The equivalent radius for any solution property is the radius of a spherical particle having the same value of solution property as that of the macromolecule under consideration. Equivalent radii for different properties present a dependence on size and shape that are more similar than the values of the properties themselves. Furthermore, the ratios of equivalent radii of two properties depend ...

Aging of precipitation hardened alloys results in particle coarsening, which in turn affects the strength. In this study, the effect of particle size distribution on the strength of precipitation-hardened alloys was considered. To better represent real alloys, the particle radii were distributed using the Wagner and Lifshitz and Slyozov (WLS) particle size distribution theory. The dislocation m...

We investigate the equilibrium morphology of a finite volume of liquid placed on two parallel rigid fibers of different radii. As observed for identical radii fibers, the liquid is either in a column morphology or adopts a drop shape depending on the inter-fiber distance. However the cross-sectional area and the critical inter-fiber distance at which the transition occurs are both modified by t...

A basic insight into the atomic structures of elements of the Periodic Table are presented in terms of their covalent radii, Bohr radii, nuclear and electron radii and their relation to the Golden ratio. The detailed structures of the quasi crystal forming elements, aluminium and manganese have been chosen here as special examples. At the atomic level, their crystal parameters and bond lengths ...

We measure the optical-absorption spectra and optical conductivities of excitons and trions in monolayers of metal dichalcogenide MoS2 and compare the results with theoretical models. Our results show that the Wannier-Mott model for excitons with modifications to account for small exciton radii and large exciton relative wave function spread in momentum space, phase space blocking due to Pauli ...

We studied hearts in which hypertrophy was caused by both pressure and volume overload. Pressure hypertrophy was induced by an aortic constriction; volume hypertrophy was induced by an iron-copper deficiency (anemia). The ventricular weight was increased by 34% in the pressure-hypertrophied hearts at the end of 6 weeks. The ventricular weight was increased by 54% in the volume-hypertrophied hea...

A diamond-structured photonic crystal (PC) with graded air spheres radii was fabricated successfully by stereolithography (SL) and gel-casting process. The graded radii in photonic crystal were formed by uniting different radii in photonic crystals with a uniform radius together along the Г‑Х direction. The stop band was observed between 26.1 GHz and 34.3 GHz by reflection and transmission meas...

The lattice coherency and critical radii for Al3X precipitates in an aluminum matrix were computed using firstprinciples methods. From density functional perturbation theory and the quasi-harmonic approximation, the unit cell parameters as a function of temperature were determined for Al3Sc, Al3Zr, Al3Ti, and Al3Nb in the L12 structure, and for Al3Ti and Al3Nb in their more stable DO22 structur...

A number of recent two-dimensional echocardiographic studies have attempted to relate quantitative changes in short-axis left ventricular radial wall motion to underlying myocardial ischemia/infarction. The significance of temporal variation in the contraction sequence within these ischemic regions in the overall evaluation of segmental left ventricular dysfunction, however, remains undefined. ...

The average scattered intensity is determined by the optical characteristics of particles in dispersion. The normalized time auto-correlation function of the scattered light intensity g (τ ) includes both the optical and hydrodynamic information of particles. From the different characteristics of particles, the particle sizes can be obtained. In this paper, three sizes: the static radius Rs, th...
