For one-component fluids, we examine the predrying phase transition between a thin and thick low-density layer in liquid on a wall repelling the fluid. This is the case of a hydrophobic wall for water. A predrying line starts from the coexistence curve and ends at a surface critical point in the phase diagram. We calculate this line numerically using the van der Waals model and analytically usi...

from hexanic extract of aerial parts of peucedanum ruthenicum m. bieb (apiaceae) collected from mazandaran province of iran, four triterpenoids namely taraxasterol, y-taraxasterol, poriferasterol and b-sitosterol have been isolated by column chromatography, thin layer chromatography, and crystallization. their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods (uv, ir, ms, 1h and 13c-nmr).

the steel shear wall and composite steel plate shear wall is introduced in recent three decade and is considered and is spread rapidly. composite steel plate shear wall which is made of a layer of thin steel sheet with coating of reinforced concrete in one or both sides of steel palate is considered a third generation of resistance shear walls against lateral loads that in addition to increasin...

A variety of thin-skinned fold-and-thrust belts are associated with multiple décollements, which have low frictional basal and intermediate décollements related to mechanical stratigraphy or overpressure conditions. The present study considers six ternary series numerical discrete element (DE) models simulate explore the effects varied décollement layers, number cover sequences thickness in str...

The mechanical compressive properties of individual thin-wall and thick-wall TiO(2) nanotubes were directly measured for the first time. Nanotubes with outside diameters of 75 and 110 nm and wall thicknesses of 5 and 15 nm, respectively, were axially compressed inside a 400 keV high-resolution transmission electron microscope (TEM) using a new fully integrated TEM-atomic force microscope (AFM) ...
