Chemical functionalization of nanocarbons is essential for further applications in various fields. We developed a facile, inexpensive, and gram-scale one-pot route towards alkynyl-functionalized nanocarbons. Nucleophilic addition/propargylic capture places alkyne moieties at the surface of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene. Thermogravimetric analysis coupled with mass spectrometry and Raman ...

INTRODUCTION Delayed gastric emptying (DGE) is a relatively common complication after cephalic pancreaticoduodenectomy (CPD). Its origin is not very clear, and it is believed that its appearance is due to multiple factors (hormones, appearance of other complications, particularly pancreatic fistulas, and the surgical technique). Among the technical aspects associated with DGE, it has been propo...

We consider a combined traffic equilibrium model for mode and route choice with elastic demand, stated as an optimization problem. We state a problem for finding sensitivity information on changes in link flows and travel demands with respect to changes in certain design parameters in the model. In the presentation, we state the sensitivity analysis problem, and propose a solution algorithm sui...

ad hoc mobile networks have dynamic topology with no central management. because of the high mobility of nodes, the network topology may change constantly, so creating a routing with high reliability is one of the major challenges of these networks .in the proposed framework first, by finding directions to the destination and calculating the value of the rout the combination of this value with ...

Most existing reinforcement learning methods require exhaustive state space exploration before converging towards a problem solution. Various generalization techniques have been used to reduce the need for exhaustive exploration, but for problems like maze route finding these techniques are not easily applicable. This paper presents an approach that makes it possible to reduce the need for stat...

A reliable routing control plane in Internal Border Gateway Protocol (IBGP) is very important for achieving dependable Internet data communication. However, the reliability modeling of IBGP and the design of reliable IBGP route reflection networks, which are of great importance to increase the robustness of IBGP operations, have not been well investigated. The reliability analysis of IBGP netwo...

This project explores visualizations for route maps that are displayed on a smartphone. Route finding and following is a multitasking situation that would benefit from better readability of the map, as it would decrease the cognitive effort required for the user to synthesize the information they need to follow the route. This can be done through various information visualization techniques, su...
