Surface treatments of the biomaterials are of great interest in many biomedical applications. Hydroxyapatite is a favorable candidate for surface modification of the implants. To date, a wide variety of methods have been developed to produce bio-active/biocompatible coatings with desirable features in order to improve the performance of the implants. This paper strives to overview the present p...

A cylindrical direct current magnetron sputtering coater with two targets for deposition of multilayer thin films and cermet solar selective surfaces has been constructed. The substrate holder was able to rotate around the target for obtaining the uniform layer and separated multilayer phases. The Al/ Cu multilayer film was deposited on the glass substrate at the following conditions: Working g...

we will present a detailed investigation of intersubband transitions process in core-multi shells quantum dots. the confined wave functions and eigenenergies of electrons in quantum dots have been calculated under the effective-mass approximation by solving a three-dimensional schrodinger equation. excellent dependence is found between size effects, time relaxation and degenerate four wave mixi...

In this paper we present our teamwork main results in the area of the automatic speech recognition and understanding in Romanian language using hidden Markov models (HMM), artificial neural networks (multilayer perceptron, support vector machines, Kohonen networks) and hybrid models (fuzzy HMM, fuzzy multilayer perceptron, HMM/multilayer perceptron) for different small Romanian language corpora...

Synthesis of multilayer graphene on copper wires by a chemical vapor deposition method is reported. After copper etching, the multilayer tube collapses forming stripes of graphitic films, their electrical conductance as a function of temperature indicate a semiconductor-like behavior. Using the multilayer graphene stripes, a cross junction is built and owing to its electrical behavior we propos...

We present a new security technology called the Multilayer Firewall. We argue that it is useful in some situations for which other approaches, such as cryptographically protected communications, present operational or economic difficulties. In other circumstances a Multilayer Firewall can compliment such security technology by providing additional protection against intruder attacks. We first p...

Multilayer rectangular dissections have been considered such as models of multi page books in spreadsheets, 3D floor plans and stratum maps in terrain surfaces. In this paper, we deal with a representation of the multilayer rectangular dissections that are effective for ruled line oriented operations and introduce hexadecimal grids corresponding to multilayer rectangular dissections. And we sho...

in this study, in order to constitute polyelectrolyte multilayers (pem) using layer-by-layer nanotechnology, recycled fibers were subsequently treated with cationic starch (cs) and anionic starch (as) multi-layers each layer conducted at neutral ph for 10 minutes. also, to compare with mechanical of refining, the pulp was refined for 25 minutes to the freeness of about 291 ml.csf using valley b...

OBJECTIVES (i) To evaluate the role of the adherent growth mode and extracellular polymer substance build-up in biofilm resistance to antibiotics. (ii) To re-assess various mechanisms leading to biofilm resistance to antibiotics. METHODS We compared the biofilm MICs, biofilm MBCs using the viable count method, biofilm MBCs based on broth recovery methods and minimum biofilm eradication concen...
