In the present work, a three-dimensional molecular dynamics simulation is carried out to perform the nanoindentation experiment on Ni single crystal. The substrate indenter system is modeled using hybrid interatomic potentials including the many-body potential embedded atom method (EAM), and two-body morse potential.…
Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) is a frequently used polymer in the pharmaceutical and foodstuff industries. Because it is not subject to metabolic changes and is virtually nondegradable, trace concentrations of PVP are often found in community wastewaters. The literature finds that the partial removal of PVP in wastewater…
The Coastal Lithotectonic Block of the Brunswick pegmatite field and the Central Maine Synclinorium of the Oxford pegmatite field, in Maine, are intruded by numerous rare-element granitic pegmatites that carry columbite-group minerals (CGM) as the principal (Nb,Ta)-bearing phases. Generally, the CGM from Maine are hos…
An improved ultra-wideband (UWB) and high gain rectangular antenna is specifically designed in this paper using planar-patterned metamaterial concepts. The antenna has isolated triangle gaps and crossed gaps etched on the metal patch and ground plane, respectively. By changing the pattern on the ground, the impedance…
CdTe:Cu films were grown by pulsed laser deposition on Corning glass slides at a substrate temperature of 300 °C. The thin films were grown using CdTe and Cu2Te powders, varying the Cu2Te concentration from 3 to 10 wt. %. The structural, compositional, optical, and electrical properties were analyzed as a function of…
14-facets polyhedra chalcocite Cu2S nanocrystals were synthesized by a solvothermal method. It was found that the presence of trio-n-octylphosphine during the synthesis was essential for the exposure of unconventional {110} faces. Results from photoelectrochemical measurements indicated that the polyhedra bounded by {…
We have proposed and demonstrated an L-band passively harmonic mode-locked fiber laser based on a graphene saturable absorber (SA). By adjusting the pump power and the polarization controller, we have experimentally observed L-band fundamental and harmonic mode-locked optical pulses. The fundamental optical pulse has…
Titanium Diboride (TiB2) presents high mechanical and physical properties. Some wear studies were also carried out in order to evaluate its tribological properties. One of the most popular wear tests for thin films is the ball-cratering configuration. This work was focused on the study of the tribological properties o…
This instrument allows controlled evaporation of the alkali metal cesium over a wide range of evaporation rates. The oven has three unique features. The first is an alkali metal reservoir that uses a dispenser as a cesium source. The heating current of the dispenser controls the evaporation rate allowing generation of…
This Special Issue of Transactions on Dielectrics and Electrical Insulation is dedicated to transformer insulation. The transformer is a very essential apparatus in an electric power system and its reliability is of utmost importance as a transformer failure results in a very costly and difficult to predict interrupti…
Using higher-order terms of the Williams expansion is necessary for assessment of fracture behavior of quasi-brittle materials. Multi-parameter fracture mechanics enables more accurate determination of the stress/displacement field even in a larger distance from the crack tip, thus the extended zone with non-elastic b…
Abstract Cesium ions (Cs+) strongly adsorbed in vermiculite clay (Verm) were efficiently desorbed by reacting with magnesium ions (Mg2+). 70–90% removal of adsorbed Cs+ ions was achieved when Verm loaded with 0.1–100 µmol g−1 Cs+ (corresponding to 0.016–16% of the saturation amount) was mixed with 3.0 mol L−1 aqueous…
Abstract Dehydrogenation of propane in the presence of CO 2 was considered as an alternative to commercial dehydrogenation pathway of obtaining propene and the new sources of synthesis gas. Based on thermodynamic calculations and a catalytic tests it was shown that by controlling CO 2 concentration in the feed the mol…
Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) are germline receptors that recognize conserved structures on microorganisms. Several PRRs have been identified in the recent years that are involved in the immune response against Aspergillus fumigatus. The role of PRRs in invasive pulmonary aspergillosis becomes especially appare…
Cervical cancer remains a major problem in women's health worldwide. In this research, a novel biodegradable d-α-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate-b-poly(ε-caprolactone-ran-glycolide) (TPGS-b-(PCL-ran-PGA)) nanoparticle (NP) was developed as a co-delivery system of docetaxel and endostatin for the synergis…
We have developed AlON high-k gate dielectric technology that can be easily implemented into both planar and trench SiC-based MOSFETs. On the basis of electrical characterization and numerical simulation, the thickness ratio of the AlON layer to the SiO2interlayer and nitrogen content in AlON film were carefully optim…
Myocardial infarction (MI) is characterized by heart-wall thinning, myocyte slippage, and ventricular dilation. The injury to the heart-wall muscle after MI is permanent, as after an abundant cell loss the myocardial tissue lacks the intrinsic capability to regenerate. New therapeutics are required for functional impr…
In this study, isophthalic acid-zirconium(IV) nanocomposite has been prepared from zirconyl nitrate pentahydrate and potassium iodide, with isophthalic acid, (C8H6O4=Benzene-1,3-dicarboxylic acid) as a ligand, via sonochemical method in ethylene glycol and methanol as solvents. The crystalline tetragonal ZrO2 has been…
The use of kapok fibre with polypropylene fibre for the development of sound absorptive nonwoven materials has been explored. Three different blend ratios of kapok and polypropylene fibres, namely 30:70, 40:60 and 50:50 have been used. The composites are characterized for their physical properties, namely thickness, d…
The software developed within the framework of the MCU project which implements the Monte Carlo method for solving the transport equations for various kinds of radiation is widely used for calculating nuclear reactors of different types. The final version of MCU-5 is described. The developed libraries of constants are…
