Global asymptotic behaviour of aquatic vegetation in a periodical mediated system
(2012)
In this paper, we consider a competition model between two species in an aquatic system. The operating
parameters and the species specific response functions are periodic functions of time. Species-specific removal rates ...
Optical Characterization of Copper Oxide Thin Films Prepared By Reactive Dc Magnetron Sputtering For Solar Cell Applications
(2012)
Cu2O thin films have been deposited using
reactive dc magnetron sputtering technique using an Edward
Auto 306 Magnetron Sputtering System. Transmittance and
