Yttrium-stabilized zirconium dioxide implants made of brezirkon (whiteSKY, Bredent medical, Senden, Germany) were used for the treatment of edentulous ridge rehabilitation in the Dental Clinic of the University of Milan (Head of the Department, Prof. F. Santoro). Zirconium dioxide is a highly resistant ceramic material obtained by cleaning zirconium dioxide and zirconium silicate. The implant u...

Reflections and patterns of dissipated power of 915 MHz water load produced by The Ferrite Company, Inc. are computed by QuickWave-3D for water temperatures from 5 to 60C. Simple model generalizing experimental data is used for calculating the dielectric constant of tap water. It is shown that low reflections take place for all operating temperatures, and microwave power is dissipated primarily...

We have realized a conical matter wave lens. The repulsive potential of a focused laser beam was used to launch a Bose-Einstein condensate into a radially expanding wavepacket whose perfect ring shape was ensured by energy conservation. In spite of significant interactions between atoms, the spatial and velocity widths of the ring along its radial dimension remained extremely narrow, as also co...

The method for the evaluation of the distribution of carbon nanotube sizes from the static adsorption measurements and computer simulation of nitrogen at 77 K is developed. We obtain the condensation/evaporation pressure as a function of pore size of a cylindrical carbon tube using Gauge Cell Monte Carlo Simulation (Gauge Cell MC). To obtain the analytical form of the relationships mentioned ab...

In this paper we present a new model for calculating the capacitance of MEMS sensor with corrugated diaphragm. In this work the effect of residual stress is considered on deflection of diaphragm and capacitance of sensor. First, a new analytical analyzes have been carried out to derive mathematic expressions for central deflection of corrugated diaphragm and its relationship with residual stres...

In this article, the multi-objective optimization of cylindrical aluminum tubes under axial impact load is presented.The absorbed energy and the specific absorbed energy (SEA) are considered as objective functions while the maximum crush load should not exceed allowable limit. The geometric dimensions of tubes including diameter, length and thickness are chosen as design variables. The Non-domi...

Here, we demonstrate an anion controlled molecular gate based on synthetic ion channels modified with polyethyleneimine. For single conical nanochannels, addition of ATP leads to significant decrease in the rectified ion flux, representing the closure of the ionic gate. Complementary experiments performed with nanoporous membranes show that the flux of charged dye (NDS(2-)) through a cylindrica...

Abstract The paper deals with the problem of enhancement cooling recycled water in industry. authors developed a new design hybrid tower fill pack consisting inclined-corrugated contact plates and tube radiator. flow during process flows inside radiator to avoid direct air, preventing biofouling process. In addition, external surface is modified by finning for heat transfer intensification. pur...

In this paper the effect of corrugated diaphragm on performance of MEMS microphone is described. The corrugated diaphragm is modeled in order to improve the sensitivity of micromachined silicon acoustic sensor. Analytical analyzes have been carried out to derive mathematic expressions for the mechanical sensitivity and displacement of corrugated diaphragm with residual stress. It is shown that ...
