The recycling technology of photocatalyst powdery has hardly been mature in the photocatalytic oxidation so far. In this work, hollow TiO2 microspheres with an appropriate thickness are confined carbon (CMSs) to form TiO2@CMSs, which physically integrated carbon-fiber textile by van der Waals (vdW) interactions generate separable and recyclable TiO2@CMSs/carbon-fiber vdW heterostructures. Such ...

Surface damage is one of the most problematic power limits in high-power fiber laser systems. All-fiber Faraday components are demonstrated as a solution to this problem, since they can be completely fusion-spliced into existing systems, eliminating all glass-air interfaces. Beam filamentation due to self-focusing places another limit on the peak power attainable from fiber laser systems. The l...

Due to the widespread applications of fiber reinforced polymer composites in various industries, the machining of these materials to reach the desired shapes, close tolerances and surface finish quality is of great importance. But the composite materials are anisotropic and are mostly prepared in laminated form and, therefore, they have special chip formation behaviour. Among the effective para...

The concept of an effective Verdet constant is proposed and experimentally validated. The effective Verdet constant of light propagation in a fiber includes contributions from the materials in both the core and the cladding. It is measured in a 25 wt.% terbium-doped-core phosphate fiber to be -6.2+/-0.4 rad/(Tm) at 1,053 nm, which is six times larger than silica fiber. The result agrees well wi...

In this paper, we describe a dynamic control algorithm that allows a humanoid character to swim through a fluid. The swimming is physically-based, whereby the character applies simulated muscle forces in order to drive the body through the motions of a breaststroke. The interaction between the moving body parts and a fluid dynamics system results in drag forces that cause the swimmer’s body to ...

Physically-based animation techniques enable more realistic and accurate animation to be created. Such approaches require the creation of a complex simulation model that, for computer graphics applications, can efficiently produce realistic-looking animations. We present a process to automatically create animatable nonconforming hexahedral finite element (FE) simulation models of facial soft ti...

background and objectives: constructs of behavioral models such as trans-theoretical model can be associated with healthy eating behaviors like increasing fiber intake. they can also be effective in improving these behaviors in patients with diabetes. this study aimed to assess the association of self-efficacy and decisional balance with stages of change for fiber intake and glycemic control in...
