The cone angles of carbon nanocones (CNCs) or carboncones are determined by the number pentagons (1–5) in tip. CNCs multi-walled conical structures produced traditional physical-chemical methods, while single-walled prepared emerging bottom-up organic approaches. advantage approaches is fabrication carbons with well-defined structures. synthesis reviewed Su-Yuan Xie and co-workers article 20010...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the surface hardness of a resin composite (TPH) polymerized with and without the use of a transparent light-curing cone. Twenty composite blocks were made on a Teflon mold with cylindrical holes of 3 mm depth and 6 mm radius, and were light cured following different procedures. Group 1: Ten samples were pressed with a glass slide and light cured for two...

Droplets spontaneously move when they are placed at the tip of a cone surface. Using three-dimensionally-printed structures, an experimental exploration large panel configurations regarding aperture angle finds evidence for change droplet geometry while moving along conical fiber---from barrel to clamshell shape. The position this geometrical transition is estimated and two models proposed desc...

The formation of a growth cone at the tip of a transected axon is a crucial step in the subsequent regeneration of the amputated axon. During this process, the transected axon is transformed from a static segment into a motile growth cone. Despite the importance of this process for regeneration of the severed axon, little is known about the mechanisms underlying this transformation. Recent stud...

We discuss the renormalization of gauge-invariant transverse-momentum dependent (TMD), i.e., unintegrated, parton distribution functions (PDFs) and carry out the calculation of their anomalous dimension at one loop. We show that in the light-cone gauge, TMD PDFs contain UV divergences that may be attributed to the renormalization effect on a cusp-like junction point of the gauge contours at inf...

Axon guidance by graded diffusible ligands plays an important role in the developing nervous system. Concentration gradients induce an asymmetric localisation of molecules in the axon tip, the growth cone, and the consequent internal polarised signalling pathway leads to rearrangement of the growth cone cytoskeleton and, ultimately, to motility. Here the authors provide a mathematical descripti...

This paper presents a scheme for strong self-focusing of laser beam interacting with cone-guided fast-ignition inertial confinement fusion target using cone pre-plasma filling as an optical medium reducing the waist. The objective is to reduce focal spot size at interior tip re-entrant that required efficient coupling dense imploded fuel core. challenging achieve in large system standard compon...

57 A methodology for interpreting instrumented sharp indentation with dual sharp indenters with different tip apex 58 angles is presented by recourse to computational modeling within the context of finite element analysis. The forward 59 problem predicts an indentation response from a given set of elasto-plastic properties, whereas the reverse analysis 60 seeks to extract elasto-plastic propert...

Cone penetration test is one of the most common in-situ tests for pile analysis given that by its analogy as a model pile, the measured cone resistance and sleeve friction can be employed for estimation of pile unit toe and shaft resistances, respectively. In this paper, group method of data handling (GMDH)-type neural networks optimized using Genetic algorithms (GAs) are used for modelling the...
