this paper investigates axial compression process of multi-layered tubes with circular cross-section under the axial loading in the quasi-static condition using experimental method. some specimens are prepared in seven different groups, namely; empty carbon/epoxy composite tubes, solid carbon/epoxy composite rods, empty copper tubes, composite tubes with silicon sealant filler, concentrically s...

In this investigation, the influence of doping graphene with silicon in the adsorption of alanine amino acid was inspected computationally. For this purpose, the structures of pure graphene, silicon doped graphene, alanine and 10 derived products of the alanine reaction with pure and silicon doped nano-adsorbents were optimized geometrically. Afterwards, the values of adsorption energy, formati...

abstract silicon (si) is considered one of the beneficial elements for plant, however recent studies show that si plays an important role in plant resistance to environmental stresses , like salinity. an experiment was conducted to study the effect of si and nacl salinity on the growth, yield and fruit quality of strawberry (fragaria × ananassa duch) cv “selva” was grown hydroponically in the c...

objective: silicon is an effective element in bone biomineralization; hence si-substituted hydroxyapatite can be a relevant bioceramic as bone materials substitution. materials and methods: stoichiometric hydroxyapatite (ha) and si-substituted hydroxyapatite (si-ha) with different contents of si substitution were synthesized successfully by a hydrothermal method using ca(no3)2, (nh4)3po4 or (n...

Abstract To protect a canvas easel painting, common conservation strategy is to add back plate at the stretcher, creating closed air void. This protects not only from dust but mainly temperature and relative humidity ( RH ) variations in room moisture changes wall on which it hanging. The addition of hygroscopic layers can reduce amplitude change phase oscillations. paper proposes new mathemati...

In this work, a novel Silicon on Insulator (SOI) MOSFET is proposed and investigated. The drain and source electrode structures are optimized to enhance ON-current while global device temperature and hot carrier injection are decreased. In addition, to create an effective heat passage from channel to outside of the device, a silicon region has embedded in the buried oxide. In order to reduce th...

Solar energy is renewable with infinite amounts and low emissions. The work of the solar panel affected by increase in its working temperatures. In this study, 50 Wp polycrystalline without soybean wax placed on backplate panels using PCM container as a passive cooling system were simulated simulator variations light intensity 400 W/m2, 600 900 1000 1100 W/m2. blower was ambient wind surroundin...

porous silicon layers have been prepared from n-type silicon wafers of (100) orientation. sem, ftir and pl have been used to characterize the morphological and optical properties of porous silicon. the influence of varying etching time in the anodizing solution, on structural and optical properties of porous silicon has been investigated. it is observed that pore size increases with etching tim...
