Abstract Electroanalytical and optical techniques are widely used in the development of nanomaterials-based sensor platforms. These have a quick response, high sensitivity, selectivity. nanomaterial-based sensors must be able to detect biomarkers, pathogens, toxins, pharmaceuticals biological matrices associated with cardiovascular disease, cancer, neurodegenerative diseases. Considering these ...

A common type of weak-value experiment prepares a single particle in one state, weakly measures the occupation number another and post-selects on finding third state (a 'click'). Most experiments have been done with photons, but heralded preparation photon is difficult slow rate. Here we show that weak value mentioned above can be measured using strong (many-photon) coherent states, while still...

Graph-based computational network analysis has proven a powerful tool to quantitatively characterize functional architectures of the brain. However, the test-retest (TRT) reliability of graph metrics of functional networks has not been systematically examined. Here, we investigated TRT reliability of topological metrics of functional brain networks derived from resting-state functional magnetic...

Introduction Thermoacoustic wave-generators are usually designed and optimized using software tools [1, 2] based on the linear thermoacoustic theory. These tools enable to predict the operating point of a thermoacoustic engine from the balance between the thermoacoustic amplification process and the numerous nonlinear effects saturating wave amplitude growth, the latter effects being very diffi...

thirteen environmental elements were distinguished in the livers of various species of fish thathave been sampled from 15 sites in a restricted area of the khorramabad river basin in lorestan province(west of iran). sites sampled represented agricultural, mining, mixed, and urban/recreation land uses andbackground conditions. lithium and silver were not detected at any of the sites. the minimum...

The effects of halogens; fluorine, chlorine and bromine, on the stability and multiplicity of phenylcarbenes / silylenes/ germylenes structures are compared and contrasted at B3LYP/6-311++G**//B3LYP/6-31+G* level. The singlet-triplet energy gaps, ΔES-T , values for all the above speciesincrease through fluorinated up, ΔES-Ts and ΔEHOMO–LUMOs support the stability of the singlet statesinspite of...

Tropospheric scintillation is caused by variations of refractive index due to turbulence. The only meteorological input parameter for two common current scintillation models by Karasawa et al. and by ITU-R is the monthly average of wet part of refractivity Nwet at ground level, which is not directly associated with turbulence. The diurnal correlation betweenNwet and scintillation variance is ve...
