The Raman D-band feature ( 1350 cm ) is examined with 2.54 eV excitation for pure bulk carbon single-wall nanotube samples before and after treatments that increase defect densities. Upon employing mass-transport-limited oxidation to introduce defects, the D-band intensity increases approximately linearly with reaction time. A relatively constant ratio of the D-band intensity and the major tang...

The optical Einstein ring 0047−2808 was imaged by the VLT UT1 during the science verification programme. The ring is the image of a high–redshift z = 3.595 star–forming galaxy, with strong Lyα emission at 5589Å, gravitationally lensed by a massive early–type galaxy at z = 0.485. Relative to earlier NTT data the high signal– to–noise ratio of the VLT Lyα narrow–band image allows much improved co...

Threshold selection is a critical step in using binary change detection methods. The threshold determines the accuracy of change detection results but is highly subjective and scene-dependent, depending on the familiarity with the study area and the analyst’s skill. Nearest neighbor classification is a nonparametric classifier, which was applied to remove the threshold. In order to find the mos...

The rotation curves of a sample of 46 low- and high-surface brightness galaxies are considered in the context of Milgrom's modi_ed dynamics (MOND) to test a new interpolating function proposed by Zhao et al. (2010) [1] and compare with the results of simple interpolating function. The predicted rotation curves are calculated from the total baryonic matter based on the B-band surface photometry,...

La3+ and Sm3+ - doped Bi2Mn2O7 nanocatalysts were synthesized in 1 M NaOH aqueous solution, via a stoichiometric 1:1 Bi:Mn molar ratio hydrothermal method at 180 °C for 48 h. Bi(NO3)3, MnO2, La(NO3)3 and Sm2O3 were used as raw materials. The synthesized nanomaterials were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) technique. Both of the La3+ and Sm3+ - doped Bi2Mn2O7 nanomaterials were cr...

in this paper, a photonic crystal waveguide with point defects and lattice constant perturbations of +5%, -5% are being investigated. firstly waveguide structures with constant and specific parameters are being studied and photonic band gap diagrams for te/tm modes are depicted; then pulse propagation in the frequencies available in the band gap are shown. after that, effects of parameters like...

This study aimed to investigate the effect of double oscillation exercise combined with elastic band exercise on the strength and thickness ratio of the scapular stabilizing muscles in healthy young individuals. A total of 30 subjects (17 male, 13 female) were randomly assigned to an elastic band exercise group (EBG) (n = 15) or an elastic band plus double oscillation exercise group (EB-DOG) (n...

This paper presents an element of a 2×2-element array antenna for Inmarsat BGAN/GPS applications. The element is an axial mode printed quadrifilar helical antenna that has been integrated with a compact feed network to provide sequential phase rotation for circular polarization (CP) radiation. The novel integrated lumped-element feed network is designed to provide a balanced RF power to the fou...

For analyzing of compositions molecular orbitals in this article in order to combination only- xylometazolin-C7 X2 (XY) and C60– xylometozolin-C65-X2 (FXY), first got energies of highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) by using NBO analyze in Gaussian 03 software. Then, occupancy parameter, g...

A method to design a miniaturized two-element quasi-Yagi antenna (QYA) with size and gain requirements is presented for portable ultra high frequency (UHF) radio frequency identification (RFID) reader applications. The antenna consists of a driver dipole and a ground reflector, and these elements are serially connected with a coplanar strip line. The ends of both elements are folded back toward...
