Graphene nanostructures were synthesized by Hummer method. 1, 3, 5 and 7 wt% of graphene nanostructures were suspended in certain amount of acetone on a mechanical stirrer and stirred then added to epoxy resin. After 4 hours, solution and Graphene platelets (GPs) were prepared. Nanostructures were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM ), Fourier transform i...

We present a lattice model of water confined in a hydrophobic nanotube. Using analytical methods and computer simulation, we find conditions where filled and empty tubes can be degenerate in equilibrium. We further find that flow of water molecules through a filled tube with appropriate but simple stochastic rules can be interpreted as water conduction in a pulse-like fashion. These two results...

This paper presents an abstraction layer for short vector SIMD ISA extensions like Intel’s SSE, AMD’s 3DNow!, Motorola’s AltiVec, and IBM’s Double Hummer. It provides unified access to short vector instructions via intermediate level building blocks. These primitives are C macros that allow, for instance, portable and highly efficient implementations of discrete linear transforms like FFTs and ...

This paper discusses a novel dynamic resonant wall shear stress sensor concept based on an oscillating sensor operating near resonance. The interaction between the oscillating sensor surface and the fluid above it is modelled using the unsteady laminar boundary layer equations. The numerical experiment shows that the effect of the oscillating shear stress is well correlated by the Hummer number...

The Internet is quickly becoming entrenched in the communication and commercial sectors of everyday life. With this movement away from traditional fixed infrastructure we are also moving away from the traditional securities placed within fixed infrastructure. This has led to increasing numbers of attacks designed to infiltrate or disrupt the activities being performed by companies and individua...
