Water-Dispersible Three-Dimensional LC-Nanoresonators

Water-Dispersible Three-Dimensional LC-Nanoresonators

Nanolithography techniques enable the fabrication of complex nanodevices that can be used for biosensing purposes. However, these devices are normally supported by a substrate and their use is limited to in vitro applications. Following a top-down procedure, we designed and fabricated composite inductance-capacitance (LC) nanoresonators that can be detached from their substrate and dispersed in...

Three - Dimensional Shallow Water Acoustics

Both physical oceanographic processes and marine geological features in the continental shelf can cause the medium properties to have lateral heterogeneity, so horizontal refraction of sound can occur and produce significant three-dimensional (3-D) sound propagation effects. The long-term goals of this project are targeted on understanding the 3-D acoustic effects caused by the environmental fa...

Water dispersible microbicidal cellulose acetate phthalate film

BACKGROUND Cellulose acetate phthalate (CAP) has been used for several decades in the pharmaceutical industry for enteric film coating of oral tablets and capsules. Micronized CAP, available commercially as "Aquateric" and containing additional ingredients required for micronization, used for tablet coating from water dispersions, was shown to adsorb and inactivate the human immunodeficiency vi...

Computation of three-dimensional standing water waves

Three-dimensional Solitary Gravity-capillary Water Waves

The existence of solitary-wave solutions to the three-dimensional water-wave problem with strong surface-tension effects is predicted by the KP-I model equation. The term solitary wave describes any solution which has a pulse-like profile in its direction of propagation, and the KP-I equation admits explicit solutions for three different types of solitary wave. A line solitary wave is spatially...
