1.1 This guide covers the dispersion in liquids of metal powders and related compounds for subsequent use in particle size analysis instruments. This guide describes a general procedure for achieving and determining dispersion; it also lists procedures that are currently in general use for certai...

1.1 This test method, when used in conjunction with a test performed by Method D422 on a duplicate soil sample, provides an indication of the natural dispersive characteristics of clay soils (1).

1.2 This test method is applicable only to soils with a plasticity index gre...

One-bit feedback systems generate binary data as their output and the system performance is usually measured by the success rate with a fixed parameter combination. Traditional methods need many executions for parameter optimization. Hence, it is impractical to utilize these methods in Expensive One...

For the quality of service (QoS) and fairness considerations, the hop counts of various lightpaths in a wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) optical network should be short and compact. The development of multi-granularity optical switching technology has made it possible to construct various fibe...

Alternating direction implicit finite difference time domain (ADI-FDTD) method is unconditionally stable and the maximum time step is not limited by the Courant stability condition, but rather by numerical error. Compared with the conventional FDTD method, the time step of ADI-FDTD can be enlarged a...
