Sub-picosecond optical pulses have been successfully generated using a novel monolithic passive colliding pulse mode-locked (CPM)l semiconductor multiple quantum-well (MQW) laser. Transform-limited pulse width of 830 femto-seconds is achieved at a wavelength of 1.5pm and a repetition rate of 80 GHz. The measured timebandwidth product is 0.31. A record high repetition rate of 350 GHz is also dem...

Monolithic supports are efficient stationary phases for most of the important chromatographic separation modes. They can be applied for the chromatographic separation of biomolecules, nanoparticles, proteins, peptides, nucleic acids and low molecular mass organic acids. At the industrial level, monolithic chromatography is frequently used for the purification of large plasmids and bacteriophage...

In the present work, polymer monolithic columns were prepared via atom transfer radical polymerization technique by using triallyl isocyanurate as monomer, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as cross linking agent, polyethyleneglycol 200 and 1,4-butylene glycol as binary porogens, N,N-dimethylformamide as solvent, FeCl2 as catalyst, and CCl4 as initiator. Different monolithic columns were obtained ...

a high performance liquid chromatographic method was developed for determination of aflatoxin b1 (afb1) in foods using a monolithic column with sample clean up on an immunoaffinity column. the method was validated for analysis of afb1 in rice, bread, puffed corn snack, wheat flour and peanut samples. the average recoveries for afb1 in different foods ranged from 94.4 to 102.5% with the coeffici...

A new solution for building high power, solid state lasers for space flight is to fabricate the whole laser resonator in a single (monolithic) structure or alternatively to build a contiguous diffusion bonded or welded structure. Monolithic lasers provide numerous advantages for space flight solid-state lasers by minimizing misalignment concerns. The closed cavity is immune to contamination. Th...

HPLC stationary phases of monolithic and fused core type can be used to achieve fast chromatographic separation as an alternative to UPLC. In this study, monolithic and fused core stationary phases are compared for fast separation of four fat-soluble vitamins. Three new methods on the first and second generation monolithic silica RP-18e columns and a fused core pentafluoro-phenyl propyl column ...

Hybrid, hierarchically organized, monolithic silica gels, comprising periodically arranged mesopores and a cellular macroscopic network, have been prepared through a co-condensation reaction of tetrakis(2-hydroxyethyl)orthosilicate with chloromethyl-trimethoxysilane or 3-(chloropropyl)-triethoxysilane. Subsequent conversion of the chloro groups into azido groups, by nucleophilic substitution wi...

A monolithic caisson is one of the major structural components commonly used in the construction of docks, breakwaters, and container terminal quay walls. Since the structure of monolithic caissons is typical and somewhat simple, its design process is also typical and repetitive, but still time consuming. To reduce the total time and enhance productivity, we developed a parametric model in Revi...

A virtual cluster is a promising technology for reducing management costs and improving capacity utilization in datacenters and computer centers. However, recent cluster virtualization systems do not have the maximum scalability and flexibility required, due to limited hardware resources at one site. Therefore, we are now developing an advanced cluster management system for multi-site virtual c...
