The purpose of this study was to optimize the thickness of anodizing Aluminum coatings processed under pulse current mode through the Design of Experiments (DOE) method. Thickness measurement, polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were employed to take Thickness and corrosion behaviors of the anodized coatings into consideration. Also, Field-emission scanning electron microsco...

We report on the thermal performance of the electroluminescence of 12-nm-thick single-quantum-well (SQW) InGaN blue light-emitting diodes (LEDs) grown on the semipolar (20 2 1) plane. At a current density 100A/cm, the external quantum efficiency (EQE) decreased by 9.7% when the temperature was increased from 20 to 100 C. Hot/cold factors were more than 0.9 at current densities greater than 20A/...

Frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) has been applied to catalytic metal-free hydrogenation. Can the FLP reactivity be used for catalytic hydroamination? Using density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we have explored whether the molecules cat1-cat3, which were previously designed by integrating the dearomatization-aromatization effect and the FLP reactivity, can catalyze the intramolecular hydro...

 Recently, special type of fuel cells has been developed that operates in a Dead End mode. Working in this condition, the Dead-End fuel cell is supplied withhydrogen almost at the same rate of consumption. It is noteworthy to mention thatall of the water transport mechanisms have been considered in this simulation.Water accumulation that is directly proportional to the cell current is of a grea...

1,4-Diamino-substituted anthraquinone antitumor agents (mitoxantrone and ametantrone) and structurally related 1,5- and 1,8-diamino-substituted compounds (AM1 and AM2) were tested for their ability to photosensitize human leukemic cells in culture. Viability was measured using the 3,4,5-dimethylthiazol-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide assay, and DNA and membrane damage were assessed. Following ...

In this paper, the noise equivalent power (NEP) of an optical sensor based ongraphene-superconductor junctions in the constant current mode of operation has beencalculated. Furthermore, the necessary investigations to optimize the device noise withrespect to various parameters such as the operating temperature, magnetic field, deviceresistance, voltage and current bias have been presented. By s...

Data of wind speed, wind direction and temperature obtained from a meteorological mast and a RASS sodar are contrasted. Wind data were compared at a height of 100 m and temperature at 51 and 100 m. 10 minute averages during the month of April 2001 were used. Wind speeds showed satisfactory correlation and the temperature fit was better at 100 m than at 51 m. Mast data were steadier than those f...
