Nanostructured SnO2 thin films were prepared using Electron Beam-Physical Vapor Deposition (EB-PVD) technique. Then Ag nanoparticles synthesized by laser-pulsed ablation were sprayed on the films. In order to form a homogenous coated of SnO2 on the glass surface, it was thermally treated at 500°C for 1 h. At this stage, the combined layer on the substrate was completely dried for 8 h in the air...

The functionality of a newly developed silicone oil-free (SOF) syringe system, of which the plunger stopper is coated by a novel coating technology (i-coating™), was assessed. By scanning electron microscopy observations and other analysis, it was confirmed that the plunger stopper surface was uniformly covered with the designed chemical composition. A microflow imaging analysis showed that the...

The LHC injection systems consist of horizontally deflecting steel septum magnets and vertically deflecting kickers. A mobile beam stopper is placed downstream of the kickers for setting up with single bunches and to protect the superconducting machine elements during normal injection in the event of a malfunctioning of the kickers. The effects of various potential kicker failures and their imp...

Bleeding can cause significant morbidity and mortality in clinical settings. Several haemostatic agents have been investigated for their role in haemostasis6,9,11,13. Ankaferd Blood Stopper® (ABS; Ankaferd Health Products Ltd., Istanbul, Turkey) is a traditional folk medicinal plant extract product that has been approved in the management of external hemorrhage and dental surgery bleedings in T...

We consider a zero sum, stochastic differential game which involves two players, the controller and the stopper. The stopper selects the stopping rule which halts the game. The controller chooses the diffusion coefficient of the corresponding state process which is allowed to degenerate. At the end of the game, the controller pays the stopper, the amount E ∫ τ 0 eC(Zx(t))dt, where Zx(·) represe...

A series of new squaraine rotaxanes have been synthesized with a tetralactam macrocycle and stopper groups of varying sizes and functionalities. In chloroform solvent, the relative size of the stopper group appears to have little influence on the high mechanical stability of the rotaxane structure. There is no evidence for unthreading (sometimes referred to as deslipping), even in the presence ...

Viaducts with roller bearings are subject to large displacement, which could lead the collapse of deck during earthquakes. This study attempts prevent displacements by installing steel stoppers at both sides bearings. The efficiency viscous damper stiffness on seismic performance curved viaducts combined use a spatial multipoint is evaluated. pounding phenomena exactly simulated, considering en...
