This study investigates epitaxially oriented pentacene films grown on Cu(110) surfaces crystallizing either in the "thin film" phase with standing molecules or in the "single crystal" structure with molecules lying with their long axes parallel to the substrate.

fajr (ksc 260) is an early maturity grain maize hybrid that has been developed from a cross between two inbred lines (k1264/5-1×k615/1). this cross was carried out in 1998, for the first time. several characteristics of fajr hybrid were studied in different trials (preliminary, semi final, final and on-farm trails) over several locations during 1998 to 2005. the mean grain yield of the hybrid o...

Geometrically thick disks may form after tidal disruption events, and rapid accretion may lead to short flares followed by long-term, lower-level emission. Using a novel accretion disk code which relies primarily on global conservation laws and the assumption that viscosity is everywhere positive, a broad range of physically allowed evolutionary sequences of thick disks is investigated. The mai...

OBJECTIVE Connectome disruption is a hallmark of many neurological diseases and trauma with no current strategies to restore lost long-distance axonal pathways in the brain. We are creating transplantable micro-tissue engineered neural networks (micro-TENNs), which are preformed constructs consisting of embedded neurons and long axonal tracts to integrate with the nervous system to physically r...

Structural buckling failure due to high external hydrostatic pressure is a major consideration in designing rings and long cylindrical shell-type structures. This paper presents a direct approach for enhancing buckling stability limits of thin-walled rings/long cylinders that are fabricated from multiangle fibrous laminated composite lay-ups. The mathematical formulation employs the classical l...

Thin-walled hollow steel columns, either circular or box shaped, are commonly used as piers in bridges. Recent earthquakes, e.g. Hyogoken-Nanbu or Kobe 1995, on the other hand have shown that these columns are vulnerable to damage when subjected to earthquake loading. This paper presents a new innovative thin-walled hollow steel column fabricated of corrugated plates, “thin-walled steel columns...

In  this paper  thin  films of  tin sulfide (SnS) were deposited on  the glass substrates using spray pyrolysis method with the substrate temperatures in the range of 400–600℃, keeping the other deposition parameters constant. In  this work  the characteristic of SnS  thin  films  investigated. The XRD pattern and optical transmittance of thin films also are discussed. With the change in concen...

magnetic properties of cobalt nanostructure thin films" (2009). Faculty Publications from Nebraska Center for Materials and Nanoscience. We report on optical, structural, and magnetic properties of two substantially different cobalt nanostructure thin films deposited at an oblique angle of incidence of 85° away from the substrate normal. Comparison is made between an achiral columnar thin film ...

In low ambient temperatures the engine will have poor output torque and power generation at the first cycles of its performance, long start time and huge noxious emissions because of insufficient temperature and quality of air-fuel mixture and failure of flame to burn the charge. It is noted that any attempt to increase the charge temperature leads to better combustion conditions. By applying t...
