the objective of the present study is the synthesis of mwcnt-tio2 hybrid nanostructures by solvothermal synthesis method with ticl4 as precursor. the heat transfer enhancement due to the use of mwcnt-tio2 nanofluid was investigated. as-prepared hybrid materials were characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd) and scanning electron microscopy (sem). the results showed that mwcnts were uniformly dec...

dehghan (ksc 400) is an early-medium maturity grain maize hybrid that has been developed from a cross between two inbred lines (ke72012/12×k1263/1). this cross was carried out in 1997, for the first time. the characteristics of dehghan hybrid were studied in different trials (preliminary, semi final, final and on farm trials) in several locations during 1997 to 2005. the mean grain yield of the...

in this study 18 forage corn (zea mays l.) hybrid varieties were evaluated based on rcbd with four replications in khorasan razavi agricultural and natural resources research centre, iran, on 2008-2009. result of analysis of variance showed that there was significantly difference between hybrids in forage yield, ear weight and ear to biomass ratio. results of hybrids mean comparison with duncan...

This paper investigated the moisture absorption, mechanical behavior and the dielectric performance of hybrid and non-hybrid polymeric composites. Hand lay-up technique was used for processing carbon; glass reinforced polyester resin composites (non-hybrid) and carbon-glass/polyester hybrid composites with various fiber configurations. The maximum resistance of water absorption was obtained for...

to improve the corrosion protection of copper metal, 0.01m concentration of 1h-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol (tat) was incorporated into the hybrid sol-gel monolayers containing 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (gptms) and tetraethoxysilane (teos). it was further subjected to hydrolysis and condensation reaction to form a sol-gel matrix. the tat-doped hybrid sol-gel coating was applied over the coppe...

in this paper, we introduce hybrid of block-pulse functions and bernstein polynomials and derive operational matrices of integration, dual, differentiation, product and delay of these hybrid functions by a general procedure that can be used for other polynomials or orthogonal functions. then, we utilize them to solvedelay differential equations and time-delay system. the method is based upon ex...

in this paper, the development and optimization of power distribution control strategy (pdcs) have been performed for a hybrid energy storage systems (hess) of a series hybrid electric bus (sheb). a common pdcs is based on the use of ultra-capacitor (uc) pack. a new simple pdcs is developed as a battery based one. for the battery based pdcs, four parameters are introduced for tuning the pdcs pe...

in this paper, we introduce the new class of implicit l-stable generalized hybrid methods forthe numerical solution of first order initial value problems. we generalize the hybrid methodswith utilize ynv directly in the right hand side of classical hybrid methods. the numericalexperimentation showed that our method is considerably more efficient compared to wellknown methods used for the numer...

the seismic performance of hybrid braces composed of steel and shape memory alloy (sma) was investigated in this paper. six types of hybrid braces were used, constituted by sma content of 0, 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100%. a nonlinear dynamic analysis was performed under el centro earthquake records, with the maximum acceleration of 0.6g and 0.9g. our results showed that the seismic performance, i.e....

in this research, we report the results of dft calculations using xc-hybrid functional, b3lyp and employ nbo interpretation to investigate the stereoelectronic effects. electrostatic and steric impacts on the conformational properties of 1,2-difluorodiazene (1), 1,2-dichlorodiazene (2) and 1,2-dibromodiazene (3) are also studied. factors determining the thermodynamically stable molecular struct...
