purpose : to present conductive keratoplasty (ck) as a new procedure to correct residual hyperopia and astigmatism after phacoemulsification surgery and to evaluate its predictability, safety and stability methods : fifteen eyes of 13 patients with preoperative hyperopia +0.75 to +3.00 d and or astigmatism -0.75 to -3.00 d were enrolled into the study and underwent ck treatment. at the 1st and ...

The future trend in wearable computing is to integrate electronics directly into textiles. Our approach is to use conductive textiles for signal transmission. We investigated the electrical performance of textile transmission lines. We present methods for measuring as well as for modeling the high frequency properties of textiles. With the results it is possible to predict the electrical proper...

We investigate the use of nanopatterned metallic films as transparent conductive electrodes in optoelectronic devices. We find that the physics of nanopatterned electrodes, which are often optically thin metallic films, differs from that of optically thick metallic films. We analyze the optical properties when performing a geometrical transformation that maintains the electrical properties. For...

The one-electron properties of a certain class of one-dimensional ternary quasicrystals are investigated. In particular, we show in detail the presence of a special kind of critical states called marginal critical states in these QCs. By the use of a real-space renormalization-group method, it is shown that the scaling properties of marginal critical states are characterized by stretched expone...

Pressure-induced polymerization of charged triple-bond monomers like acetylide and cyanide could lead to formation of a conductive metal-carbon network composite, thus providing a new route to synthesize inorganic/organic conductors with tunable composition and properties. The industry application of this promising synthetic method is mainly limited by the reaction pressure needed, which is oft...

The snow surface temperature is an important quantity in the snow energy balance, since it modulates the exchange of energy between the surface and the atmosphere as well as the conduction of energy into the snowpack. It is therefore important to correctly model snow surface temperatures in energy balance snowmelt models. This paper focuses on the relationship between snow surface temperature a...

Conductive concrete with nanographite–cupric nickel sulfate ore was prepared in this paper. As a new type of multifunctional multiphase conductive building material conductive, electrothermal, electromagnetic shielding, piezoresistive properties, etc., will have wide range applications snow melting, cathodic protection and structural health monitoring, other fields. In paper, different dosage n...

cofe2o4 magnetic nano particles (mnps) were synthesized by an efficient method in aqueous medium with the particle sizes of about 20-50 nm. then, a hybrid nanocomposite of polyaniline (pani)-cofe2o4 mnps has been electrodeposited directly on a stainless steel wire by the potentiostatic method. microscopic images of electrodeposited pani and pani-cofe2o4 nanocomposite coatings were obtained by s...

Another possible modification, which has been predicted theoretically, is the addition of hydrogen atoms to graphene — creating 'graphane' — altering the sp2 carbon atoms to sp3 and thus changing the structure and electronic properties. Now Andre Geim from the University of Manchester and co-workers from Russia and the Netherlands have hydrogenated mechanically exfoliated graphene by exposing i...
