The concept of Scientific or Engineering Workflows is an amalgamation of scientific problem-solving and traditional workflow techniques. Scientific workflows promise to become an important area of research within workflow and process automation, and will lead to the development of the next generation of problem-solving and decision-support environments. DiscoveryNet technology, commercialised b...

When the channel size was reduced to 10-100 nm space, which we call extended-nano space, various unique liquid properties were observed in SiO2 nanochannels for protonic solvents. SiOH groups on the substrate were verified to work as proton donors and affected the liquid property change. However, there is no investigation of the dependence on other proton-donor functional groups. In this presen...

Recently we proposed a periodic surface (PS) model for computer aided nano design (CAND). This implicit surface model allows for parametric model construction at atomic, molecular, and meso scales. In this paper, loci surface reconstruction is studied based on a generalized PS model. An incremental searching algorithm is developed to reconstruct PS models from crystals. Two metrics to measure t...

We report on a possibility of efficient engineering of the acoustic phonon energy spectrum in multishell tubular structures produced by a novel high-tech method of self-organization of microand nano-architectures. The strain-driven roll-up procedure paved the way for novel classes of metamaterials such as single semiconductor radial microand nano-crystals and multi-layer spiral microand nano-su...

We have demonstrated the synthesis of γ-Fe2O3 nano-particles through a facile and novel calcination process in the air. There is no pH regulation, gas atmosphere, additive, centrifugation or other complicated procedures during the preparing process. A detailed formation process of the nano-particles is proposed, and DMF as a polar solvent may slower the reaction process of calcination. The stru...

   Physical study of nano ribbon, tetragonal bundled and isolated nano tube SiC (7,0) are part of our project in knowing new nano material such a silicon carbide. These studies have been performed by density function theory. Effect of ribboning, tubulating and tetragonal bundling on the physical properties such as stability, structural constants, optical physics, chemical parameters and mag...

The aim of this research work is to evaluate the effects of coolant including nano- powder material for the cooling purpose in milling process and comparing the results with the conventional coolant. Generation heat and weak heat transfer reduces the tool life and also deteriorate surface roughness during milling operation. To overcome this problem, it is necessary to use coolant for cooling as...

One of the principal problems with nano-crystalline materials is producing them in quantities and sizes large enough for valid mechanical property evaluation. The purpose of this study was to explore an innovative method for producing nano-crystalline γ-TiAl bulk materials using high energy ball milling and brief secondary processes. Nano-crystalline powder feedstock was produced using a Fritsc...

A microfluidic-based directed assembly strategy is employed to form highly aligned supramolecular structures. Formation of aligned synthetic oligopeptide nanostructures is accomplished using planar extensional flow, which induces alignment of underlying material suprastructures. Fluidic-directed assembly of supramolecular structures allows for unprecedented manipulation at the nano- and mesosca...
