Examination of the Ageing of Selected Synthetic Fibers Under the Influence of UV Radiation
Most fibers are subject to adverse effects of time or ageing, which are facilitated by the presence of UV radiation. Fiber ageing results in structural changes in polymer and consequently affects some fiber properties. The aim of this study is to explain the effect of UV radiation under artificial exposure...

Looking for Oil Spills on Oceans With Remote Sensing
This paper looks at the remote sensing from satellites and how it can be used to detect oil on the oceans. The sensors used are divided into two main categories, passive and active. A radiometer is a passive instrument, thus it uses radiation from an external source. Radar is an...

Anomalous Radiation Effects in Fully-Depleted SOI MOSFETs Fabricated on SIMOX
This white paper investigates the proton tolerance of fully depleted SOI MOSFETs with H-gate and regular-gate structural configurations. An anomalous kink in the back-gate linear ID-VGS characteristics of the fully-depleted SOI nFETs has been observed at high radiation doses. This kink is attributed to charged traps generated in the band...
