Abstract We consider the problem of determining, within an elastic isotropic nanoplate in bending, possible presence inclusion made different material. Under suitable a priori assumptions on unknown inclusion, we provide quantitative upper and lower estimates for area defect terms works exerted by boundary data when is present it absent.

Abstract A mathematical model for nonlocal vibration and buckling of embedded two-dimensional (2D) decagonal quasicrystal (QC) layered nanoplates is proposed. The Pasternak-type foundation used to simulate the interaction between elastic medium. exact solutions frequency critical load 2D QC are obtained by solving eigensystem using propagator matrix method. present three-dimensional (3D) soluti...

White light-emitting diodes (WLEDs) are candidates to revolutionize the lighting industry towards energy efficient and environmental friendly lighting and displays. The current challenges in WLEDs encompass high luminous efficiency, chromatic stability, high colour-rending index and price competitiveness. Recently, the development of efficient and low-cost downconverting photoluminescent phosph...

Novel applications of nanostructures in catalysis, electronics, photonics, and bionanotechnology are driving the exploration of synthetic approaches to control and manipulate their chemical composition, structure, and morphology. As well as the design of synthetic strategies to produce a new class of nanoscale materials, recent developments have enabled the chemical transformation of one crysta...

BACKGROUND Previous studies have demonstrated that elevated admission and fasting glucose (FG) is associated with worse outcomes in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, the quantitative relationship between FG levels and in-hospital mortality in patients with AMI remains unknown. The aim of the study is to assess the prevalence of elevated FG levels in hospitalized Chinese ...

In addition to its pivotal role in hemostasis, fibrinogen (Fg) and provisional fibrin matrices play important roles in inflammation and regulate innate immune responses by interacting with leukocytes. Efb (the extracellular fibrinogen-binding protein) is a secreted Staphylococcus aureus protein that engages host Fg and complement C3. However, the molecular details underlying the Efb-Fg interact...

A sandwich structured Bi2Te3-nanoplates/graphene-nanosheet (Bi2Te3/G) hybrid has been synthesized by a facile in situ solvothermal route and has been investigated as a potential anode material for Li-ion batteries. Bi2Te3 grows during the solvothermal process with the simultaneous reduction of graphite oxide into graphene. The in situ formation process of the hybrid has been investigated by X-r...

A W-containing inorganic-organic nanohybrid with a plate-like morphology has been successfully prepared through a nonaqueous synthetic route using WCl(6) as the tungsten source and benzyl alcohol as the solvent. The as-prepared hybrid nanomaterial was used directly as an efficient precursor for the formation of WO(3) nanoplates via a simple thermal treatment process. The as-obtained WO(3) mater...
