A collimator is often used to clean a beam of its excessive tail particles. If the beam intensity is high enough or if the beam is brought too close to the collimator, however, the wakefields generated by the beam-collimator interaction can cause additional beam tails to grow, thus defeating, or even worsening, the beam-tail cleaning process. The wakefield generated by a sheet beam moving past ...

in this paper, eringen’s nonlocal elasticity and timoshenko beam theories are implemented to analyze the bending vibration for non-uniform nano-beams.  the governing equations and the boundary conditions are derived using hamilton’s principle. a generalized differential quadrature method (gdqm) is utilized for solving the governing equations of non-uniform timoshenko nano-beam for pinned-pinned...

We present a systematic study of Au charge state distributions (CSDs) from low density, nonlocal thermodynamic equilibrium plasmas created in the Livermore electron beam ion traps (EBIT-I and EBIT-II). X-ray emission from Ni-like to Kr-like Au ions has been recorded from monoenergetic electron beam plasmas having E(beam)=2.66, 2.92, 3.53, and 4.54 keV, and the CSDs of the beam plasmas have been...

Background: Cancer stem-like cells (CSCs) play a crucial role in the initiation, progression, and recurrence of cancer. Evidence indicates that the high linear energy transfer (LET) carbon ion beam is more effective against CSCs than the conventional X-ray beam. Carbon ion radiotherapy is considered as a promising cancer strategy, however, information about whether, or not, new CSCs are induced...

block ciphers have wide applications for hardware and software implementations. in this paper, a new block cipher algorithm with provable security is proposed. the whole structure of the algorithm is novel and has a good encryption and decryption performance. additionally, it has good security with few number of rounds. the structure of the proposed algorithm consists of 4-rounds feistel-like w...

The main objective of this study is to reduce optimal vibration suppression of Timoshenko beam under non-periodic step and impulse inputs. Cantilever beam was modeled by Timoshenko theory and finite element numerical method. Stiffness (K), mass (M), and damping (C) matrices are extracted. Then, in order to control structure vibration, piezoelectric patches were used due to simultaneous dual beh...

This paper analyzes the effects of structures and loads on the static bending and free vibration problems of bilayer beams. Based on static mechanical equilibrium and energy equilibrium, the static and dynamic governing equations of bilayer beam are established. It is found that the value of the thickness ratio has a significant effect on the static and dynamic responses of the beam, and the st...
