Structure and thermophysical properties of single-wall Si nanotubes

In this work, molecular dynamics (MD) simulation based on the environment-dependent interatomic potential is carried out to explore the structure, atomic energy distribution, and thermophysical properties of single-wall Si nanotubes (SWSNTs). The unique structure of SWSNTs leads to a wider range energy distribution than crystal Si (c-Si), and results in a bond order in the range of 4.8~5. The t...

DETERMINATION OF THE THERMOPHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF SOIL SAMPLES Earth System Science Program

De-Fences

The demonstration’s vehicle will be the multimedia performance «DE-FENCES», the outcome of the international «CUT Project», dealing with Europe’s new geography and questioning current «walls» and «separating lines» after the Fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of the Cold War, developed through Research and Residencies in former and present “cut” territories [Berlin, Palestine, Nicosia, Kosovo]...

Optimal array of sand fences

Sand fences are widely applied to prevent soil erosion by wind in areas affected by desertification. Sand fences also provide a way to reduce the emission rate of dust particles, which is triggered mainly by the impacts of wind-blown sand grains onto the soil and affects the Earth's climate. Many different types of fence have been designed and their effects on the sediment transport dynamics st...

Mend Your Fences

The intestinal epithelium can be easily disrupted during gut inflammation as seen in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), such as ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease. For a long time, research into the pathophysiology of IBD has been focused on immune cell-mediated mechanisms. Recent evidence, however, suggests that the intestinal epithelium might play a major role in the development and perpetu...
