I review the dynamical symmetry breaking (DSB) approach to the Origin of Mass, which is traced back to the original (2008 Nobel prize) work of Nambu based on the BCS analogue of superconductor where mass of nucleon (then elementary particle) arises due to Cooper paring and pions are provided as massless Nambu-Goldstone (NG) bosons, being composite as in Fermi-Yang/Sakata model. In this talk I w...

A new processing method has been developed to combine a polymer and single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) to form electrically conductive composites with desirable rheological and mechanical properties. The process involves coating polystyrene (PS) pellets with SWCNTs and then hot pressing to make a contiguous, cellular SWCNT structure. By this method, the electrical percolation threshold decre...

Here we synthesized a novel Ag/Si composite sub-micro particle using galvanic displacement by capitalizing on the active chemical surface of Si particles sludge from wafer-slicing process. Si works as chemical reactant, as well as reaction site to form composite particles. Sequent structural characterizations and analysis which include X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, scanni...

background and aims. bleaching may exert some negative effects on existing composite resin restorations. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of home bleaching on microleakage of fiber-reinforced and particle-filled composite resins. materials and methods. ninety class v cavities (1.5×2×3 mm) were prepared on the buccal surfaces of 90 bovine teeth. the teeth were randomly divided in...

objective(s): the aim of this study was to synthesis new dental nanocomposites reinforced with fabricated glass nanoparticles and compare two methods for fabrication and investigate the effect of this filler on mechanical properties. materials and methods: the glass nanoparticles were produced by wet milling process. the particle size and shape was achieved using psa and sem. glass nanoparticle...

silica exists in rice husk, an agriculture waste, as a naturally occurring phase. in first step, acidic pre-treatment and calcination of the rice husk were performed to obtain nano-silica, in which various sizes of the nano-silica, totally with sizes under 80 nm, were achieved. second, to reduce nano-silica to elemental si and subsequently formation of the composite, mg used as the reducing age...

The relationships between the transmission coefficient and the cure depth were evaluated on eight commercially available light-activated resin composites. The determination of transmission coefficient was carried out by the use of a radiometer for various shades of the resin composites. The transmission coefficient, ranging from 0.042 to 0.263, wasdependent upon the shade of the resin. There wa...

The finite-range voter system, one of stochastic particle systems, is applied to model a financial price process for further description and investigation of fluctuations of Shanghai Composite Index. For different parameter values of the intensity and the range R , we investigate the statistical behaviors of the simulation data for this financial model. Then we develop the random jump time effe...

Conductive composite bipolar plate is made of composite materials filled with high content conductive filler. The conductivity of this bipolar plate is influenced by many factors. It is difficult to use a formula to accurately calculate its conductivity, and current models have certain defaults. In this paper, in view of the contact resistance, a model is established and the conductivity formul...

The space-like asymptotic limit of the bilocal composite field of the state consisting of a nucleus and an electron is studied. It is shown that the resulting local field of an atom satisfies the proper commutation relations in the sub-Fock-space of the atom. ∗) E-mail address: [email protected] 1 typeset using PTPTEX.sty More than forty years ago, composite systems in the quantu...
