A form of cystic lung, characterized by numerous, widespread and usually small cavities, is a wellrecognized though apparently uncommon condition, which, according to earlier accounts, occurred especially in children (Sharkey, 1894; Tooth, 1897; Fletcher, 1901; Bernstein, 1905). Such lungs were described by Fowler and Godlee (1898) as having a worm-eaten or honeycomb appearance. Sharkey and Fle...

Analytical electron microscopY techniques were used to determine the Ni content and structure of kamacite and decomposed taenile (clear taenite I (tetrataenite). the cloudy zone. and clear taenite 2) in the metallic phases of meteorites. Clear taenite 1 contains 51.4—45.6 ± 1.3 wt% Ni and is ordered FeNi with three variants of the L l superstructure. The structure formed by an order/disorder tr...

Recently Beaton, de Gier and Guttmann proved a conjecture of Batchelor and Yung that the critical fugacity of self-avoiding walks interacting with (alternate) sites on the surface of the honeycomb lattice is 1 + √ 2. A key identity used in that proof depends on the existence of a parafermionic observable for self-avoiding walks interacting with a surface on the honeycomb lattice. Despite the ab...

Honeycomb core sandwich panels have found extensive applications particularly in the aerospace and naval industries. In view of the recent interest in alternative, yet strong and lightweight materials, honeycomb cores are manufactured from sisal fiber-reinforced polypropylene (PP) composites and the out-ofplane compressive behaviour of these cores is investigated. The cell wall material is mode...

A tubular composite structure that is built of two materials, characterized by different Young moduli, is analysed in this paper. The Young's modulus of one of these materials can be controlled by external conditions e.g., magnetic or electric field, temperature etc. The geometry of the reinforcement is based on typical auxetic re-entrant honeycomb cellular structure. The influence of this exte...

Abstract The thermal analysis is performed on a heated Inconel 617 honeycomb-core sandwich panel. Sandwich panel is supported at its four edges with spar-like sub-structures that acted as heat sinks, which are generally not considered in the classical analysis. One side of the panel is subjected to a heat flux on the surface. Two types of surface heating were considered: (1) hexagonal honeycomb...

We report the structures and physical properties of two new iridates, NaIrO3 and Sr3CaIr2O9, both of which contain continuous two-dimensional honeycomb connectivity. NaIrO3 is produced by room temperature oxidative deintercalation of sodium from Na2IrO3, and contains edge-sharing IrO6 octahedra that form a planar honeycomb lattice. Sr3CaIr2O9, produced via conventional solid-state synthesis, ho...

Herein, we report honeycomb nanostructured single crystalline hexagonal WO(3) (h-WO(3)) thin films in order to improve electrochromic performance. In the present investigation, honeycomb nanostructured WO(3) with different unit size and nanowire array with highly nanocrystalline frameworks have been synthesized via a hydrothermal technique. The influence of hydrothermal reaction time on the hon...

We investigate the spectrum and eigenstates of ultracold fermionic atoms in the bilayer honeycomb optical lattice. In the low energy approximation, the dispersion relation has parabolic form and the quasiparticles are chiral. In the presence of the effective magnetic field, which is created for the system with optical means, the energy spectrum shows an unconventional Landau level structure. Fu...

We consider the electronic structure near vacancies in the half-filled honeycomb lattice. It is shown that vacancies induce the formation of localized states. When particle-hole symmetry is broken, localized states become resonances close to the Fermi level. We also study the problem of a finite density of vacancies, obtaining the electronic density of states, and discussing the issue of electr...
