Optical anisotropy plays a fundamental role on light propagation in nematic liquid crystals. With specific reference to nematicons, we investigate the transverse dynamics due to the interplay of nonlinear self-confinement, birefringent walk-off and a bias-dependent transverse index profile.
The polysaccharide chitin is found in nature as a major component of the organic fraction of several biocomposites in which an organic matrix is associated with an inorganic fraction. The relationship between the mineral phase and the organic phase implies a high level of molecular recognition. Chitin in mineralized b…
A hydrous ruthenic acid possessing a layered structure with a crystalline framework was prepared by proton exchange of a layered potassium ruthenate. Its electrochemical capacitor behavior was studied by cyclic voltammetry in various electrolytes. Specific capacitance up to 390 F at a scan rate of 50 mV s −1 , which i…
The air- and moisture-stable pentanuclear yttrium cluster H(5)[Y(5)(mu(4)-O)(mu(3)-O)(4)(mu-eta](2)-Ph(2)acac)(4)(eta](2)-Ph(2)acac)(6)](Ph(2)acac = dibenzoylmethanide) has been used as a homogeneous catalyst for the oxidation of aldehydes to the corresponding carboxylic acids in the presence of air.
Wildland firefighters work in unfavourable environments involving both heat and moisture. Moisture in clothing systems worn by wildland firefighters may increase or decrease heat transfer, depending on its source and location in the clothing system, location on the body, timing of application and degree of sorption. I…
A conceptual design of a Heat Pipe‐Segmented Thermoelectric Module Converters (HP‐STMCs) space reactor power system (SRPS) for a net power of 110 kWe is developed. The parametric analysis changed the number of radiator’s potassium heat pipes from 224 to 336 and calculated the effects on the operation parameters and to…
The objective of this paper is to present a method for the design of solid wood panels with cross layers. The stress distribution in and the deformation behaviour of solid wood panels were analysed using the composite theory. The shear influence in solid wood panels was determined using the shear analogy method. A str…
Surface bound silicatein retains its biocatalytic activity, which was demonstrated by monitoring the immobilisation of silicatein using a histidine-tag chelating anchor and the subsequent biosilicification of SiO(2) on surfaces by surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy and scanning electron mi…
Recently, in order to meet the increasing demand of power consumption of electronic devices, Power MEMS is attracting attention which aim is to generate power inside the electronic devices. The object of the-present research is to develop a micro power generator that converts kinetic energy into electricity. Electrost…
Three new dinuclear copper(II) complexes, derived from end-to-end and end-on azido bridging ligands and triamine derivatives, have been synthesized and their crystal structures have been determined by X-ray diffraction methods. These are the dinuclear end-to-end compounds, [Cu2(μ1,3-N3)2(Et3dien)2](ClO4)2 (1) and [Cu2…
A new type of compact band pass filters based on planar structures with three metal levels is proposed. The central layer consists on a coplanar waveguide (CPW) with periodic wire connections between the central strip and ground planes. In the upper and lower metal levels, split ring resonators (SRRs) are etched and a…
We have developed a device using a novel composite material as the negative electrode and ordinary activated carbon as the positive electrode. The composite material was obtained by heat-treatment of activated carbon with pitch. The structure of this composite was shown to be amorphous based on the X-ray diffraction p…
Recently, electrical resistivity (ER) measurements have been done during some thermomechanical tests in copper based shape memory alloys (SMA's). In this work, single crystals of Cu-based SMA's have been studied at different temperatures to analyse the relationship between stress (s) and ER changes as a function of th…
To correlate quantitatively the mechanical properties of precipitate free zones (PFZ) with the corresponding microstructural and compositional characteristics, TEM observation, EDX analysis and nanoindentation measurement have been performed in the vicinity of grain boundaries in Al–4.9 mass%Zn–1.8 mass%Mg (−0.28 mass…
Present theoretical investigation reveals that the Al 4 unit in neutral Al 4 Na 4 and anion Al 4 Na 3 - clusters has 4 n π electrons and has a rectangular structure with alternate π bonds. Hence, neutral Al 4 Na 4 and anion Al 4 Na 3 - clusters satisfy the criteria for antiaromaticity and are metallo-antiaromatic comp…
We explore progress in understanding the behaviour of cation conducting glasses, within the context of an evolving “dynamic structure model” (DSM). This behaviour includes: in single cation glasses a strong dependence of ion mobility on concentration, and in mixed cation glasses a range of anomalies known collectively…
Abstract In recent years, supramolecular micellar assemblies formed from amphiphilic block copolymers have been receiving attention as potential drug carriers. The size of the carriers is ideal for avoiding rapid renal exclusion and reticuloendothelial uptake, and enables them to be targeted to certain tissues such as…
The wetting properties of polyamide 6 rods treated with radiofrequency (RF) low-temperature plasma (LTP) using three different non-polymerizing gases (air, nitrogen and water vapour) were determined using the Wilhelmy contact-angle technique. Information on the acidic or basic nature of the ionizable groups generated…
System of hard squares in two dimensions (2D) has been studied by Monte Carlo simulations. The simulations indicate that the isotropic fluid phase in this system does not freeze into a 2D 'crystalline' phase (of square lattice and quasi-long-range translational order) but transforms into an intermediate phase with the…
Isotopic tracer and kinetic measurements were used to determine the identity and reversibility of elementary steps required for CH4–CO2, CH4–H2O and CH4 decomposition reactions on supported Ir clusters. The results led to a simple and rigorous mechanism that includes steps required for these reactions as well as water…
