Highly ordered TiO2 nanotube arrays are superior photoanodes for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) due to reduced intertube connections, vectorial electron transport, suppressed electron recombination, and enhanced light scattering. Performance of the cells is greatly affected by tube geometry, such as wall thickness, length, inner diameter and intertube spacing. In this paper, effect of geome...

A new antidynamo theorem for non-stretched twisted magnetic flux tube dynamo is obtained. Though Riemannian curvature cannot be neglected since one considers curved magnetic flux tube axis, the stretch can be neglect since one only considers the limit of thin magnetic flux tubes. The theorem states that marginal or slow dynamos along curved (folded), torsioned (twisted) and non-stretched flux t...

Introduction: This study aimed to establish the conversion factors to normalize the output dose of volumetric computed tomography dose index (CTDIvol) to the patient dose (i.e. size-specific dose estimate (SSDE)) for various phantom diameters and tube voltages. Material and Methods: In-house cylindrical acrylic phantoms with physical diameter...

A fully-coupled, finite-element method is used to investigate the steady flow of a viscous fluid through a thin-walled, elastic tube mounted between two rigid tubes. The steady, three-dimensional, Navier–Stokes equations are solved simultaneously with the equations of geometrically-non-linear, Kirchhoff–Love shell theory. If the transmural (internal minus external) pressure acting on the tube i...

We present the case of successful repair of an exposed glaucoma drainage tube by cornea graft fixation with tissue adhesive, and without subsequent coverage by adjacent conjunctiva or donor tissues. Patient with history of keratoglobus with thin cornea and sclera, and phthisical contralateral eye, underwent three unsuccessful corneal grafts followed by Boston type 1 keratoprosthesis in the righ...

Tube systems are widely used in heat transfer and intensive research is being done on positioning tubes a platform. The platform structure constantly exposed to thermal changes under operating conditions the resulting stresses cause damage existing systems. In this study, 8 thin-walled were positioned flat curved platforms that stress behavior effects was investigated. Finite element analysis u...

We assume that a self-gravitating string is locally described by a thin tube of matter represented by a " smoothed conical metric ". If we impose a specific constraint on the model of string then its central line obeys the Nambu-Goto dynamics in the limit where the radius of the tube tends to zero. If no constraint is added then the world sheet of the central line is totally geodesic. It is adm...

According to present theories, the Sun's magnetic eld rises through the convection zone in the form of slender strands known as ux tubes, traditionally studied using \thin ux tube" models. While these models have been remarkably successful they have only recently begun to account for tubes with twisted magnetic ux, in spite of observational evidence for such twist. In this work we review the re...

In this article we study standing kink waves in twisted magnetic tubes. We use the cold plasma and thin tube approximation. We assume that the plasma density is constant inside and outside the tube. We also assume that the magnetic twist is weak and take the ratio of the azimuthal and axial component of the magnetic field to be of the order of ratio of the tube radius and tube length. The azimu...

404 CLINICAL CHEMISTRY, Vol. 29, No. 2, 1983 the particular advantages that “dirty” extracts may be easily processed by repeated “washing” and that the stationary phase is disposable. In our experience, however, the main drawback to the technique has been the difficulty of transferring an appreciable proportion of drug in a dried extract to the chromatographic plate. It is not easy to dissolve ...
