Abstract Diatom samples were collected during July 2010 at 15 localities from different types of substrate (stone surfaces, sand, mud, filamentous algae and submerged mosses) from the Dojkinci River. During the research period, 124 taxa were determined within 43 genera. Among numerous common diatoms we recorded three…

A metal-film subwavelength-grating polarizer with high performance in the terahertz region is presented. The polarizer was obtained by depositing a thin Au film on a resin grating with a triangular cross section duplicated from a metal mold by using the imprinting method. Microstructural parameters were investigated i…

Despite several attempts to synthesize water-expandable polystyrene (WEPS) beads, the product is still far from commercialization. This is mainly due to the inability of the PS beads to preserve the blowing agent (water) during storage, which leads to the loss of expandability. We report a new generation of WEPS beads…

For certain compositions Ni-Mn-Sn and related magnetic shape-memory alloys undergo a martensitic transition at temperatures in the range 300--400 K, with the emergence of novel magnetic properties below the transition. While $\mathrm{N}{\mathrm{i}}_{50}\mathrm{M}{\mathrm{n}}_{50}$ is an antiferromagnet, substitution o…

In this paper, the enhanced photoluminescence from CdS thin film with SiO2 nanopillar array (NPA) was demonstrated. The CdS was prepared using chemical bath deposition in a solution bath containing CdSO4, SC(NH2)2, and NH4OH. The SiO2 NPA was fabricated by the nanosphere lithography (NSL) techniques. The nanopillar is…

We use calorimetry and rheology to investigate reports of extremely fragile polymers and the speculation that d,l-lactic acid should be extremely fragile. The dynamic fragilities of lactic acid, polysulfone, bisphenol-A polycarbonate, and poly(vinyl chloride) were studied. The polymers were used as received and after…

Graphene does not possess a band gap, and hot carrier relaxation in graphene is an ultrafast processs. This leads to a very low emission efficiency of graphene. We demonstrate bright multicolored frequency-upconverted photoluminescence from graphene via three-photon absorption by femtosecond laser injection at a commu…

We analyze a t(2g) double-exchange system where the orbital directionality of the itinerant degrees of freedom is a key dynamical feature that self-adjusts in response to doping and leads to a phase diagram dominated by two classes of ground states with zigzag and checkerboard patterns. The prevalence of distinct orde…
