In this study, free vibration of functionally graded rectangular plates for various types of boundary conditions has been presented . The properties of the plate are assumed as power- law form along the thickness direction , while poisson's ratio is kept constant. the linear vibration equations of functionally graded rectangular plates are derived based on first order shear deformation theory b...

the application of conductive coatings on ferritic stainless steel can decrease electrical conductivity. theaim of this research was to investigate the electrical conductivity of cobalt coated aisi 430 ferritic stainlesssteel by pack cementation technique. coated coupons were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy(sem). electrical conductivity of the coated substrates was measured as a fun...

We report ultrafast response of femtosecond photoexcited carriers in single layer reduced graphene oxide flakes suspended in water as well as few layer thick film deposited on indium tin oxide coated glass plate using pump-probe differential transmission spectroscopy at 790 nm. The carrier relaxation dynamics has three components: ~200 fs, 1 to 2 ps, and ~ 25 ps, all of them independent of pump...

introduction: while human endothelial progenitor cells (epcs) have been a subject of somehow extensive investigation, epcs from adult mouse hematopoietic system were poorly studied. present investigation is focused on fvb mouse endothelial progenitor cells in terms of their isolation, purification, and expansion. materials and methods: mononuclear cells collected from murine peripheral blood we...

Rational design of the micro-nanomorphology is highly desired for metal hydroxides to achieve overall high-performance electrodes supercapacitor and energy storage applications. Here, in current study, we have succeeded controlling morphology Sn/Co nanolayered structures obtain plate nanofibrous morphologies. Additionally, nanostructures could be transformed plate-nanofibrous In this trend, dua...

A square splittered and unsplittered rod is placed in a turbulent boundary layer developed over a flat plate. The effect of the resulting disturbances on the local heat transfer coefficient is then studied. In both cases the square rod modifies the flow structure inside the boundary layer. As a result, a stagnation point, a jet and wake area are generated around the square rod, each making a co...

We perform large-scale Monte Carlo simulations of orientational ordering in nematic shells and study the type and position of topological defects when an external electric field (homogeneous or quadrupolar) is applied. The field-induced variation of the defect number (and strength) can be used to change the valence of colloidal particles coated with a nematic layer.

ZnO nanorods array films were coated on a glass template through a two-step chemical process. First, a sol-gel spin coating method was used to produce a ZnO seed layer and after that, the ZnO nanorods arrays were grown on it through a low temperature aqueous method. Synthesized films were studied by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffractometer (XRD). X-ray diffraction results sho...
