The retina is a highly specialised part of the brain responsible for visual processing. It is well-laminated; three layers containing five different types of neurons are compartmentalised by two synaptic layers. Among the retinal layers, the inner nuclear layer (INL) is composed of horizontal, bipolar, and amacrine cell types. Bipolar cells form one sublayer in the distal half of the IPL, while...

Using the transfer matrix method and Floquet’s theorem we have derived the dispersion relation for acoustic wave propagation in a periodic layered structure in which each unit cell contains several sub-layers of different materials. Structures with unit cells containing two, four and six sublayers of different thickness and two types of materials were used as examples for our study. It was foun...

Abstract Perylene dyes have applications in many fields. Herewith, we report on the synthesis and properties of a series PEGylated perylene bisimides with varying PEG chain lengths. Such molecules are formed by hydrophobic core functionalized at imide positions hydrophilic non-ionic functional groups, which impart solubility capacity to self-assemble water. The diluted solutions synthesized sho...

Recent developments of nanostructured coatings have reached a point where extensive investigations within multi-layer systems are necessary for further implementation in novel photonic systems. Although sculptured thin films explored decades, no optical and structural measurements been performed anisotropic with different deposition conditions the dense layer. In this paper, we present morpholo...

In our quest to make various chemical processes sustainable, the development of facile synthetic routes and inexpensive catalysts can play a central role. Herein we report the synthesis of monodisperse, polyaniline (PANI)-derived mesoporous carbon nanoparticles (PAMCs) that can serve as efficient metal-free electrocatalysts for the hydrogen peroxide reduction reaction (HPRR) as well as the oxyg...
