Electron energy-loss magnetic chiral dichroism is a powerful technique that allows the local magnetic properties of materials to be measured quantitatively with close-to-atomic spatial resolution and element specificity in the transmission electron microscope. Until now, the technique has been restricted to measurements of the magnetic circular dichroism signal in the electron beam direction. H...

Introduction: Human identification plays a vital role in any crime investigation. Along with the various other established methods, cheiloscopy also plays a key role in linking the criminal with the crime. The ability of a technique in differentiating the sex of a person in the field can help in screening a large number of suspects. This study evaluated the efficacy of cheiloscopy in determinat...

Comparing the today’s situation to the last ISPRS congress, where the very first commercial digital large format airborne sensors ADS40 (Leica Geosystems) line scanner and DMC (ZI-Imaging now Intergraph) frame based camera were launched into the market, an increase in number of new digital airborne sensors (some of them already introduced into operational use) is clearly obvious over the last 4...

In this article, surface stress and nonlocal effects on the biaxial and uniaxial buckling of rectangular silver nanoplates embedded in elastic media are investigated using finite difference method (FDM). The uniform temperature change is utilized to study thermal effect. The surface energy effects are taken into account using the Gurtin-Murdoch’s theory. Using the principle of virtual work, the...

In this paper, the wave propagation method is combined with nonlocal elasticity theory to analyze the buckling and free vibration of rectangular Reddy nanoplate. Wave propagation is one of the powerful methods for analyzing the vibration and buckling of structures. It is assumed that the plate has two opposite edges simply supported while the other two edges may be simply supported or clamped. ...

We consider accretion disks consisting of counter-rotating gaseous components with an intervening shear layer. Configurations of this type may arise from the accretion of newly supplied counter-rotating gas onto an existing co-rotating gas disk. For simplicity we consider the case where the gas well above the disk midplane is rotating with angular rate +Ω and that well below has the same proper...

A heterojunction AgBr/Ag/AgCoO2 nanocomposite was synthesized by hydrothermal followed deposition precipitation method. The morphology, crystallinity and band structure of the nanoparticles were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) UV–Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV DRS). beads prepared coating material on petrocoke with aid chitosan. performa...
