We solve the complete tensor fluctuation problem of a long and straight nematic disclination line with a general winding number in the one elastic constant approximation. Focusing on the eigenmodes growing in time, we show that the disclination with strength higher than 1/2 is unstable with respect to the splitting an…

A new method for preparing a novel antistatic polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fiber modified by nano-antimony-doped tin oxide (ATO) particles is proposed. Nano-ATO particles are first dispersed in water by the dispersant polyethyleneimine PEI, then the nano-ATo suspension is applied in a pre-heating bath during spinning of PA…

Abstract The dinuclear iron( II ) complex {[Fe(CH 3 bipy)(NCS) 2 ] 2 bpym} has been synthesised and its crystal structure determined at 293 K. The magnetic properties display intramolecular antiferromagnetic coupling at 1 bar ( J = −4.2 cm −1 ), and the onset of a pressure‐induced spin conversion is observed at 11 kba…

Abstract Palaeozoic to early Mesozoic rocks of both autochthonous and allochthonous units of the Eastern Tauride Belt have different textural and mineralogical features related to their varying deposition regimes and thermal histories. The Devonian and Carboniferous formations in the allocthonous units have anchizonal…

Understanding how a gas is able to strongly insulate electric devices is certainly of great importance to the electrical engineering community. More precisely, modeling how a dielectric gas stops an electric current requires to understand what makes a gas a good dielectric, or in other words, what makes a gas presenti…

A digital image processing technique using the Fourier transformation in the spatial domain and the Wiener filter has been developed. This method is applied to the measurement of the accumulated charge on the opposite sides of a planar insulator using an electrostatic probe. In the spatial frequency domain, the relati…

The need to deliver fast-in-market and right-first-time design for ultra-low-emission vehicles at a reasonable cost is driving the automotive industries to invest significant manpower in computer-aided design and optimization of exhaust after-treatment systems. To serve the above goals, an already developed engineerin…

Abstract The transformation of a powder diffraction profile into a set of correlated integrated intensities allows crystallographic calculations to be performed without modelling raw diffractometer counts. By carrying out this transformation it is possible to preserve the information about peak overlap without needing…

Random parallel nanostructures (ridges and channels) were created by scratching gold thin films deposited on glass slides. Atomic force microscope (AFM) images showed that the width of the substructures within the scratches were of the order of a few hundred nanometers. These nanometric gold features can then support…
