The highest concentration of aluminium (Al) in human blood has toxic effect and so, extraction from human body is very important. In this procedure, an efficient and new method based on graphene oxide nanoparticles (GONPs) dispersed in ionic liquid (IL) was used for in-vitro separation/extraction of trace Al from the blood of dialysis patients by ultrasound assisted-dispersive-micro solid phase...

Data scientists have applied various analytic models and techniques to address the oft-cited problems of large volume, high velocity data rates and diversity in semantics. Such approaches have traditionally employed analytic techniques in a streaming or batch processing paradigm. This paper presents CRUCIBLE, a first-in-class framework for the analysis of large-scale datasets that exploits both...

An induction cold crucible melting is one of the most promising technologies for the reuse and decontamination of the radioactively contaminated metallic materials generated during the dismantling of nuclear facilities, because the crucible ensures a long life operation without generating secondary wastes. Fundamental equipment of the Melting and Recycling of Metals by Cold Crucible (MERC) proc...

The implementation of catalytic hydrogen combustion (CHC) can mitigate the dependence on solid fuel typically used in Sub-Saharan Africa as a means heating. However, low-cost and readily available materials for catalyst fabrication are relatively unexplored. Considering economic constraints regarding platinum group metals generally CHC, cost support its functionalization has to be minimized. Ty...

Yang, Tian M.S.E.C.E, Purdue University, December, 2007. Capacitance-voltage studies of atomic-layer-deposited MOS structrures on Gallium Arsenide and other III-V compound semiconductors . Major Professor: Peide Ye. Si-based CMOS devices with traditional structure are approaching the fundamental physical limits. New device structures and materials must be explored to continue the trend of incre...

Infrared-responsive doped metal oxide nanocrystals are an emerging class of plasmonic materials whose localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPR) can be resonant with molecular vibrations. This presents a distinctive opportunity to manipulate light-matter interactions to redirect chemical or spectroscopic outcomes through the strong local electric fields they generate. Here we report a techniqu...

The objective of the present paper was to show the various macro-lmicrostructural appearances of the ODs materials MA 956 and PM 2000 at the surface and in the bulk after exposure to high temperatures in combustion chambers (gaseous environment). At the surface a chromium oxide layer forms above the alumina layer originally formed after preoxidation. At locations where the surface has been melt...
