Raman excitation profiles are obtained and compared for carbon nanotube radial breathing mode (RBM) fundamental and overtone vibrations for 5 specific chiralities. Fitting of the Raman excitation data is performed using Raman transform theory. The Huang-Rhys factors obtained from the modeling are directly related to the magnitude of the RBM exciton-phonon coupling element, which is shown to be ...

We describe the imbibition process from a point source into a homogeneous semi-infinite porous material. When body forces are negligible, the advance of the wetting front is driven by capillary pressure and resisted by viscous forces. With the assumption that the wetting front assumes a hemispherical shape, our analytical results show that the absorbed volume flow rate is approximately constant...

BACKGROUND A retrospective study was conducted to evaluate the advantages of anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap in tongue reconstruction. METHOD From September 2008 to February 2012, patients receiving ALT flap tongue reconstruction were included in the study. Patients undergoing ALT flap were compared with those undergoing similar surgery with radial forearm flap (RFF). The medical records of th...

Resumen: En un grupo de treinta y cuatro indígenas de varias localidades de los grupos Cabécar y Guaymí, en el sureste de Costa Rica, se determinó los niveles de IgG, IgA e IgM en suero, mediante inmunodifusión radial. Se comparó los resultados con los descritos en un grupo de adultos sanos costarricenses de zonas urbanas. Los niveles de inmunoglobulinu en el grupo de indígenas fueron mayores q...

INTRODUCTION Patients with diabetes for more than 10 years may have an increase in peak plantar pressure, considerable postural oscillation, balance deficit, alterations in gait pattern and an increased risk of falls. The aim of the present study was to assess the correlation between plantar pressure distribution and balance in patients with diabetes using a pressure platform (Footwork). MATE...

Magnetic fields emanate from radial tires due to the presence of reinforcing belts which are made of magnetized steel wire. When these tires spin, they generate alternating magnetic fields of extremely low frequency (ELF), usually below 20 Hz. The fundamental frequency of these fields is determined by tire rotation rate and has a sinusoidal waveform with a high harmonic content. The static fiel...

PURPOSE To describe a topographically guided photorefractive keratectomy technique for the management of secondary hyperopia following radial keratectomy. METHODS A retrospective study was carried out in patients where a topographically guided photorefractive keratectomy technique was performed for the management of secondary hyperopia following radial keratectomy. The patients had preoperati...

The radial Schrodinger equation for a spherically symmetric potential can be regarded as a one-dimensional classical harmonic oscillator with a time-dependent spring constant. For solving classical dynamics problems, symplectic integrators are well known for their excellent conservation properties. The class of gradient symplectic algorithms is particularly suited for solving harmonic-oscillato...
