We use a plane-wave technique to study the electron and hole wave functions in self-assembled InGaAs quantum rings, investigating the influence on the electron-hole overlap of variations in the ring shape and composition profiles, and including the effects of built-in strain and the piezoelectric potential. Lateral variation of the ground-state electron and hole wave functions in a perfect ring...

Axial fully-reversed strain-controlled ([Formula: see text]) fatigue experiments were performed to obtain data demonstrating the effects of building orientation (i.e. vertical versus horizontal) and heat treatment on the fatigue behavior of 17-4 PH stainless steel (SS) fabricated via Selective Laser Melting (SLM) (Yadollahi et al., submitted for publication [1]). This data article provides deta...

Combined analysis of restriction fragment length polymorphism of regions of genes coding for rRNA (ribotyping) and esterase electrophoretic typing was used to document neonatal acquisition of Escherichia coli in twins. Our study shows vertical mother-to-infant transmission of one strain of E. coli to one twin and the development of neonatal septicemia with a distinct nonvirulent carboxylesteras...

This paper concerns the effect of friction on crack propagation for centrally cracked Brazilian disk under diametric forces by using a modified finite element method. It shows that mode II stress intensity factor decreases obviously with increase after is closed, while has no influence I and T-stress. Meanwhile, there are some significant influences due to change closed appropriate loading angl...

An earthquake with the magnitude of 5.9 Mw occurred in Qeshm Island and Hormozgan province in November 27th 2005. 3D co-seismic deformation field caused by the earthquake are determined based on the ascending and descending interferograms and azimuth offsets. The peak to peak estimated displacement is about 10 cm in west, 69 cm in north and 22 cm in vertical directions. We apply strain analysis...
