Tim Hoogenboom Birkholm 34 Hoofddorp +31614576051 [email protected] 0436267 Informatiekunde ii How Building a Pyramid in Tokyo Bay and Bridging User Communities Relate to Each Other. I magine a three-dimensional city that is twelve times higher that the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt. It is the largest structure on the world and it floats over Tokyo Bay while being build largely by robots. It ...

A surface acoustic wave (SAW), device composed of polymer and ceramic fillers, exhibiting high piezoelectricity flexibility, has a wide range sensing applications in the aerospace field. The demand for flexible SAW sensors been gradually increasing due to their small size, wireless capability, low fabrication cost, fast response time. This paper discusses structural, thermal, electrical propert...

The nano-structured vaccine delivery system, containing tomatine, n-octyl-β-Dglucopyranoside (OGP), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), cholesterol, and ovalbumin (OVA), was examined in the present study. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and fluorescence microscopy were carried out to examine the nano-structures of this complex vaccine delivery system and its interactions with the antigen-pres...

nanoindentation techniques are widely used for the study of nanomechanical properties of thin nanocomposite coatings. theoretical concepts and practical use of nanoindentation method are summarized with reporting the applications of these tests in characterization of some particular thin nanocomposite hybrid coatings prepared by sol-gel process. the better mechanical properties can be obtained ...

In this study, a three-dimensional continuum percolation model was developed based on a Monte Carlo simulation approach to investigate the percolation behavior of an electrically insulating matrix reinforced with conductive nano-platelet fillers. The conductivity behavior of composites rendered conductive by randomly dispersed conductive platelets was modeled by developing a three-dimensional f...

In recent years, nanocomposites based on various nano-scale carbon fillers, such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs), are increasingly being thought of as a realistic alternative to conventional smart materials, largely due to their superior electrical properties. Great interest has been generated in building highly sensitive strain sensors with these new nanocomposites. This article reviews the recent ...

Nowadays, the most widely used insulating materials in high voltage equipment such as cables are polymeric insulations due to the numerous merits they possess with regards to electrical performance compared to paper insulations. However, electrical treeing, one of the dielectric pre-breakdown phenomena, has been considered as a major contribution to the failure of insulating polymeric materials...

The ever-increasing interest in retaining a youthful physical appearance has facilitated the development of various minimally invasive dermatological techniques. The use of intradermal fillers can be incorporated into dermatological practices with minimal overhead costs. This strategy addresses facial volume loss and dynamic lines, which are the main features of facial aging. Moreover, intrader...
