This letter presents a new composite right/left-handed (CRLH) unit cell, which takes advantage of the microstrip coupled line even and odd modes. The new cell does not require vias, it is patterned on a single metal layer, and it has a geometrical circuit model that simplifies the design flow. A novel CRLH transmissio…
The conformal-evaporated-film-by-rotation technique, followed by the dissolution of chitin in an aqueous solution of orthophosphoric acid, can be used to fabricate free-standing replicas of fragile, laminar, chitinous biotemplates. This novel approach was demonstrated using butterfly wings as biotemplates and GeSeSb c…
Abstract BACKGROUND: This work addresses the need to better understand the crystallization kinetics and morphology of poly (ω‐pentadecalactone) (PPDL). This polyester has promising mechanical properties and a unique structure that resembles that of polyethylene. PPDL is a member of the poly(ω‐hydroxy fatty acid) famil…
This paper presents an analysis result of using the frequency distribution of leakage current to monitor insulator performance in salt-fog environments. Experiments have been carried out on silicone rubber insulator by injecting salt fog into an artificial fog chamber with an ultrasonic vibration salt-fog generator an…
We apply fast field cycling 1 H NMR to study segmental reorientation dynamics in melts of linear polybutadiene, polyisoprene, and polydimethylsiloxane in the high molecular weight limit. Measuring fully protonated as well as partially deuterated polymers, we show that in contrast to previous reports the relaxation beh…
Advantages of drug-incorporated collagen particles have been described for the controlled delivery system for therapeutic actions. The attractiveness of collagen lies in its low immunogenicity and high biocompatibility. It is also recognized by the body as a natural constituent rather than a foreign body. Our research…
Freestanding quasi-two-dimensional ultrathin films (e.g., 41 nm thick polymer nanosheets) were produced, on which stimuli-responsive 47 nm thick polymer brushes were constructed by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide). The resulting surfaces of the multilayered polysaccharide ultr…
This work analyzes the electromagnetic wave propagation through periodically stacked fishnets from zero frequency to the first Wood's anomaly. It is shown that, apart from Fabry-Perot resonances, these structures support two transmission bands that can be backward under the appropriate conditions. The first band start…
Relationships between third-order reactivity indicators in the closed system [N, v(r)], open system [mu, v(r)], and density [rho(r)] pictures are derived. Our method of derivation unifies and extends known results. Among the relationships is a link between the third-order response of the energy to changes in the densi…
Bacteriorhodopsin was incorporated into the shell of polymeric capsules. Light-driven variation of intercapsule volume pH with successive pore opening was demonstrated by scanning electron microscopy. Release of the encapsulated dye molecules was studied by confocal fluorescence microscopy.
In this paper, a three-phase transformer model is developed to be suitable for slow transient and power-quality studies. The proposed model takes into account the eddy currents, the magnetic core topology, and the nonlinear characteristics of the core material. In order to model the eddy currents effects in the magnet…
When an all-benzenoid nanographene is linearly unzipped into oxygen-joined fragments, the oxidized benzenoid rings (aromatic sextets) selectively adopt the low-spin (DeltaS = 0) or high-spin conformation (DeltaS = 1) to yield the thermally most stable isomer. The selection of the conformation depends simply on the pos…
In the case of an ac cable, power transmission is limited by the length of the cable due to the capacitive reactive current component. It is well known that high-voltage direct current (HVDC) cables do not have such limitations. However, insulation-related thermal problems pose a limitation on the power capability of…
In this paper, we report a new method to prepare and characterize a contrast agent based on a fourth-generation (G4) polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimer conjugated to the gadolinium complex of the bifunctional diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid derivative (1B4M-DTPA). The method involves preforming the metal-ligand chel…
The cylindrical domain diameter ( d ), spacing ( D ), and uniformity in thin films of ternary blends of a cylinder-forming polystyrene- block -poly(methyl methacrylate) block copolymer and the corresponding homopolymers were investigated as a function of the molecular weight ( M n ) and concentration (φ H ) of the hom…
The synthesis, chemistry, local structure and electrochemical properties of vanadium oxide xerogels and aerogels have much in common. The one difference in their respective synthesis routes, the means by which solvent is removed, has a significant influence on the resulting morphology. The high surface area, nanodimen…
The microstructure evolution of near rapidly directionally solidified AISI 304 stainless steel was investigated in the present paper. It is found that the microstructure consists of δ ferrite dendrites with developed sidebranches and interdendritic austenite ( γ) under the temperature gradient ( G) of 20 K mm –1 and g…
Using electron spin resonance spectroscopy (ESR), we measure the rotational mobility of probe molecules highly diluted in deeply supercooled bulk water and negligibly constrained by the possible ice fraction. The mobility increases above the putative glass transition temperature of water, T(g) = 136 K, and smoothly co…
Insulator contamination remains an important technical problem because contamination-caused insulator flashovers may jeopardize the security of high voltage power systems. This paper updates an insulator selection guide with respect to contamination first published 25 years ago. As in that guide, this update relates p…
The low-energy theory of graphene exhibits spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking due to pairing of quasiparticles and holes, corresponding to a semimetal-insulator transition at strong Coulomb coupling. We report a lattice Monte Carlo study of the critical exponents of this transition as a function of the number of Dir…
