Calcination of lysozyme-silica hybrid hollow particles gives novel cage-like hollow spherical silicas with differently patterned through-holes on their shell structure.

The TIEL benchmarks include a set of analytical benchmark solutions to the transport equation in infinite media. In this paper, we present solutions for the infinite planar, point, spherical shell, and solid spherical sources solved using the PENTRAN 3-D Parallel SN code compared to reference solutions of the TIEL benchmark problems. Excellent agreement (less than 0.7% difference) was achieved ...

A two-layer spherical alpha2 dynamo model consisting of an inner electrically conducting core (magnetic diffusivity lambdai and radius ri) with alpha=0 surrounded by an electrically conducting spherical shell (magnetic diffusivity lambdao and radius ro) with a constant alpha is shown to exhibit oscillatory behavior for values of beta=lambdai&solm0;lambdao and ri&solm0;ro relevant to the solar d...

Observations of novae at radio frequencies provide us with a measure of the total ejected mass, density profile, and kinetic energy of a nova eruption. The radio emission is typically well characterized by the free–free emission process. Most models to date have assumed spherical symmetry for the eruption, although for as long as there have been radio observations of these systems, it has been ...

A Thomas-Fermi model of a spherical shell of positive charge is investigated, under various boundary conditions. The electron distribution and the ionization charge are given particular attention.

Motion of two gravitating spherical stellar shells around a massive central body is considered. Each shell consists of point particles with the same specific angular momenta and energies. In the case when one can neglect the influence of gravitation of one ("light") shell onto another ("heavy") shell ("restricted problem") the structure of the phase space is described. The scaling laws for the ...

Dual-emitting photonic nano-objects that can sense changes in the environmental pH are designed based on shell-crosslinked micelles assembled from amphiphilic block copolymers and crosslinked with pH-insensitive chromophores. The chromophoric crosslinkers are tetra-functionalized pyrazine molecules that bear a set of terminal aliphatic amine groups and a set of anilino amine groups, which demon...

The thermomechanical buckling of simply supported thin shallow spherical shells made of functionally graded material is presented in this paper. A metal-ceramic functionally graded shell with a power law distribution for volume fraction is considered, where its properties vary gradually through the shell thickness direction from pure metal on the inner surface to pure ceramic on the outer surfa...
