We propose a novel scheme for designing and generating kaleidoscope-structured vector optical fields (KS-VOFs) by analogy with the principle of multiple mirror reflection in a kaleidoscope.For KS-VOFs with symmetric polarization states, we show the symmetry properties of the focal fields with various shapes for different applications.The redistribu
This article addresses the study of crack behavior elicited on axial fatigue in specimens joined by butt weld made of steel ASTM A36 by using fracture mechanics and simulation software of finite elements (Ansys LADIES SHIRTS CAREER APDL, Franc3D).The computational model was initially to define the geometry model by using CAD software.Specimens with
Background: Between the school years of 2009-2012, the turnover record Test Boards of the University of San Jose-Recoletos (USJ-R), Cebu City, Philippines showed that permanent faculty members who left the institution were all midlifers.Their reasons varied from health issues to greener pasture elsewhere.Materials and Methods: This study then sough
Given the lack of student research experience, the undergraduate thesis is necessarily focussed primarily on development of research skills (i.e.it is process oriented).Since postgraduate supervision is research output focussed, the lessons learnt from this field are not always directly transferable.In contrast to the vast body of work in TAURINE t
