Realizing the limits of sensitivity, while maintaining selectivity, is an ongoing quest. Among the multitude of requirements, national security, early detection of diseases, safety of public utilities, and radiation prevention are some of the areas in need of ultralow detection. Structural, functional, and electronic features of nanomaterials are used to develop reliable analytical methods. Sev...

This paper investigates effects of different additives on morphology and subsequently, separation performance of asymmetric flat sheet Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes to separate CO2 using membrane contractor. Five different additives from different chemical families including Lithium chloride (salt), Polyethylene glycol 400 (polymer), glycerol (weak anti-solvents), methanol...

The problem of accurate determination of the position, orientation and width of involute spur gear teeth using a single front-lit image is addressed. The information is used to compute global measures of tooth concentricity and pitch variations across a gear wheel. The approach is based on the use of specialised filters which make maximum use of the grey level information available in the image...

Accurate description of solubility and defect ionization energies in low dimensional nanostructures is critical for electronic applications semiconductors with improved functionalities. Here, we present quantum confinement effect driven strategies tuning level hydrogen doping the core region rutile [Formula: see text](R) nanowires. The inverse dependence a bandgap diameter ([Formula: text]) con...

the projected rainfall change under various scenarios is likely to have both positive and negative implications on agriculture and water supply because in rainfall pattern across the country. rise in rainfall is seen over all states except punjab, rajasthan and tamil nadu, which show slight decrease in precipitation in the future scenarios. marked increase in covering the western ghats and nort...

The multi-level feature of GeTe/Sb2Te3 interfacial phase change memory was achieved by applying a designed voltage-based pulse. It stably demonstrated five states without interference for 90 cycles varying the pulse width. retention time > 1.0 × 103 s, presenting significantly low drift coefficient (ν) < 0.009, indicating no resistivity due to structure relaxation glass. In addition, reset ener...

In a dipole or in quadrupole accelerator magnet, the displacement of coil turns induced by electromagnetic forces can cause quenches limiting magnet performance. For this reason, an azimuthal preload is applied to avoid movements up required operational current. However, several tests showed that magnets operate with partial preload, i.e., unloading during ramp does not prevent reaching higher ...

Inefficiencies in mine equipment maintenance processes result high operation costs and reduce sustainability. However, current methods for process optimization are limited due to a lack of access structured data. This research aims test the hypothesis that mining techniques can be used optimize workflow using low-level is achieved through process-oriented analysis where data processed as an eve...
