The development of innovative engineered epoxy composites aiming to manufacture cost-efficient materials with reduced weight and enhanced physical properties remains as a current industrial challenge. In this work we report an original procedure for manufacturing glass-fiber reinforced nanocomposites (GFECs) by employing electrospun fiber-mats reinforcing phase. These fibers have been produced ...

Fragaria nilgerrensis Schlecht. (wild strawberry) is widely distributed in Southwest China, characterized by stress tolerance and the fruits of a notable peach aroma. So far there only limited knowledge variability genetic structure this species. Using AFLP markers, we investigated 37 plants F. sampled six main mountain areas Sichuan Province analyzed their structure. Genetic similarity accordi...

In the Gilbert–Shannon–Reeds shuffle, a deck of N cards is cut into two approximately equal parts which are riffled together uniformly at random. Bayer and Diaconis (Ann. Appl. Probab. 2 294–313) famously showed that this Markov chain undergoes cutoff in total variation after 3log(N) 2log(2) shuffles. We establish for more general asymmetric riffle shuffles one cuts differently sized parts. The...

We generalize the classical Bochner formula for heat flow on evolving manifolds $$(M,g_{t})_{t \in [0,T]}$$ to an infinite-dimensional martingales parabolic path space $$P{\mathcal {M}}$$ of space-time $${\mathcal {M}} = M \times [0,T]$$ . Our new and inequalities that follow from it are strong enough characterize solutions Ricci flow. Specifically, we obtain characterizations in terms space. a...

It should be said at the outset in a paper in a series on treatment that, of course, consultation is not a form of therapy. Indeed, in some important ways it can be seen as, at times, an alternative to therapy. For historic reasons, because of the nature of the problems with which we deal, and because of the relatively ill defined (and perhaps undefinable) boundaries to our professional territo...

This study aims to find out requirements and needs to be fulfilled in developing remote Radio Frequency (RF) laboratory. Remote laboratories are newly emerging solutions for better supporting of e-learning platforms and for increasing their efficiency and effectiveness in technical education. By this way, modern universities aim to provide lifelong learning environments to extend their educatio...
