Highly ordered self-assembled multi-layer structures with denatured collagen wrapped single wall carbon nanotubes and surfactant systems were obtained through bioinspired methodology.

Available online 5 August 2008 PACS: Multi-wall nitrogenated car Cl) and hence studied their decreased from ~1.0 V/μm t 73.22.−f

A pebble drop divertor concept is proposed for future fusion reactor. The marked feature of this system is the use of multi-layer pebbles that consists of a central kernel and some coating layers, as a divertor surface component. By using multi-layer pebbles, pebble drop divertor have the advantages such as steady state wall pumping with low bulk tritium retention. The performance of whole dive...

In this paper, we present a solution for educational presentation which can integrate images, documents, videos, and especially 3D models in a tree based structure. The solution is based on HTML5 and JavaScript, using SVG and X3D techniques and interacting with multi-touch events, therefore supporting multi-touch surfaces that can run a fully-functional browser. In practice, our solution is use...

−Dividing wall columns, capable of reducing the energy required for the separation of ternary mixtures, were explored for the energy-efficient integration of debutanization and deisobutanization. A new practical approach to the design and optimization of dividing wall columns was used to optimize dividing wall columns. A conventional dividing wall column and a multi-effect prefractionator arran...

Carboxylic functionalization (-COOH groups) of carbon nanotubes is known to improve their dispersion properties and increase the electrical conductivity of carbon-nanotube-polymer nanocomposites. We have studied experimentally the effects of this type of functionalization on the thermal conductivity of the nanocomposites. It was found that while even small quantities of carbon nanotubes (~1 wt ...

The cell wall has long been acknowledged as an important physical mediator of growth in plants. Recent experimental and modelling work has brought the importance of cell wall mechanics into the forefront again. These data have challenged existing dogmas that relate cell wall structure to cell/organ growth, that uncouple elasticity from extensibility, and those which treat the cell wall as a pas...

It is generally believed that the temperature and velocity fields are highly coupled in compressible wall-bounded turbulence. In present study, we employ a linear model, i.e. two-dimensional spectral stochastic estimation (SLSE), to study this coupling from perspective of multi-scale energy-containing eddies. Particular attention paid relevant statistical characteristics field. The connections ...
