Biological responses of multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were assessed after a single intratracheal instillation in rats. The diameter and median length of the MWCNTs used in this study were approximately 60 nm and 1.5 μm, respectively. Groups of male Sprague-Dawley rats were intratracheally instilled with 0.04, 0…

Cu/Co/Cu trilayers have been deposited on nanoporous alumina membranes. Magnetic properties of the resulting Co antidot arrays are investigated using SQUID magnetometry. Hysteresis loops of these arrays show two-step magnetization reversal. In addition, exchange bias is observed, whether the cooling field is applied w…

In this paper, microspheres were prepared by oil-in-water (o/w) emulsion solvent evaporation method. Biodegradable polymer such as blend of poly (lactic acid) (PLA) and poly(ɛ-caprolactone) (PCL) with certain compositions and characteristics was used to prepare the microspheres with poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) as an emu…

We performed density-functional calculations to investigate the electronic structure of ZnO/GaN core/shell heterostructured nanowires (NWs) orientating along <0001> direction. The build-in electric filed arising from the charge redistribution at the {1-100} interfaces and the band offsets were revealed. ZnO-core/GaN-s…

We present the complete zero temperature phase diagram of a model for ultrathin films with perpendicular anisotropy. The whole parameter space of relevant coupling constants is studied in first order anisotropy approximation. Because the ground state is known to be formed by perpendicular stripes separated by Bloch wa…

Ductile Regime Machining of semiconductors (DRM) offers higher quality of the resulting surfaces. To optimize this process, it is required to understand the thermal kinetics of silicon metallization under pressure. Such understanding is not yet possible since the metallic phases of silicon aren't readily amenable to t…

Cutting tools are subject to extreme thermal and mechanical loads during operation. The state of loading is intensified in dry cutting environment especially when cutting the so called hard-to-cut-materials. Although, the effect of mechanical loads on tool failure have been extensively studied, detailed studies on the…

We report measurements of magnetoresistance in bilayer graphene as a function of gate voltage (carrier density) and temperature. We examine multiple contributions to the magnetoresistance, including those of weak localization (WL), universal conductance fluctuations (UCF), and inhomogeneous charge transport. A clear W…

A new rigorous vector-based design and analysis approach of diffractive lenses is presented. It combines the use of two methods: the Finite-Difference Time-Domain for the study in the near field, and the Radiation Spectrum Method for the propagation in the far field. This approach is proposed to design and optimize ef…

Styrene-based deproteinized natural rubber (SNR) latex was synthesized by in situ polymerization. Three pre-vulcanization systems [conventional-cured (CV), semi-efficient-cured (Semi-EV), and efficient-cured (EV)] were studied in terms of tensile and adhesion properties. Good tensile properties were observed for CV an…

We derive coarse-grained potentials for the interaction of a fluid atom with a solid substrate patterned with cylindrical or rectangular pillars, as well as with rectangular grooves. These potentials rely on the assumption of pairwise Lennard-Jones (LJ) (12-6) interactions of a fluid atom with a surface that has a uni…

When anhydrous nevirapine was recrystallized from ethanol that contained increasing amounts of water, it was found that the amount of water affected not only the solubility but also the solvent inclusion and crystal habit of the precipitated material. This led to the crystallization of a previously unknown nevirapine…
