Why do certain movements persist over a significant period of time while some do not? How do those that persist sustain themselves and overcome contraints over time, especially those imposed by non-liberal, democratic states? This thesis examines the persistence of a minority social movement, despite facing considerable constraints imposed by a majority-dominated state. Utilizing the Chinese educa
The shell structure of atomic nuclei far from the line of beta-stability and the properties of the nucleon-nucleon interaction in exotic isotopes are not well known. The development of radioactive ion beams (RIBs) puts certain unexplored regions of the nuclear chart within reach of detailed experimental investigations. The low-energy nuclear structure of the unstable isotopes 106,108,110Sn, 100,1
Radome diagnostics are acquired in the design process, the delivery control and in performance verification of repaired and newly developed radomes. A measured near or far field may indicate deviations, e.g., increased side lobe levels, but the origin of the flaws are not revealed. In this paper, radome diagnostic is performed by visualizing equivalent currents on a radome surface. We localize pha
The present invention relates to a membrane pump and an apparatus comprising such a membrane pump. The membrane pump comprises a pumping chamber and a flexible member separating the pumping chamber into a first accumulation container and a second accumulation container. The flexible member is configured to be movable within the pumping chamber so as to vary a volume relationship between the first
