background: one area of nanoscience deals with nanoscopic interactions between nanostructured materials and biological systems. to elucidate the effects of the substrate surface morphology and viscoelasticity on cell proliferation, fractal analysis was performed on endothelial cells cultured on nanocomposite samples based on silicone rubber (sr) and various concentrations of organomodified nano...

Being the conceptual models that capture domain knowledge, ontologies can be looked upon for aiding meaningful information retrieval. This paper is an effort to improve the relevancy of results in a search system for a domain by exploiting the domain knowledge captured in an OWL DL Ontology. We propose a system that fits the query terms in the ontology graph in an appropriate way and exploits t...

The hadronic tau decay channel offers by far the best signature for heavy charged Higgs boson search at the LHC in the large tanβ region. By exploiting the distinct polarization of the tau and its large transverse mass, along with the accompanying missing–pT , one can probe for a charged Higgs boson up to a mass of about 600 GeV in an essentially background-free environment. The transverse mass...

In this paper, we report on the impact of the structure of ligands on the luminescence enhancement of Eu(III) by directly exciting Eu(III) with visible light in aqueous media. Upon replacing the water molecules that coordinated around a Eu(3+) ion with a ditopic ligand 1,11-bis(2,6-dicarboxypyridin-4-yloxy)-3,6,9-trioxaundecane (L2EO4) or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt (EDTA), si...
