We show here the existence of acoustic metamaterial, in which both the effective density and bulk modulus are simultaneously negative, in the true and strict sense of an effective medium. Our double-negative acoustic system is an acoustic analogue of Veselago's medium in electromagnetism, and shares many unique consequences, such as negative refractive index. The double negativity in acoustics ...

We study the kernel Kn,s(z) of the remainder term Rn,s( f ) of Gauss–Turán–Kronrod quadrature rules with respect to one of the generalized Chebyshev weight functions for analytic functions. The location on the elliptic contours where the modulus of the kernel attains its maximum value is investigated. This leads to effective L∞-error bounds of Gauss–Turán–Kronrod quadratures. Following Kronrod,...

Ultrasound elastography produces strain images of compliant tissues under quasi-static compression. When a material is compressed, there are several parameters that affect the stress-distribution and, hence, the strain distribution in the material. The state of bonding of an inclusion to the background material is a critical parameter. Heretofore, in the field of elastography, the inclusion was...

We present theory and experiments for the force-distance curve F(z(0)) of an atomic force microscope (AFM) tip (radius R) indenting a supported fluid bilayer (thickness 2d). For realistic conditions the force is dominated by the area compressibility modulus κ(A) of the bilayer and, to an excellent approximation, given by F=πκ(A)Rz(0)(2)/(2d-z(0))(2). The experimental AFM force curves from coexi...

BACKGROUND Two-dimensional (2D) echocardiography is one of the most feasible, noninvasive methods for assessing the aortic diameter and biomechanical changes. We studied possible interfaces between noninvasive biomechanical and speckle-tracking (ST) echocardiographic data from dilated aortas. METHODS Altogether, 44 patients with dilative pathology of ascending aorta (DPAA) were compared with ...

Thermal and mechanical properties of two-dimensional nanomaterials are commonly studied by calculating force constants using the density functional theory (DFT) classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Although DFT simulations offer accurate estimations, computational cost is high. On other hand, MD strongly depend on accuracy interatomic potentials. Here, we investigate thermal conductiv...

A new series of peptide-like derivatives containing different aromatic amino acids andpossessing pharmacophores of COX-2 inhibitors as SO2Me or N3 attached to the para positionof an end phenyl ring was synthesized for evaluation as selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2)inhibitors. The synthetic reactions were based on the solid phase peptide synthesis methodusing Wang resin. One of the analogues, i...
