Wall-bounded turbulent flows can be challenging to measure within experiments due the breadth of spatial and temporal scales inherent in such flows. Instrumentation capable obtaining time-resolved data (e.g., hot-wire anemometers) tends restricted spatially localized point measurements; likewise, instrumentation achieving resolved field measurements particle image velocimetry) lack sampling rat...

in order to investigate the role of multi-wall carbon nanotubes (mwcnts) on fracture mechanism of epoxy nanocomposites, a series of tensile standard specimens reinforced with different carbon nanotube contents (0, 0.3, 0.6 and 1 wt%) were produced. the fracture surfaces of the produced nanocomposites were evaluated using scanning electron microscope (sem). the results show that the surface frac...

aim : the aim of this study is to design multi-walled carbon nanotubes (mwcnts) loaded with paclitaxel (ptx) anti-cancer drug and investigate its anti-cancerous efficacy of human gastric cancer. the sidewall surfaces of pristine mwcnts are highly hydrophobic. a major goal in carbon nanotube chemistry has been functionalization for aqueous solubility, and exploiting nano-tubes as macromolecules ...

In direct injection engines, multicomponent fuels are injected at high pressures—resulting in a finely atomized spray which impacts on the hot wall of piston crown and cylinder liner. The variable operating load typical combustors results widely varying temperature ambient pressures. For quantitative prediction combustion physics, detailed data is required for impact fuel drops these heated sur...

a three day old neonate was referred to our department with a problem of a sternal cleft. sternal clefts are often associated with a myriad of other abnormalities ranging from mild to severe. we present our experience with such a problem, and review the current literature concerning it.

As the building stock plays an essential role in meeting Europe’s climate target, suitable strategies are necessary for sector transition. This paper compares two dry-multi-layer walls characterized by different compositions: one applies heat reflective insulation with Phase Change Materials (PCM), while second uses traditional glass wool batt. The experimental tests were conducted a retrofitte...

Examples of progress in fabricating branched multi-terminal multi-wall and single-wall carbon nanotube junctions as predicted by nanotechnology simulations, using template growth and nanowelding techniques, respectively, have been briefly reviewed in this report. It is argued that similar general progress in computational nanotechnologydriven fabrication of applications in other nanomaterials s...
