Plasmonic pressure in profile-modulated and rough surfaces

A calcium-modulated plasmonic switch.

A plasmonic switch based on the calcium-induced conformational changes of calmodulin is shown to exhibit reversible wavelength modulations in response to changing calcium concentration. The extinction maximum (lambdamax) of a localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) sensor functionalized with a novel calmodulin construct, cutinase-calmodulin-cutinase (CutCaMCut), reversibly shifts by 2-3 nm. ...

Modeling Rough Surfaces

Avalanches at rough surfaces.

We describe the surface properties of a simple lattice model of a sandpile that includes evolving structural disorder. We present a dynamical scaling hypothesis for generic sandpile automata and, additionally, explore the kinetic roughening of the sandpile surface, indicating its relationship with the sandpile evolution. Finally, we comment on the surprisingly good agreement found between this ...

Experimental Study for Addition Rough Surfaces on a Vehicle Floor Body and Comparison of Aerodynamics Coefficient

پس از اختراع خودرو، بشر بزودی به رابطه میان مقاومت هوا و حرکت اتومبیل پی برد. به مرور زمان با بهبود عملکرد خودروها از جهات مختلف و بالارفتن قیمت سوخت، بهبود آیرودینامیکی نیز به مسأله‌ای اساسی تبدیل شد. پژوهشگران دریافتند که توجه به آیرودینامیک نه تنها برای دستیابی به سرعت‌های بالاتر، بلکه به منظور کاهش مصرف سوخت و ایجاد پایداری مناسب در خودرو، امری ضروری است. به همین دلیل تاکنون تحقیقات زیادی د...

investigation of dynamic pressure of vertical and circular free water jets on rough surfaces with variable angles

the security and stability of dams for flood passing through the spillway should be provided. so, kinetic energy of flow over large spillway must be dissipated. one of the energy dissipation structures at downstream dams, are plunging pools. the aim of this paper is to investigate dynamic pressure that is created by the impact of a series of rounded non-submerged jets on a flat plate with the r...
