We report the fabrication of flexible conductive graphene paper through a direct and gentle annealing process of graphene oxide paper. Thermal treatments at 700 oC under argon or hydrogen atmosphere directly applied to parent graphene oxide paper lead to a significant removal of disruptive oxygen-containing functional groups, and to a considerable recovery of the sp network structure. Detailed ...

Susceptibility of flexure-dominated reinforced concrete walls to premature compression failure modes (global lateral instability, local rebar buckling, etc.) was exposed during the recent past earthquake events in Chile and New Zealand. Numerous experimental studies have been conducted since then on isolated columns representing wall boundary zones study critical parameters influencing these mo...

The study aimed to find out possible changes in climatic data (temperature and rainfall) from the regional climate model viz. PRECIS(Providing Regional Climates for Impact Studies)under different SRES scenarios (A1B, A2 B2 scenario) by mid (2021-2050) end (2071-2100) century at six locations of Punjab representing agroclimatic zones their impact on maize yield using crop growth simulation model...

A feasibility study on the possible growth of rod-shaped nano size zinc oxide particles on the surface of polyester fabric was investigated. The nanoparticles were produced using a hydrolysis method, with a zinc compound being utilized as the starter material. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (SEM/EDS) and X-ray d...

We investigated the location of calcium entry sites and synaptic ribbons in the type-Mb goldfish bipolar neuron and the bullfrog saccular hair cell. Cells were loaded with a fast calcium indicator (Fluo-3 or Fluo-5F) and an excess of a high-affinity but slow Ca buffer (EGTA). The cell surface was imaged by evanescent field microscopy. Small fluorescent "hot spots" representing calcium entry sit...

Different types of iron oxides deposits have been identified along the Khaf – Dorouneh volcanic and plutonic belt in north east of Iran. Kuh-e-Zar is one of these ore deposits known as Fe- oxide gold deposit. The main purpose of this paper is to detect and discriminate the iron oxide minerals in this area based on the ETM+ data. Data processing has been done by ENVI (Environment for Visualizing...

• Microstructural features of a thick-walled WAAM stainless steel part are investigated. Microstructure exhibits periodically repeating characteristics across the part. Oriented and textured structure with large grains at overlapping region adjacent fusion zones. Significant spatial variations in terms zone shape, grain structure, texture, phases. Wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) is class...

Objective(s): Since microbial contamination can reduce the shelf life of the foodstuff and there is a potential for the growth of some pathogen microorganisms, films containing antimicrobial agents were produced, which are also biodegradable. In this study, the effect of 1, 3 and 5% nano-zinc oxide on antimicrobial properties and permeability of poly lactic acid film was invest...

The study of Triglochin maritima L. was carried out on the Pomor (western) coast White Sea, in Republic Karelia (64°22'81"N, 35°93'14"E). Morphological analysis aboveground and underground parts clones performed virginal plants. Anatomical leaf sheaths current year shoots, rhizomes adventitious roots out. viability pollen assessed by determining relative share normally developed malformed grain...
