We study a Brownian particle on a moving periodic potential. We focus on the statistical properties of the work done by the potential and the heat dissipated by the particle. When the period and the depth of the potential are both large, by using a boundary layer analysis, we calculate a cumulant generating function a…
Lanthanum phosphate (LaPO4) phosphor materials with one-dimensional (1D) nanorods and nanoparticles were successfully synthesised from LaCl3 · 7H2O and Na3PO4 · 12H2O with pH adjusted at the range 1–6 using 37% HNO3 by the microwave radiation at 180 W for 60 min. X-ray diffraction patterns indicated that the as-synthe…
The vibrational properties of Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata) wood were investigated in this study as a function of changes in moisture content (MC) and grain direction. The dynamic modulus of elasticity (DMOE) and logarithmic decrement (δ) were examined using a cantilever beam vibration testing apparatus. It wa…
Gas phase decarboxylation of hydrolyzed free fatty acid (FFA) from canola oil has been investigated in two fix-bed reactors by changing reaction parameters such as temperatures, FFA feed rates, and H2-to-FFA molar ratios. FFA, which contains mostly C18 as well as a few C16, C20, C22, and C24 FFA, was fed into the boil…
This book examines and documents methods used in safety assessment for radioactive waste disposal facilities, shows collective views based on the methods’ similarities and differences, and to identifies future work.
OPC models describe the entire patterning process, including photomask, optics, resist, and etch as a set of separately characterized modules. It is difficult, however, to definitively calibrate the optics model since the aerial image is not easily measurable. It is therefore common to calibrate relevant optical param…
We the Editor and Publisher of Journal of Experimental Nanoscience retract the following three articles:1. Nazari, Ali, and Shadi Riahi. “The effects of ZnO2 nanoparticles on split tensile strength of self-compacting concrete.” Journal of Experimental Nanoscience 7.5 (2012): 491-512, https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/fu…
We investigated the photothermal excitation of a mechanical resonator consisting of a carbon nanotube cantilever. Higher mode oscillations were successfully measured resulting from the elimination of parasitic vibrations. Based on a simple lumped model for the photothermally excited carbon nanotube cantilever, the the…
Conformational changes are essential for protein-protein and protein-ligand recognition. Here we probed changes in the structure of the protein ubiquitin at low temperatures in supercooled water using NMR spectroscopy. We demonstrate that ubiquitin is well folded down to 263 K, although slight rearrangements in the hy…
PURPOSE: The high breast density is one of the biggest risk factors for breast cancer. Identifying patient having persistent high breast density is important for breast cancer screening and prevention. In this work the authors propose for the first time an x-ray phase-shifts-based method of breast density measurement.…
Abstract Poly(vinyl laurate) (PVL) and poly(vinyl stearate) (PVS) were synthesized by means of cobalt‐mediated radical polymerization (CMRP). Cobalt(II) diacetylacetonate (Co(acac)2) was demonstrated to control the radical polymerization of these monomers in solution. Molecular weights up to 15,000 g·mol−1 were obtain…
The use of matured compost as an inoculation agent to improve the composting of vegetable and fruit wastes in a laboratory-scale composter was evaluated, and the commercial feasibility of this approach in a pilot-scale (1.8 x 10(4) L) composter was subsequently confirmed. The effect of aeration rate on the physico-che…
In sheet metal forming industries, finite element simulations are commonly used for the process/tool design. An important factor for finite element modeling is mechanical property (flow stress curves and stress–strain relationships) of the sheet material. Hydroforming bulge and uniaxial tensile tests were performed on…
Phase transitions induced by hydrostatic and uniaxial compression of Si are examined using a density functional--based metadynamics method. A metastable Cmcm structure is predicted to form under hydrostatic compression at 300 K in the pressure range near 20 GPa. Enthalpy calculations indicate that this new phase of Si…
A scheme is presented in which an organic solvent environment in combination with surfactants is used to confine a natively unfolded protein inside an inverse microemulsion droplet. This type of confinement allows a study that provides unique insight into the dynamic structure of an unfolded, flexible protein which is…
Multiadditions of heteroaddends to C(60) are achieved via the oxazolination reaction of 1,4-(PhCH(2))(2)C(60) with OH(-) and PhCN, which exhibit a unique regioselectivity regarding the addition sites of the heteroatoms.
We have investigated bipolaron formation in the Holstein-Hubbard and the Fr\"ohlich-Hubbard model on a discrete one-dimensional lattice. Phonon enriched basis has been generated by exploiting the idea of the Lang-Firsov transformation, which results in better convergence in the strong coupling regime. The incorporatio…
Bone repair or regeneration is a common and complicated clinical problem in orthopedic surgery. The importance of natural polymers, such as microcrystalline chitosan, and minerals such as HAp and β-TCP, has grown significantly over the last two decades due to their renewable and biodegradable source, increasing the kn…
Nanocomposite coatings can endow a plated surface with various properties such as wear resistance, high-temperature corrosion protection, oxidation resistance, and self-lubrication. This work studies the corrosion and corrosive wear resistance of electroplated nickel nanocomposite coatings on Ti-6Al-4V alloy in a Hank…
Ferromagnetic hexagonal cobalt nanoparticles are synthesised via reduction of cobalt acetate tetrahydrate by using sodium borohydride as a reducing agent. The morphology, crystal structure and magnetic properties of as synthesised particles are characterised by using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), powder X-ra…
