glass behavior has remained largely unknown, partly for technological reasons and partly due ...
Stained glass windows are designed to reveal their powerful artistry under diverse and time-varying lighting conditions; virtual relighting of stained glass, therefore represents an exceptional tool for the appreciation of this age old art form. However, a ...

A reliable assessment of the edge strength becomes an important issue when designing structural glass elements in buildings. However, in the literature the edge strength of glass, dependent on the edge quality, is not well documented. Therefore, in this st ...
Tensile strength of structural glass elements is highly influenced by flaws. For this paper, the study concentrates on the fracture origin i.e. the critical flaw, situated at the edge of a glass element. In the current study the influence of two different ...
The present work critically reviews the scientific and patent literature on low-melting bismuth-based oxide glass frits in materials for electronics, sensors and related applications such as sealing glasses, solar cells, architectural and automotive glass, ...
NMR parameters of Ge-73 and O-17 in vitreous GeO2 and quartz GeO2, including the isotropic shifts, the quadrupole coupling constants C-Q, and the electric-field-gradient asymmetry parameters., are determined through density functional calculations. Clear c ...
The microscopic origin of the intermediate phase in two prototypical covalently bonded A(x)B(1-x) network glass forming systems, where A=Ge or Si, B=Se, and 0
Subsolidus equilibria in the RuO2–Bi2O3–SiO2 diagram were studied with the aim of investigating possible interactions between the bismuth-ruthenate- based conductive phase and the silica-rich glasses in thick-film resistors. The tie lines are between Bi2Ru ...
In this work, the properties (sheet-resistance, temperature coefficient and piezoresistance / gauge factor) and stability of thick-film resistors with low firing temperatures (525...650°C) are studied. To this end, two low-melting lead borosilicate glass c ...
For centuries, the use of glass in buildings was essentially restricted to functions such as windows and glazing. Over the last decades, continuous improvements in production and refining technologies have enabled glass elements to carry more substantial s ...
