Au-TiO2 snowman-like heterodimer nanoparticles were prepared by a surface sol-gel process based on gold Janus nanoparticles whose surface-protecting monolayers consisted of a hemisphere of hydrophobic 1-hexanethiolates and the other of hydrophilic 2-(2-mercaptoethoxy)ethanol. Transmission electron microscopic measurements showed that the resulting TiO2 nanoparticles (diameter 6 nm) exhibited we...

Background: Ambitious narratives are being produced in Albanian literature usually by young writers who making a name for themselves and honoured their works juries the media alike. However, ambition, drive behind thematic works, is equally challenge to rise to. Purpose: This article aims at analysing reasons failing fulfil literary as well clearly delineate contribution of such mission narrati...

This paper concerns the use of a simple head-and-torso model to correct deficiencies in the low-frequency behavior of experimentally measured head-related transfer functions (HRTFs). This so-called “snowman” model consists of a spherical head located above a spherical torso. In addition to providing improved lowfrequency response for music reproduction, the model provides the major low-frequenc...
