Controlled actuation of electroactive polymers with embedded high dielectric nanoparticles is theoretically analyzed. If the inclusions are placed randomly in the elastomer body, the composite always contracts along the direction of the applied field. For a simple cubic distribution of inclusions, contraction occurs if the applied field is directed along the [001] direction of the lattice. For ...

Pronation distortion syndrome is one of the most common abnormalities in the body that causes distortions in the structures of the skeletal structures of the lower extremities and increases postural sways. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of 12-week corrective exercises on postural sways in male students with pronation distortion syndrome. In this semi experimental research...

Ocean surface films can damp short capillary-gravity waves, reduce the surface mean square slope, and induce ‘‘sigma0 blooms’’ in satellite altimeter data. No study has ascertained the effect of such film on altimeter measurements due to lack of film data. The availability of Environmental Response Management Application (ERMA) oil cover, daily oil spill extent, and thickness data acquired duri...

Abstract. In this paper we define and verify a subclass of harmonic univalent functions involving the argument of complex-value functions of the form f = h + ¯g and investigate some properties of this subclass e.g. necessary and sufficient coefficient bounds, extreme points, distortion bounds and Hadamard product.Abstract. In this paper we define and verify a subclass of harmonic univalent func...

The M\"obius metric $\delta_G$ is studied in the cases where its domain $G$ an open sector of complex plane. We introduce upper and lower bounds for this terms hyperbolic angle sector, then use these results to find distortion under quasiregular mappings defined domains. Furthermore, we numerically study connection polygon

in this paper we obtain coefficient characterization‎, ‎extreme points and‎ ‎distortion bounds for the classes of harmonic $p-$valent functions‎ ‎defined by certain modified operator‎. ‎some of our results improve‎ ‎and generalize previously known results‎.

Ceramic coatings are in general a kind of brittle material because they predominantly made up ionic crystals that avoid dislocation motion caused by lattice distortion. In this regard, remarkable toughened ZrO2/MgO nanocomposite coating is obtained the plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) process and in-situ synthesized ZrO2 with quantitative control approach. It revealed toughening behavior rel...

Don't be square! A rare S(4) (2-) rectangle bridging two M(2)Cp(2)(mu(2)-CH(2))(2) (M=Rh, Ir) fragments is found to contain two "half-bonds" with S-S distances of 2.70 or 2.90 A. Computational studies explore the connection between these "half-bonds" and a Jahn-Teller distortion, as well as possible intermediates that form M(4)S(4) (2+) clusters having the S(4) (2-) rectangle rotated by 90 degr...
