Abstract: Flying height (FH) control sliders with thermal actuation have been introduced recently in commercial products for compensating the static FH loss and reducing the risk of head-disk contacts. ...

Abstract: To achieve the areal density goal in hard disk drives of 1Tbit∕in.2 the minimum physical spacing or flying height (FH) between the read/write element and disk must be reduced to ∼2nm. A brief ...

Abstract: An optimal sensor placement of a precipitation station network should fulfill different regulations and requirements, such as coverage maximization, easy access, and uniform distribution. However, few studies have focused ...

Abstract: A dynamical vortex initialization (DVI) scheme is implemented on unstructured meshes for the global model MPAS for typhoon forecasts. The DVI extracts the departure vortex within a specified radius of the vortex center and ...

Abstract: AbstractAntislide piles are widely utilized for disaster prevention and slope stabilization. However, previous studies have often neglected the influence of pile design on both slope destabilization and postfailure mitigation, ...
