The family of two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal carbides, carbonitrides, and nitrides, known as MXenes, has grown from a single composition in 2011 to ~50-composition family. With large number possible transition metals their combinations, four 2D thickness ranges for flake, tunable surface chemistry the capability hosting species between flakes, MXenes can be considered one most amendable ...

Having knowledge of stability of an underground space depends on stresses and strains around it. Creating underground tunnels leads to significant changes in the rock mass stress. Therefore, to achieve the necessary stability, stresses and deformations around the tunnel must be examined carefully. Usually, stress-strain behavior analysis is conducted in two-dimensional mode. This paper was cond...

Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) populations for recurrent selection often are intercrossed after each cycle using bees (Apis mellifera) in isolation blocks to save the expense of hand labor. This experiment was conducted to determine whether the rate of natural outcrossing could be increased using growth regulators, plot size management, and node of fruit position for seed harvest. The experiment...

‎‎A natural generalization of two dimensional cyclic code ($T{TDC}$) is two dimensional skew cyclic code‎. ‎It is well-known that there is a correspondence between two dimensional skew cyclic codes and left ideals of the quotient ring $R_n:=F[x,y;rho,theta]/_l$‎. ‎In this paper we characterize the left ideals of the ring $R_n$ with two methods and find the generator matrix for two dimensional s...

[1] Radar interferometry (InSAR), field measurements and creepmeters reveal surface slip on multiple faults in the Imperial Valley triggered by the main shock of the 4 April 2010 El Mayor‐Cucapah Mw 7.2 earthquake. Co‐seismic offsets occurred on the San Andreas, Superstition Hills, Imperial, Elmore Ranch, Wienert, Coyote Creek, Elsinore, Yuha, and several minor faults near the town of Ocotillo ...

How the brain represents represent large-scale, navigable space has been the topic of intensive investigation for several decades, resulting in the discovery that neurons in a complex network of cortical and subcortical brain regions co-operatively encode distance, direction, place, movement etc. using a variety of different sensory inputs. However, such studies have mainly been conducted in si...
