The mechanical properties of silicene nanostructures subject to tensile loading were studied via a molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. The effects of temperature on Young's modulus and the fracture strain of silicene with armchair and zigzag types were examined. The maximum in-plane stress and the corresponding critical strain of the armchair and the zigzag silicene sheets at 300 K were 8.85 an...

At present, there remains uncertainty surrounding the glacial history of Fennoscandian Ice Sheet on Kola Peninsula and Russian Lapland, northwest Arctic Russia. This is attributed to lack high-resolution ice sheet-scale geomorphological data in region. paper presents 245,997 landforms a new high-resolution, map Lapland. Individual were mapped from relief-shaded renditions 2 m resolution ArcticD...

Injection molding is one of the most common processes which are used for manufacturing different plastic parts. This method includes 3 continuous steps: filling of the mold, cooling and driving the part out. A wide range of plastic and Non-Plastic materials can be used as raw material in this process. One of the most important advantages of this way of production is that it is very economic. In...

so far, for an analysis of seepage under hydraulic structures much research has beenconducted in the form of numerical models. however, few field and laboratory workshave been performed to study the boiling phenomena for evaluating numerical models.throughout the present work, a laboratory model was built to simulate seepage and itscontrolling measures under sheet piles. the model consisted of ...

Promise of Software Components In engineering design, the idea of aggregating standardized components to create a complex system has allowed engineers to create better systems more easily. Components are described in a handbook, where each has a “data sheet” entry. Its data sheet describes what a component does, and equally important, it gives constraints that allow the system designer to decid...

Single-molecule super-resolution microscopy allows imaging of fluorescently-tagged proteins in live cells with a precision well below that of the diffraction limit. Here, we demonstrate 3D sectioning with single-molecule super-resolution microscopy by making use of the fitting information that is usually discarded to reject fluorophores that emit from above or below a virtual-'light-sheet', a t...

Radar altimetry provides valuable measurements to characterize the state and the evolution of the ice sheet cover of Antartica and Greenland. Global Navigation Satellite System Reflectometry (GNSS-R) has the potential to complement the dedicated radar altimeters, increasing the temporal and spatial resolution of the measurements. Here we perform a study of the Greenland ice sheet using data obt...

The major protein constituents of amyloid deposits in Alzheimer's disease (AD) are the 40-residue beta-amyloid (Abeta) (1-40) peptide and the 42-residue Abeta(1-42) peptide. The Abeta(1-42) is more pathogenic and produced in greater quantities in familial forms of AD. A major goal of research is to uncover a suitable inhibitor that either slows down or inhibits Abeta formation (beta-amyloidosis...

We use a Monte Carlo approach to invert a spherical harmonic representation of cryosphere-attributed mass change in order to infer the most likely underlying mass changes within irregularly shaped ice-covered areas at nominal 26 km resolution. By inverting a spherical harmonic representation through the incorporation of additional fractional ice coverage information, this approach seeks to elim...

diphenhydramine, as an antihistamine drug is widely used for the treatment of allergies. however, being classified as an over the counter medication and the general belief on the low adverse effect profile of this drug has made it widely accessible to the families. recent reports of diphenhydramine intoxication and mortality, noticeably in children and infants have raised some serious concerns....
