Parambalath Narendran Ashitha designed the cover image and, along with colleagues at Central Power Research Institute, wrote accompanying article on how successful deployment of nanofillers in hightemperature vulcanizing silicone rubber matrix requires chemical surface treatments. The authors utilized a facile technique employing use an in-situ modification filler surfaces. In this work, import...

We construct Birkhoff cones for dispersing billiards, which are contracted by the action of transfer operator. This construction permits study statistical properties not only regular billiards but also sequential (the billiard changes at each collision in a prescribed manner), open dynamics exits some region or dies when hitting obstacle) and many other examples. In particular, we include appli...

• M. scutellaris has established, dispersed, and is impacting control of P. crassipes. Wild populations are producing macropters dispersing via flight. Dispersal been documented from herbicide treated sites across terrestrial habitat. New have reached an equilibrium density that does not change with more releases. Changes to the historical flow nutrient levels freshwater bodies in Florida made ...

Investigators who utilize tissue culture cells in viral, metabolic, and cytogenetic studies have generally overlooked the possible influences of cell-dispersing agents on their results. Our investigations, showing that EDTA and tetraphenylboron (TPB) cause extensive in vivo changes in the uhrastructure of several organelles of cells, will be piesented fully in a later report. Reported herein ar...

This study focuses on different techniques for dispersing Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNTs) in cementitious materials. The impact of dispersion is observed through electrical resistivity and mechanical properties composites. Two contents (0.5 1% by mass cement) MWCNTs are investigated three were used to disperse CNTs water sonication: (i) pristine, P-CNT, (ii) functionalized carbon nanotub...

Abstract We study a continuous facility location problem on graph where all edges have unit length and the facilities may also be positioned in interior of edges. The goal is to position as many possible subject condition that any two at least distance $$\delta$$ δ from each other. investigate complexity this...
