The voltage-driven passage of biological polymers through nanoscale pores is an analytically, technologically, and biologically relevant process. Despite various studies on homopolymer translocation there are still several open questions on the fundamental aspects of pore transport. One of the most important unresolved issues revolves around the passage of biopolymers which vary in charge and v...

Bulk gangue is a common backfill material in solid mining. After backfilling into the goaf, bulk serves as main body to bear load of overlying strata, and its deformation resistance key factor affecting quality. In this study, laterally confined compression test broken was designed, compaction characteristics specimens under different loading rates were studied, acoustic emission (AE) energy an...

We present here results which indicate that polymeric monolayers confined at the air–water interface may provide interesting model systems for the study of glass transition phenomenology in a strongly confined 2D geometry. We report on photoinduced relaxation of the pressure–area isotherms in Langmuir monolayers of a photosensitive polyacrylate, using null-ellipsometry to study the evolution of...

We present an analysis of test application time for test data compression techniques that are used for reducing test data volume and testing time in system-on-a-chip (SOC) designs. These techniques are based on data compression codes and on-chip decompression. The compression/decompression scheme decreases test data volume and the amount of data that has to be transported from the tester to the...

Hydrodynamic interactions between particles confined in a liquid-filled linear channel are known to be screened beyond a distance comparable to the channel width. Using a simple analytical theory and lattice Boltzmann simulations, we show that the hydrodynamic screening is qualitatively modified when the time-dependent response and finite compressibility of the host liquid are taken into accoun...

This research investigates the behavior of square concrete columns externally wrapped by low-cost and easily available fiber rope reinforced polymer (FRRP) composites. study mainly aims to explore axial stress-strain relationships FRRP-confined columns. Another objective is assess suitable predictive models for ultimate strength strain A total 60 were cast, strengthened, tested under compressio...

Confined concrete in pipes provides a solution for the structures to resist lateral forces and avoids problems associated with production of confined reinforcement. To evaluate influence PVC pipe on compressive behavior filled composite tubes, ABAQUS software was used simulate 44 (CFPT). The internal steel reinforcement, unconfined strength, slenderness ratio, specimen’s size thickness tube fai...

Well-defined carbon polyhedrons with faceted morphologies and hollow internal structures made of self-organized multi-walled carbon nanotubes have been fabricated by gas phase catalytic CVD inside microchannels, of which the confined space is critical for the formation of polyhedral structures with hexagonal, heptagonal and octagonal cross-sections that show superhydrophobic properties, with th...
