We investigate a W-Ta alloying route to reduce the auto-oscillation current densities and power consumption of nano-constriction based spin Hall nano oscillators. Using spin-torque ferromagnetic resonance (ST-FMR) measurements on microbars W$_{\text{100-x}}$Ta$_{\text{x}}$(5 nm)/CoFeB(t)/MgO stacks with t = 1.4, 1.8, 2.0 nm, we measure substantial improvement in both spin-orbit torque efficienc...

The purpose of this research is to investigate the mechanical and electrical properties of nano structured cordierite. Nano grain size powders were synthesized through mechanical activation by high-energy ball milling of the starting powders containing 34.86 wt% Al2O3, 51.36 wt% SiO2, and 13.78 wt% MgO. Samples were prepared by conventional and microwave sintering at 1390°C. SEM observations il...

Domestic RO systems are commonly installed in households for water purification and treatment, typically drinking purposes. While effectively remove impurities, such as dissolved salts, minerals, contaminants from tap water, they produce a concentrated waste stream known reject. This reject contains the that were removed during filtration process. can be utilized other domestic, agricultural, i...

This study aims to examine the potential of non-edible seed oil ( Cucumis melo var. agrestis ), content 29.1%, FFA 0.64 (mg KOH/g) for biodiesel production via nano-catalyst. The catalyst was characterized using X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersive (EDX). maximum yield (93%) attained under optimized co...

In recent years, interface engineering of solid electrolytes has been explored to increase their ionic conductivity and improve the performance of solid oxide fuel cells and other electrochemical power sources. It has been observed that the ionic conductivity of epitaxially grown thin films of some electrolytes is dramatically enhanced, which is often attributed to effects (e.g. strain-induced ...

Methylglyoxal (MGO) is a reactive metabolite of glucose. Since the plasma concentration of MGO is increased in diabetic patients, MGO is implicated in diabetes-associated vascular endothelial cells (ECs) injury, which might be responsible for atherosclerosis. In the present study, we examined effects of treatment of human umbilical vein ECs with MGO on EC morphology and inflammatory responses. ...

Methylglyoxal (MGO)-induced carbonyl stress and pro-inflammatory responses have been suggested to contribute to endothelial dysfunction. Curcumin (Cur), a polyphenolic compound from Curcuma longa L., may protect endothelial cells against carbonyl stress-induced damage by trapping dicarbonyl compounds such as MGO. However, Cur-MGO adducts have not been studied in depth to date and it remains to ...

New emission spectra for MgO and radiation propagates through the unshocked portion CaA12Si208(glass ) are observed from 430 to 820 nm. of the sample to a mirror which reflects the light Taken with previous data, we suggest that out of the tank. The light is focused upon a transparent solids display three regimes of light diffraction grating and is dispersed to illuminate emission upon shock co...
