Abstract Ultraviolet (UV) electro-optic modulation system based on graphene-plasmonic metamaterials nanomechanical (NEMS) with superlubricity is investigated. Due to the strong optical absorption intensity of graphene in UV region and combination metamaterial structure surface plasmons, depth NEMS modulator approaches as high 8.5 times compared counterpart visible light region. Meanwhile, signi...

Based on seven case studies of buildings that underwent different degrees of moisture and mold damage remediation, we aimed to develop methodology for assessment of the success of the remediation process. Methods used in gauging the success included technical monitoring of performance of building structures and heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, microbial monitoring of in...

objective: to evaluate the current scientific evidence for the applicability, safety and effectiveness of pathways of enhanced recovery after emergency surgery (eras). methods: we undertook a search using pubmed and cochrane databases for eras protocols in emergency cases. the search generated 65 titles; after eliminating the papers not meeting search criteria, we selected 4 cohort studies and ...

The acceleration of urbanization and rapid development of economy led to making surface water pollution problem becoming more critical. Water treatment technologies can be generally classified as insitu or ex-situ. In this paper, a comprehensive review describing the latest surface water remediation developments and technologies that can be suitable for in-situ applications. The review covers t...

The disastrous consequences for society—economically, environmentally, and socially—caused by oil spills encouraged us to treat this problem. target of work is synthesize new amphiphilic dicationic ionic liquids (Ia, Ib, Ic) evaluate them spectroscopically gravimetrically as potential spill dispersants at different temperatures cover cold warm areas. synthesized ILs were well characterized tool...

Plasma remediation is being investigated for the removal of oxides of nitrogen (NxOy) from atmospheric pressure gas streams. In previous works we have investigated the plasma remediation of NxOy from N2 /O2 /H2O mixtures using repetitively pulsed dielectric barrier discharges. As combustion effluents contain large percentages of CO2, in this paper we discuss the consequences of CO2 in the gas m...
