Much has been said about the importance of “job creators,” mainly small and medium-sized businesses, as engines of economic growth. Far less has been said about the thinking styles of the entrepreneurs who start and run these businesses, and about whether those styles actually help to grow jobs. Who are more successful: the intuitive, go-with-the-gut types or the coolheaded analysts who don’t m...

piezoelectric nanobeams having circular, rectangular and hexagonal cross-sections are synthesized and used in various nano structures; however, piezoelectric nanobeams with hexagonal cross-sections have not been studied in detail. in particular, the physical mechanisms of the surface effect and the role of surface stress, surface elasticity and surface piezoelectricity have not been discussed t...

In this paper we introduce hexagonal Wang tiles, local hexagonal picture languages, and recognizable hexagonal picture languages. We use hexagonal Wang tiles to introduce hexagonal Wang systems(HWS), a formalism to recognize hexagonal picture languages. It is noticed that the family of hexagonal picture languages defined by hexagonal Wang systems coincides with the family of hexagonal picture l...

the padmakar-ivan (pi) index is a wiener-szeged-like topological index which reflectscertain structural features of organic molecules. the pi index of a graph g is the sum of alledges uv of g of the number of edges which are not equidistant from the vertices u and v. inthis paper we obtain the second and third extremals of catacondensed hexagonal systems withrespect to the pi index.

Abstract This paper introduces a small-sized, low profile, planar and flexible ultra-wide band (UWB) antenna using Jeans, textile material as the substrate. A novel shape of hexagonal slot in rectangular step patch with partial ground plane is developed bandwidth 12 GHz proposed. It primary approach natural substrate for UWB which operated wide range bandwidth. The designed short applications i...

Hexagonal Fe(3)Sn has many of the desirable properties for a new permanent magnet phase with a Curie temperature of 725 K, a saturation moment of 1.18 MA/m. and anisotropy energy, K1 of 1.8 MJ/m(3). However, contrary to earlier experimental reports, we found both experimentally and theoretically that the easy magnetic axis lies in the hexagonal plane, which is undesirable for a permanent magnet...

Giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs), are a convenient tool to study membrane-bound processes using optical microscopy. An increasing number of studies highlights the potential of these model membranes when addressing questions in membrane biophysics and cell-biology. Among them, phase transitions and domain formation, dynamics and stability in raft-like mixtures are probably some of the most inte...
