Thick electrophoretically deposited (EPD) films of ligand-capped colloidal nanocrystals (NCs) typically crack when removed from the deposition solvent due to the loss of residual solvent. We report the suppression of fracture in several micrometers thick EPD films of CdSe NCs by treating the wet, as-deposited films with solutions of polymer precursor monomers, followed by UV-initiated polymeriz...

This article proposes using of current EN standards and verification rules for environmental product declaration (EPDs) as a basis for evaluation of contractors’ design for infrastructural projects. The proposed conceptual framework for verification of credibility of climate impact assessment for infrastructural projects is based on the Swedishbased, the International EPD® System. Several Swedi...

Evolutionary Population Dynamics (EPD) refers to eliminating poor individuals in nature, which is the opposite of survival fittest. Although this method can improve median whole population meta-heuristic algorithms, it suffers from exploration capability handle high-dimensional problems. This paper proposes a novel EPD operator search process. In other words, as primary mainly improves fitness ...

The Eukaryotic Promoter Database (EPD) is an annotated non-redundant collection of eukaryotic POL II promoters, for which the transcription start site has been determined experimentally. Access to promoter sequences is provided by pointers to positions in nucleotide sequence entries. The annotation part of an entry includes description of the initiation site mapping data, cross-references to ot...

Milk yield from 273 Angus- and Hereford-sired cows and preweaning performance of their calves were used to determine how accurately milk EPD of Angus and Hereford sires predicted milk production of crossbred daughters and subsequent calf performance. Mean milk EPD (kg) for high Angus (HA), low Angus (LA), high Hereford (HH), and low Hereford (LH) bulls (n = 41) selected as sires were +8.7, -6.2...

Girls College of Education in Jeddah, Scientific Section, King Abdulaziz University, P. O. Box 32691, Jeddah 21438, Saudi Arabia hanaa−[email protected] Abstract In this paper, the exact form of the probability density function (pdf) and moments of single, double, triple and quadruple of lower record values from Exponentiated Pareto distribution (EPD) are derived. We establish several recurr...

Functionalization of colloidal particles based on the use of polyelectrolytes and heterocoagulation was combined with electrophoretic deposition (EPD), with the aim of depositing titania-polystyrene (TiO(2)-PS) composite particles on Ti6Al4V substrates. The composite particles were obtained by heterocoagulation of TiO(2) nanoparticles on the surface of monosized polystyrene beads of 4.6 microm ...

Six Angus bulls with HIGH ( > .4) and six bulls with LOW ( < -.16) expected progeny differences (EPD) for marbling were used to evaluate the impact of marbling on progeny production and carcass traits. Bulls were randomly bred to MARC II (1/4 Hereford, 1/4 Simmental, 1/4 Angus, 1/4 Gelbvieh) composite cows in each of 2 yr to calve in the spring. At weaning, steers and heifers were separated and...
