In this paper, two-step sequential spin-dip and spin-spin coating, as well as one-step spin coating, methods are used to fabricate methylammonium lead mixed-halide perovskites to study the effect of process parameters, including the choice of the solvent, annealing temperature, spin velocity, and dipping time on the characteristics of the perovskite film. Our results show that using a mixture o...

Single walled carbon nanotubes were functionalized with different functionalities by simple dip coating. This fast and reproducible procedure was realized with nanotube coated electrodes for the construction of polyvalent biosensors. Three different pyrene derivatives were attached to the nanotube sidewalls by π-stacking interactions in a one-step reaction.

We construct a new harmonic family: dielectric flow solutions with maximal supersymmetry in eleven-dimensional supergravity. These solutions are asymptotically AdS4 ×S7, while in the infra-red the M2 branes are dielectrically polarized into M5 branes. These solutions are holographically dual to vacua of the mass deformed theory on M2 branes. They also provide an interesting insight on the super...

As mentioned before, the success of CASE relies on two noteworthy properties: the Sure Screening (SS) property and the Separable After Screening (SAS) property. In this section, we discuss the two properties in detail, and illustrate how these properties enable us to decompose the original regression problem to many small-size regression problems which can be fit separately. We then use these p...

I describe a modification to Shanks’ baby-step giant-step algorithm for computing the order n of an element g of a group G, assuming n is finite. My method has the advantage of being able to compute n quickly, which Shanks’ method fails to do when the order of G is infinite, unknown, or much larger than n. I describe the algorithm in detail. I also present the results of implementations of my a...

Baby boomers will begin entering old age in 2011. They will be the largest and most diverse cohort ever to experience this life-course transition. The sheer number of baby boomers has challenged institutions time after time (Dychtwald, 1990). Despite extensive speculation regarding the political, economic, and social impact that the aging of baby boomers will have on American society, no one ha...

We argue that the giant graviton configurations known from the literature have a complementary, microscopical description in terms of multiple gravitational waves undergoing a dielectric (or magnetic moment) effect. We present a non-Abelian effective action for these gravitational waves with dielectric couplings and show that stable dielectric solutions exist. These solutions agree in the large...

In dip-coating processes a three-dimensional object, e.g. an entire car body, is dipped into a liquid bath. In order to simulate such processes, the space surrounding the object is decomposed into the so-called flow volumes, for which each intersection with a horizontal plane is connected. At any time the liquid’s surface then has a unique level within such a flow volume, which greatly simplifi...
