higher solid contents (20 % and 40 %) nanocomposites of poly (styrene-co-butyl acrylate) including higher content of cloisite 30b (7 wt% and 10 wt %) were prepared via miniemulsion polymerization. stability of the final latexes proved outstanding combination of polymerization procedure and surfactants. morphological studies revealed by tem, sax and xrd showed three structures of core-shell, arm...

Abstract Taking the future add-on armor of light armored platforms as application background and research object, in view combat vehicles’ weak survivability low protection capability against RPGs armor-piercing projectiles urban warfare, based on mechanisms traditional reactive ceramic composite armor, a new type explosive consisting shell, an structural unit lightweight has been successfully ...

This paper aims at presenting the real and complete structure of the Symbian S60 v3 (third edition) platform file system, which is considered one of the most secure and armored systems issued by Symbian Ltd. in the last two years. By analyzing the unique features of security, which have been applied at the file system level, it will become clear how to develop applications for digital forensic ...

It has been established by now that the problem of the absolute stability originates from a paper of B.V. Bulgakov published in 1942. The engineering application generating the problem was the so called gyroscopic pendulum, with various applications in stabilization of ships, aircrafts or armored cars. Even if nowadays the technical implementation of this device might be completely different, t...

An impulse-based single-borehole radar prototype has been developed for well logging. The borehole radar is comprised of subsurface sonde and surface equipment. An armored 7-conductor well logging cable is used to connect subsurface sonde and surface equipment which is well compatible with the other well logging instruments. The performance experiments of the prototype have been conducted in a ...

Background Whilst delivering impressive clinical efficacy in certain hematological malignancies, Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T cell therapy has yet to deliver significant impact across a broader array of cancer indications. Armoring CAR through the co-expression immune modifying cytokines is an approach that may aid anti-cancer activity but currently at embryonic stage development. In this ...

Large scale biomimetic single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) coatings with significant antimicrobial activity, high Young's Modulus, and controlled morphology were fabricated using layer-by-layer assembly. Thickness was controlled within 1.6 nm and SWNT orientation was controlled using a directed air stream. This unique blend of multifunctionality and vertical and lateral control of a bottom-up ...

A new genus and five new species belonging to the family Tetrablemmidae are described from caves in Southwest China, i.e., Sinammaoxycera gen. & sp. n., Singaporemma banxiaoensis sp. n., Singaporemma wulongensis sp. n., Tetrablemma ziyaoensis sp. n. andTetrablemma menglaensis sp. n. The following new combination is proposed: Sinamma sanya (Lin & Li, 2010), comb. n. ex. Shearella Lehtinen, 1981....

This paper considers the use of aluminum alloy parts for combined mine protection armored combat vehicles. The study was concerned with anti-mine shields mounted on an vehicle body model. model made 16 mm armor steel. total mass (without shield) 31.1 kg. An shield gripped between two frames and secured bolts. To eliminate effect soil test results, explosive charges were installed a 70 metal pla...
