We were disappointed that Gornall's article 1 was published without a response from us. It added nothing new. 2 3 Our paper reviewed the first 57 deaths on the CONI (Care Of Next Infant), programme. We reaffirm that nine deaths were inevitable (recognised cause), and of the 48 unexpected deaths, seven were probable homicide. Professor Emery led the CONI steering group until his death (2000). We...

NiCu alloy nanowires arrays were embedded into the anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) template by ac-pulse electrodeposition. Different off-time were used in electrolyte with constant concentration of Ni and Cu and acidity of 3. The effect of deposition parameters on alloy contents was investigated by studying the microstructure and magnetic properties of as-deposited NiCu alloy nanowires. Atomic forc...

in this paper, a numerical solution procedure is presented for the forced vibration of a piezoelectric nanowire under thermo-electro-mechanical loads based on the nonlocal elasticity theory within the framework of timoshenko beam theory. using hamilton’s principle, the nonlocal governing differential equations are derived. the governing equations and the related boundary conditions are discreti...

the aim of this research is preparation of sno2 nanowires by means of thermal chemical reaction vapor transport deposition (tcrvtd) method from sno powders. the morphology, chemical composition and microstructure properties of the nanowires are characterized using field emission scanning electron microscope (fe-sem), eds, and xrd. the xrd diffraction patterns reveal that the sno2 nanowires have...
