Three-dimensional (3D) nanowire (NW) networks are promising for designing high-performance photoelectrochemical (PEC) electrodes owing to their long optical path for efficient light absorption, high-quality one-dimensional conducting channels for rapid electron-hole separation and charge transportation, as well as high surface areas for fast interfacial charge transfer and electrochemical react...

Hybrid films composed of reduced graphene oxide (RG-O) and Cu nanowires (NWs) were prepared. Compared to Cu NW films, the RG-O/Cu NW hybrid films have improved electrical conductivity, oxidation resistance, substrate adhesion, and stability in harsh environments. The RG-O/Cu NW films were used as transparent electrodes in Prussian blue (PB)-based electrochromic devices where they performed sign...

OBJECTIVE To assess the prevalence and comorbid conditions of nocturnal wandering with abnormal state of consciousness (NW) in the American general population. METHODS Cross-sectional study conducted with a representative sample of 19,136 noninstitutionalized individuals of the U.S. general population ≥18 years old. The Sleep-EVAL expert system administered questions on life and sleeping habi...

lstituto Beni Culturali (Institute for Cultural Heritage) is the cultural institution of Regione Emilia Romagna. IBC web site [6] has been completely revised in cooperation with Hypermedia Open Center [S], the laboratory of the Electronics and Information Department at Politecnico di Milano. We adopted W2000 model for requirements analysis and for the analysis and organization of the applicatio...

Metamorphic and various intrusive rocks in the Urmia area are located in a transpressed active continental margin. These complexes in the Zagros orogen were deformed during an oblique convergence scenario between the Arabian and Sanandaj–Sirjan blocks in NW Iran. The Urmia area contains both NW-SE striking dextral strike-slip and SW verging NE dipping ductile reverse shear fabrics. Ductile shea...

The Network Workbench (NW) is a software environment for academic investigation of network protocol concepts. The structure and operation of NW has been described in detail elsewhere. This paper addresses the instructional design of NW with the intention of establishing that it represents`natural constructivism' in that it is strongly aligned with the constructivist approach. We begin with syno...

Nanowire field-effect transistors (NW-FETs) are emerging as powerful sensors for detection of chemical/biological species with various attractive features including high sensitivity and direct electrical readout. Yet to date there have been limited systematic studies addressing how the fundamental factors of devices affect their sensitivity. Here we demonstrate that the sensitivity of NW-FET se...

We examined the variation and heritability of DSM-IV nicotine withdrawal (NW) in adult and adolescent male and female twin cigarette smokers (who reported smoking 100 or more cigarettes lifetime). Telephone diagnostic interviews were completed with 3,112 Australian adult male and female smokers (53% women; age: 24-36) and 702 Missouri adolescent male and female smokers (59% girls; age: 15-21). ...
