Linking experiment and theory for three-dimensional networked binary metal nanoparticle–triblock terpolymer superstructures

Three-dimensional core-shell superstructures: mechanically strong aerogels.

Nanocasting conformal polymer coatings on preformed three-dimensional assemblies of nanoparticles, macroscopically classified as aerogels, reinforces the interparticle necks and increases the strength of the bulk material dramatically. For example, specific compressive strengths are reported to be higher than those for mild steel and aluminum, while the ability to store energy may surpass that ...

Competency-Based Curriculum: Linking Theory and Practice

Background and objective: Most higher education curricula do not provide the competencies graduates need in the occupational fields, resulting in waste of money and lower effectiveness while increasing the number of unemployed graduates. Competency-based education is an innovative educational model that can solve such problems and lead education activists to design competency-based curricula. T...

Efficient Three-Dimensional Wavelet Codecs for Networked Video Communications

Based on our previously developed signi cance-linked connected component analysis (SLCCA) data organization and representation strategy, two three-dimensional wavelet video coding techniques are proposed covering a wide range of applications areas. In three-dimensional SLCCA (3D-SLCCA), both the wavelet decomposition and SLCCA data organization and representation strategy are extended to 3-D ca...

ON MAXWELL'S STRESS FUNCTIONS FOR SOLVING THREE DIMENSIONAL ELASTICITY PROBLEMS IN THE THEORY OF ELASTICITY

The governing equations of three dimensional elasticity problems include the six Beltrami-Michell stress compatibility equations, the three differential equations of equilibrium, and the six material constitutive relations; and these are usually solved subject to the boundary conditions. The system of fifteen differential equations is usually difficult to solve, and simplified methods are usual...
