Near-field microwave microscopy has created the opportunity for a new class of electrodynamics experiments of materials. Freed from the constraints of traditional microwave optics, experiments can be carried out at high spatial resolution over a broad frequency range. In addition, the measurements can be done quantitatively so that images of microwave materials properties can be created. We rev...

We report the direct and self-selective synthesis of Ag nanowires (NWs) on graphene patterns through a modified citrate reduction reaction approach. High-density NWs were selectively formed only on the graphene areas, whereas NWs were not synthesized on the SiO2/Si and glass substrates. The size and density of the Ag NWs gradually increased with increasing reaction time and AgNO3 concentration....

1.1.3.) Produce a statistical summary that includes: (a.) counters for the spectral combinations produced, binned by brightest-band magnitude; (b.) mean position offsets and variances on both position axes for all band-pair combinations; (c.) chi-square values for all band-pair position discrepancies, binned by brightest-band magnitude. Items (b.) and (c.) will use only bandmerged sources with ...

PURPOSE To develop a novel method for constructing a sheet of human corneal endothelial cells (HCECs) and examine the properties of the HCEC sheet. METHODS HCECs were cultured on a cell culture insert for a week; ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid was applied from the bottom of the cell culture insert to attenuate the attachment of HCECs. The sheet of HCECs was constructed by bluntly detaching ...

Since its original description, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) has been considered to be a system of flattened cisternae interconnected with canalicular bridges or tubules (1) . This three-dimensional model of the ER was inferred mainly from images obtained on spread cells in toto where the ER appears as a continuous branching network . Subsequently, Palade (2) reported that the ER cisternae we...

18 The formation and rapid drainage of supraglacial lakes (SGL) influences the mass balance and 19 dynamics of the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS). Although SGLs are expected to spread inland 20 during the 21 century due to atmospheric warming, less is known about their future spatial 21 distribution and volume. We use GrIS surface elevation model and regional climate model 22 outputs to show that a...

A series of polyethylene glycol (PEG) functionalized graphene sheet hybrid materials (FGHMs) have been successfully synthesized via ester linkages. Interestingly, our products can be dispersed in both polar/protic solvents and nonpolar/nonprotic ones, which differ significantly from previously reported systems and are of great value in the wide-spread application of these "carbon nanosheet" bas...

In vivo electronic monitoring systems are promising technology to obtain biosignals with high spatiotemporal resolution and sensitivity. Here we demonstrate the fabrication of a biocompatible highly conductive gel composite comprising multi-walled carbon nanotube-dispersed sheet with an aqueous hydrogel. This gel composite exhibits admittance of 100 mS cm(-2) and maintains high admittance even ...

the present study deals with the analysis of the effects of radiative heat transfer of micropolar fluid flow over a porous and stretching sheet in the presence of magnetic field. the dynamic viscosity and thermal conductivity coefficient have formulated by temperature-dependent relations to obtain more exact results. the flow is supposed two-dimensional, incompressible, steady and laminar and t...
