Pseudosasa amabilis (McClure) (Poales: Gramineae) is a typical bamboo species naturally distributed in large area of south China and famous for its culm strength. Although bamboos were found to share the same development rule, the detailed internode morphology of bamboo culm was actually not fully expressed. We explored internode morphology of P. amabilis using 11 different physical parameters ...

We study simplices with integer vertices and no other integer points. Such`hollow' simplices come up in the theory of integer programming, and provide a common formulation of some combinatorial problems, including particular cases of the knapsack or the partition problem. They have been investigated in various contexts and under varying terminology Can thèhollowness' of simplices bèwell-charact...

A novel two-dimensional (2D) separation system for proteins was reported. In the system, a piece of dialysis hollow-fiber membrane was employed as the interface for on-line combination of capillary isoelectric focusing (CIEF) and capillary non-gel sieving electrophoresis (CNGSE). The system is similar equivalent to two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2D PAGE), by transferring th...

Heterogeneous catalysis is vital for a number of chemical, refinery and pollution control processes. The use of catalyst pellets of hollow cylindrical shape provide several distinct advantages over other common shapes, and can therefore help to enhance conversion levels in reactors. A better utilization of the catalytic material is probably most notable of these features due to the absence of t...

Sulfur has a high specific capacity of 1673 mAh/g as lithium battery cathodes, but its rapid capacity fading due to polysulfides dissolution presents a significant challenge for practical applications. Here we report a hollow carbon nanofiber-encapsulated sulfur cathode for effective trapping of polysulfides and demonstrate experimentally high specific capacity and excellent electrochemical cyc...

ABSTRACT We present our results on efficient coupling of Quantum Cascade Lasers (QCLs) into Whispering Gallery Resonators, Hollow Waveguide. We also present results of micro sensors using the unique properties of QCLs, e.g. online sensors for Gas Chromatography (GC). We show that because of the unique brightness properties of QCLs, we could improve GC-Infrared sensors' sensitivity to the same l...

We investigate compression of ultrashort laser pulses by nonlinear propagation in gas-filled planar hollow waveguides, using (3+1)- dimensional numerical simulations. In this geometry, the laser beam is guided with a fixed size in one transverse dimension, generating significant spectral broadening, while it propagates freely in the other, allowing for energy up-scalability. In this respect the...

This paper presents methods for the formation of hollow microcapsules and microlenses using multiphase microdroplets. Microdroplets, which consist of a gas core and an organic phase shell, were generated at a single junction on a silicon device without surface treatment of the fluidic channels. Droplet, core and shell dimensions were controlled by varying the flow rates of each phase. When the ...

A Longitudinal opening is used to construct hollow core beam a cast in site or precast pre stressed concrete member with continuous voids provided reduce weight, cost and, as side benefit, use for concealed electrical mechanical runs. Primarily floor beams roof deck systems. This study investigate the behavior of six (solid opening) dimension (length 1000 x height 180 width120mm) simply support...
