we report the enhanced capacitance of the multi-walled carbon nanotubes (mwcnts) after a chemical unzipping process in concentrated sulfuric acid (h2so4) and potassium permanganate (kmno4). the effects of the test duration and temperature were investigated on the unzipping process of the mwcnts to synthesize the graphene oxide nanoribbons. the sem and tem studies were carried out on untreated a...

We report the enhanced capacitance of the Multi-Walled Carbon NanoTubes (MWCNTs) after a chemical unzipping process in concentrated sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and potassium permanganate (KMnO4). The effects of the test duration and temperature were investigated on the unzipping process of the MWCNTs to synthesize the graphene oxide nanoribbons. The SEM and TEM studies were carried out on untreated a...

BACKGROUND Most published literature using SELDI-TOF has used traditional techniques in Spectral Analysis such as Fourier transforms and wavelets for denoising. Most of these publications also compare spectra using their most prominent feature, i.e, peaks or local maximums. METHODS The maximum intensity value within each window of differentiable m/z values was used to represent the intensity ...

In this paper, Parallel Simulated Annealing using Genetic Crossover (PSA/GAc) is applied to predict protein tertiary structures. The target protein is C-peptide that is consisted of 13 amino acids. The results are compared to those of the former studies. Then it is found that PSA/GAc is an effective method to predict protein tertiary structures.

Transition of freeze/thaw (F/T) affects land-atmospheric interactions and other biospheric dynamics. Global F/T statuses are normally monitored using microwave remote sensing, but at coarse resolutions (e.g., 25 km). Integration of coarse microwave remote sensing data with finer satellite products represents an opportunity to further enhance our ability to map F/T statuses regionally and global...
