Phase change materials combined with silicon photonics are emerging as a promising platform to realize miniature photonic devices.We study the basic optical properties of a subwavelength-dimension silicon ridge waveguide with a 20-nm-thick Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST) top-clad layer.Numerical simulations show that the effective index of the Si-GST hybrid wavegu
This paper examines theoretical, pedagogical, and technological differences between two technologies that have been used in undergraduate interprofessional health sciences at the University of Toronto.One, a learning management system, WebCT 2.0, supports online coursework.The other, a Knowledge Building environment, Knowledge Forum 2.0, supports t
The article presents a mathematical modeling of aileron actuation that uses piezo V-shaped stacks.The aim of the actuation is the increasing of flutter speed in the context BOSCH Serie 2 KIV87NSF0G Integrated 70/30 Fridge Freezer -Sliding Hinge of a control law, in order to widen the flight envelope.In this way the main advantage of such a piezo ac
