the paper is devoted to the study of brenstien polynomials and development of some new operational matrices of fractional order integrations and derivatives. the operational matrices are used to convert fractional order differential equations to systems of algebraic equations. a simple scheme yielding accurate approximate solutions of the couple systems for fractional differential equations is ...

‎this paper presents two main results that the singular values of the hadamard product of normal matrices $a_i$ are weakly log-majorized by the singular values of the hadamard product of $|a_{i}|$ and the singular values of the sum of normal matrices $a_i$ are weakly log-majorized by the singular values of the sum of $|a_{i}|$‎. ‎some applications to these inequalities are also given‎. ‎in addi...

an involution or anti-involution is a self-inverse linear mapping. in this paper, we will present two real quaternion matrices, one corresponding to a real quaternion involution and one corresponding to a real quaternion anti-involution. moreover, properties and geometrical meanings of these matrices will be given as reflections in r^3.

We investigate the solid phases of the restricted primitive model (RPM). Monte Carlo simulations show the existence of an order-disorder transition from a substitutionally disordered face centered cubic lattice (fcc) to a new ordered fcc structure which is proposed as the ground state of the RPM at the close packing density. Our results suggest that the new phase might turn out in a new triple ...

In this study, the spin coating of template-assisted method is used to synthesize poly[2,7-(9,9-dioctylfluorene)-alt-4,7-bis(thiophen-2-yl)benzo-2,1,3-thiadiazole] (PFO-DBT) nanorod bundles. The morphological, structural, and optical properties of PFO-DBT nanorod bundles are enhanced by varying the spin coating rate (100, 500, and 1,000 rpm) of the common spin coater. The denser morphological d...

We have demonstrated the efficacy of a microfluidic medium exchange method for single cells using passive centrifugal force of a rotating microfluidic-chip based platform. At the boundary of two laminar flows at the gathering area of two microfluidic pathways in a Y-shape, the cells were successfully transported from one laminar flow to the other, without mixing the two microfluidic mediums of ...

objective: the organotypic co-culture is a well-known technique to examine cellular interactions and their roles in stem cell proliferation and differentiation. this study aims to evaluate the effects of dermal fibroblasts (dfs) on epidermal differentiation of adipose-derived stem cells (ascs) using a three-dimensional (3d) organotypic coculture technique. materials and methods: in this experim...
