having sufficient and accurate understanding about kinetics of phenomena, could be an important reason for further technological progresses. finding a white-box mathematical model for weight vs. time curves of electrophoretic deposition (epd) using large and small signal analysis has been studied thoroughly in the present investigation. weight-time curves of nano-mullite suspension have been tr...

We show that for integers k ≥ 2 and n ≥ 3, the diameter of the Cayley graph of SLn(Z/kZ) associated to a standard two-element generating set, is at most a constant times n 2 ln k. This answers a question of A. Lubotzky concerning SLn(Fp) and is unexpected because these Cayley graphs do not form an expander family. Our proof amounts to a quick algorithm for finding short words representing eleme...

Cantilever magnetometry experiments were performed on arrays of Bi nanowires of various diameters both on the semimetal and semiconductor side of the semimetal-tosemiconductor transition (SMSC) that is predicted to occur for diameters of approximately 50 nm. Our 270 nm nanowire samples, which are on the semimetal side of the SMSC transition, exhibit strong dHvA oscillations that can be interpre...

results in group 1, the mean largest and cumulative stone diameters, respectively, were 18.7 ± 5.7 mm and 45.0 ± 12.0 mm. in group 2, the mean volume was 6,288.4 ± 2,733.0 mm3. the overall sf was 96.4% (100% for group 1 and 75% for group 2). the mean number of sessions of eswl and urs, respectively, was 1.4 ± 0.7 and 0.8 ± 0.9 in group 1 and 4.0 ± 2.0 and 1.5 ± 1.3 in group 2. the mean times to...

Contemporary nanostructured transparent electrodes for use in solar cells require high transmittance and high conductivity, dictating nanostructures with high aspect ratios. Optical haze is an equally important yet unstudied parameter in transparent electrodes for solar cells that is also determined by the geometry of the nanostructures that compose the electrode. In this work, the effect of th...
