NMR and dielectric studies have been performed on NaNO 2 loaded in mesoporous matrices of MCM-41 and SBA-15 with pore sizes of 20, 37, and 52 Å. The spin-lattice relaxation rate and 23 Na NMR line shape, as well as the complex impedance, were measured within a broad temperature interval including the ferroelectric pha…
The appearance of a garment is affected by the quality of the fabrics used in its manufacture, as well as a number of factors determined by the technology of the garment manufacturing process. Since fabric quality, as the most important element of garment appearance, is determined by its mechanical properties, it is o…
This article provides an overview of our recent studies on single-walled carbon nanotube-based sensors for measuring mass, strain, pressure, and temperature at the nanoscale. The carbon nanotube in a cantilevered or bridged configuration is simulated by an atomistic modeling, the molecular structural mechanics method.…
3-aminopyridine-2-carboxaldehyde thiosemicarbazone (3-AP) is a highly-hydrophobic small molecule that was originally developed for cancer therapy (Triapine, Vion Pharmaceuticals) due to its ability to inhibit ribonucleotide reductase, a key enzyme required for DNA synthesis. 3-AP has a high affinity for divalent catio…
The interaction of the glycine radical on the side walls of both armchair and zigzag single walled carbon nanotubes is investigated by density functional theory. It is found that the interaction potential of the N-centered glycine radical with the tubes has a minimum of 16.9 (armchair) and 20.2 (zigzag) kcal/mol with…
We report a theoretical study of heat conduction across metal-dielectric interfaces in devices and structures of practical interest. At cryogenic temperatures, the thermal interface resistance between electrodes and a substrate is responsible for substantial reduction in the maximum permissible peak power in Josephson…
The rich nanostructural diversity of commecial zinc oxide, fabricated via French process, is investigated. FESEM images of ZnO nanostructures reveal nanorods, nanoplates, nanoboxes, nanomallets, microclusters, polyhedral drums and irregularly‐shaped particles (ISPs). Due to nanoscopic inhomogeneity in crystallisation…
Large single crystals of cesium-nickel sulfate hexahydrate Cs 2 Ni(SO 4 ) 2 · 6H 2 O of optical quality were grown for the first time. The crystal structure and the optical and thermogravimetric properties of this compound were investigated.
One motivation for synthesizing nanofibrous materials is the desire to mimic interactions between cells and the natural extracellular matrix. The cellular response to nanofibre assemblies of differing length-scales and densities of nanofibres is of direct interest; in this study, we investigate the response of human l…
Purpose To study the effects of the sodium salts of molybdate, tungstate and monovanadate as well as some derivatives of Neville‐Winter acid azo dyes on the corrosion of carbon steel in 3.5 percent NaCl solution. Design/methodology/approach Open circuit potential measurement and potentiostatic polarization techniques…
Fabric appearance is very essential for characterizing and determining the acceptability of textile products. Drape, pilling, texture and wrinkle are recognized as major aesthetic attributes of a woven apparel fabric and measured by the digital image processing technique. An integrated appearance index is estimated fr…
Partial discharge (PD) location in transformers is very important, and many methods that have been brought forward in past decades have a limitation theoretically, namely, they cannot locate multiple PDs in electrical equipment. In this paper, a new PD location method based on UHF and ultrasonic-phased arrays receivin…
A macrocyclic trichromophore bundle 1 with parallel-aligned dipole moments has been synthesized to study the influence of aggregation and orientation of a nonlinear optical (NLO) chromophore on its optical properties. The linear and nonlinear optical properties of 1 and a single chromophore standard 2 have been studie…
Abstract Lower Palaeozoic rocks crop out extensively in Wales, the Lake District of northern England and the Southern Uplands of Scotland; they also form the subcrop concealed beneath the English Midlands and East Anglia. These mainly marine sedimentary rocks were deposited in basins created during plate tectonic asse…
The equipment and methods used to produce wide-angle antireflection coatings based on Reststrahlen materials are described. The optical constants of the coating materials used in the construction of the multilayers were determined by spectrophotometric ellipsometry and are compared with the literature values. The meas…
Composite yarns with elastane have become more and more used to take advantage of the filament properties. Indeed, the elastane filament improves the yarn's elasticity. However, the elastane ratio is an important factor influencing the yarn's strength. Thus, we study the effect of elastane ratio on the mechanical prop…
Fracture toughness and deformation structures have been investigated using an AZ31 magnesium alloy processed by equal-channel-angular extrusion (ECAE). The ECAE-processed alloy (as-ECAE) was annealed at 573 K for 24 h (annealed-ECAE). The average grain sizes of as-ECAE and annealed-ECAE alloys were 4.0 and 16.3 µm, re…
The energy transfer between dye molecules and the mobility of the corresponding excitons are investigated in polymethyl methacrylate films highly doped with perylene bisimide dyes. The dynamics is measured by group delay corrected, femtosecond broad-band spectroscopy revealing the transfer route via absorption changes…
Abstract The Devonian sedimentary rocks of the UK are made up of a continental red bed facies, the Old Red Sandstone (ORS), and sediments of a marine origin. The latter are confined to southwest England whereas the ORS occurs much more extensively, particularly in South Wales, the West Midlands, Northern England, the…
This paper reports the investigation results on the leakage currents (LC) on polymeric outdoor insulators. The samples used were EPDM (ethylene prophylene diene monomer) insulators used at 20 kV distribution lines. AC voltage was applied and the LC waveforms were measured under various environmental conditions (humidi…
