Oxidized individual single-walled carbon nanotubes and amine polymers have been assembled into 11-32-nm-thick well-ordered conductive films. The films show highly anisotropic electrical conductivity, which is dominated by the nanotubes in the horizontal plane and by polymer-mediated tunneling in the vertical direction. The ratio of the "along" to "across" conductivity is approximately 10(3). Th...

in this article, the elasto-plastic analysis of thick walled fg tanks subjected to internal pressure is elaborated. today, thick walled tanks containing liquids with high pressure are used in the chemical industries. the high internal pressure causes part of the thickness of reservoir to yield; therefore, we need the elasto-plastic analysis. in this study, elasto-plastic behavior of fg cylindri...

Three-dimensional collapse of and steady flow through finite-length elastic tubes are studied numerically. The Navier-Stokes equations coupled with large, nonlinear deformation of the elastic wall are solved by using the finiteelement software, FIDAP. Three-dimensional solid elements are used for the elastic wall, allowing us to specify any wall thickness required. Plane-strain results for the ...

We determine the different possible space-time metrics inside an infinite rotating hollow cylinder with given energy density and longitudinal and azimuthal stresses, the metric outside the cylinder being chosen of the spinning cosmic string type. The solutions we obtain for various domains of values of the cylinder parameters include a space-time with topologically Euclidean spatial sections, a...

We describe a case of coccidioidomycosis in which several unusual morphologic forms of Coccidioides immitis occurred in biopsy tissue from the right lower lung of a patient. To our knowledge, this is the first case where so many diverse morphologic forms were manifested in a single patient in the absence of typical endosporulating spherules. Immature spherules demonstrating segmentation mimicke...

Tuesday, October 2, 2012, 3:00 pm, 107 Annenberg Starting from a microscopic Hamiltonian on an infinite cylinder, In Ref. [Cincio and Vidal, "Characterizing topological order by studying the ground states of an infinite cylinder", arXiv:1208.2623v1], a method to obtain a tensor network representation for the different ground states of a topologically ordered system was proposed. In this talk, I...

We present the anyon equation on a cylinder and in an infinite potential wall from the abelian Chern-Simons theory coupled to non-relativistic matter field by obtaining the effective hamiltonian through the canonical transformation method used for the theory on a plane and on a torus. We also give the periodic property of the theory on the cylinder.
