High intrinsic mobility and small, biologically compatible size make single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) in demand for the next generation of electronic devices. Further, the wide range of available bandgaps due to changes in diameter and symmetry give SWNTs greater versatility than traditional semiconductors. Single-stranded DNA has been employed to make these desirable properties accessibl...

Several researches dealing with the single-phase forced convection heat transfer inside micro channels have been published in the past decades. The performance of liquid flow has been proved that agree with the conventional correlations very well (Yang and Lin [2007]). However, owing to the low heat transfer coefficient of gaseous flow, it is more difficult to eliminate the effects of thermal s...

The theory of superimposed incremental elastic deformations is applied to a deformed configuration residually-stressed circular cylindrical tube. tube subject internal or external pressure and an axial load that maintain its shape, then bifurcations from this shape are analysed. Detailed governing equations boundary conditions provided for axisymmetric, prismatic asymmetric general form strain–...

Packing problems have long been a topic of interest. Traditionally, efforts had been focused on Euclidean space, but as interest in hyperbolic space has grown, many of the Euclidean problems have been translated into the hyperbolic arena, in which the problems are almost always vastly more complicated. The particular packing problem of interest here is a hyperbolic version of packing congruent ...
