Biocompatibility and biomechanical stability are two of the main obstacles limiting the effectiveness of vascular scaffolds. To improve the biomechanical stability and biocompatibility of these scaffolds, we created a heparin-nanomodified acellular bovine jugular vein scaffold by alternating linkage of heparin and dih…

Graphene, because of its remarkable electronic and structural properties, has attracted considerable attention in both the scientific and technological communities. However, a major roadblock to the realization of graphene-based field-effect transistors is that large-area graphene behaves as a semimetal with zero band…

The effect of various high temperature heat treatments and cooling rates on the hardness of cast 60-NITINOL (60wt%Ni- 40wt%Ti) was studied. The hardness ranged from approximately 33 HRC for annealed specimens to 63 HRC for water quenched specimens. Aging did not have a further effect on the hardness of the heat-treate…

This paper presents a spectroscopic characterization of Gd(2)(WO(4))(3):Ln(3+) (Ln=Eu, Pr, Tb and Dy). The luminescence and luminescence kinetics were measured under pressures up to 250 kbar. It was found that pressure quenches the luminescence of Pr(3+) and Tb(3+), whereas the emission of Eu(3+) and Dy(3+) was stable…

The influence of various strains on the crystal and electronic structures of superconducting FeSe has been studied ab initio . We consider changes in the Fermi surface nesting with a vector Q = (0.5,0.5) × (2 π / a ) as crucial for rising superconductivity (SC) mediated by spin fluctuations (SF). Our results indicate…

In recent years there have been numerous computational studies predicting the nature of cold-compressed graphite yielding a proverbial alphabet soup of carbon structures (e.g., bct-C4, K4-, M-, H-, R-, S-, T-, W- and Z-carbon). Although theoretical methods have improved, the inherent nature of graphite (i.e., low-Z) a…
