Mechanisms of Active Fuzzy Expertise

Consideration was given to the decision making procedures based on the fuzzy messages of experts whose preferences on the set of collective decisions can also be fuzzy.     

Fabrication of Strain-Relaxed Si<Subscript>1 − <Emphasis Type="Italic">x</Emphasis></Subscript>Ge<Subscript>x</Subscript>/Si(001) Buffer Layers of Low Surface Roughness

The results are presented of the fabrication of strain-relaxed graded Si_{1 − x} Ge_x/Si(001) buffer layers with a maximum Ge fraction of about 0.25 that have a low density of threading dislocations (<10⁶ cm⁻²) and low surface roughness. The buffer layers are grown by atmospheric-pressure hydride CVD. It is found that chemical mechanical polishing can reduce their surface roughness to a level comparable with that of the original Si(001) substrates. It is shown that the polished buffer layers can serve as substrates for MBE-grown SiGe/Si heterostructures.__________Translated from Mikroelektronika, Vol. 34, No. 4, 2005, pp. 243–250.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Vostokov, Drozdov, Krasil’nik, Kuznetsov, Novikov, Perevoshchikov, Shaleev.     

Effect of the external coupling of cavities on the stability and output power of a relativistic magnetron

Autooscillation regimes in a relativistic magnetron with external mutual coupling of cavities have been studied. It is demonstrated that the interaction of oscillations under mode competition conditions significantly increases the stability of the working oscillation mode and improves the spectral characteristics of radiation.     

Limiting Hardening Stress Levels in Sheet Glass

The limiting level of sheet glass hardening is presented based on three classification strength criteria and is equal to about 500 MPa.     

Analysis of self-similar laminar flows in slot channels with one permeable wall

An analysis is made of the fluid flows in a plane slot permeable channel. It is shown that for large numbers R (suction) self-similar solutions exist.Translated from Inzhenerno-Fizicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 49, No. 3, pp. 432–436, September, 1985.
