Electrochemical properties of various rock-shaped-CuO/graphite (G) composites and monoclinic structure CuO nanoparticles as the cathode versus a zinc plate as the anode in a 4M NaOH electrolyte were elucidated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and chronopotentiometry (CP) in a two electrode configuration cell. Various values of G 9, 16 and 28 wt% were prepared and studied as catho...

The energy absorbing capability is one of the most important aspects of crushing behavior of a structure subjected to axial impact. In this paper, a simple practical method is introduced to enhance the crushing behavior of this kind of structure. The axial impact of metallic energy absorbing thin-walled tubes with special shaped cross-section is simulated using LS-DYNA software. The effect of c...

A novel dielectric slot waveguide supporting strongly confined field in a T-shaped low-index slot region for both TE and TM polarizations is proposed and analyzed. Numerical simulations have demonstrated that quite different birefringent modal properties are achievable with tight optical confinement in the slot by tuning key geometrical parameters of the waveguide. Based on such a slot structur...

Structure and distribution of antennal sensilla were studied in males 19 species the caddisfly family Hydropsychidae by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Eleven types found: long trichoid, chaetoid, thick curved coronary, basiconic, styloconic four pseudoplacoid (mushroom-like, auricillic, ribbed, T-shaped). Thick ribbed pseudoplacoid, T-shaped found only Macronematinae. The great diver...

We study the T = 0 magnetization of the Hofstadter model. Near a rational flux the magnetization as a function of the chemical potential has the structure of a sequence of lines with quantized slopes, connected by lip-shaped regions. The lips admit a semiclassical description. This structure appears on all scales for irrational fluxes that are well approximated by rationals infinitely often.

Xuehui Guan et al. 953 A novel dual-mode bandpass filter (BPF) using a dual spiral-shaped defected ground waveguide (DGW) resonator is proposed in this letter. The dual-mode characteristic of this filter is achieved by loading a defected T-shaped stub at the midline of the spiral-shaped DGW resonator. Also, nonorthogonal input and output feed-lines are adopted in the filter. Based on the compac...

cobalt ferrite (cofe2o4) nanorods were synthesized by iron chloride (fecl3.6h2o) and cobalt sulfate hexahydrate (coso4.7h2o) as precursor in the presence of ethylene glycol agent and poly vinyl pyrrolidone (pvp) surfactant. the samples were characterized to identify the physical properties. xrd pattern of cobalt ferrite samples showed the structure of body center cubic (bcc) structure. the diam...
