By measuring the dependences of the temperature-dependent primary ("alpha") dielectric relaxation time behavior on the temperature scanning rate for the glass-forming glycerol, we study the scaling of hysteresis at the glass transition in glycerol. Based on the Vogel-Fulcher-Tammann (VFT) expression and the Angell's f…

Biofilms are complex mixtures of microorganisms and extracellular matrix that exist on many wetted surfaces. Recently, magnetic resonance microscopy has been used to measure fluid velocities near biofilms that are attached to the walls of capillary channels. These velocity measurements showed unexpectedly high seconda…

Soft computing is a cluster of modelling and optimisation techniques which mimics the behaviour of biological systems. Artificial neural network (ANN), fuzzy logic (FL) and genetic algorithms (GA) are three main constituents of soft computing. In recent years, soft computing systems have been successfully used in ever…

Biocompatible hydrogels have great potentials in biomedical and biotechnological applications. In the current study, we reported a new naturally occurring protein motif that formed a transparent hydrogel when heated to 90 °C at a concentration as low as 0.4 mg/mL. The protein motif is the C-terminal soluble domain of…

Thermally stimulated luminescence (TSL) and X-ray excited luminescence (XL) spectra of single-crystalline and glassy Li2B4O7:Mn (LTB:Mn) are studied. For single-crystalline LTB:Mn, maxima at the TSL spectral dependences at 608±2 and 598±2 nm are revealed, their position being practically unchanged in a wide range of m…

This work presents first principle calculations to understand the adsorption, clustering, migration, and reaction of Pd on three different surfaces of 3C-SiC ({111}, {100} C-terminated, and {100} Si-terminated). The surfaces were chosen based upon experimental and theoretical work. Pd preferably binds to Si-terminated…

Recently, the magnetocaloric effect (MCE) of Ni-Mn-based Heusler alloys has attracted more attention due to its metamagnetic shape-memory effect. However, most MCE investigations focused on the bulk alloys developed at high magnetic field (>2 T). In this paper, by employing the melt-spinning technique, a large…

We report a solution-phase annealing of spherical Co nanocrystals synthesized in reverse micelles and coated with dodecanoic acid. The deposition of a drop of solution on a transmission electron microscope grid shows that a progressive increase in the temperature to 316 °C results in the progressive crystallographic t…

It is clear that the geometry of fabrics has an important role in their properties. Hence, to predict the behavior of fabrics, it is essential to define a suitable geometrical model. The structure of warp knitted fabrics is more complex than other fabrics. Therefore, to investigate the behavior of warp knitted structu…
