Starting from the three-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equation (3D GPE) we derive a 1D generalized nonpolynomial Schrödinger equation (1D g-NPSE) which describes the dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensates under the action of a generic potential in the longitudinal axial direction and of an anisotropic harmonic potential in the transverse radial direction. This equation reduces to the familiar 1D ...

This study of the effects of local geological conditions on seismic ground motion uses 1D amplification as a reference point and examines, via simple theoretical and more realistic numerical examples and observations, how 2D and 3D conditions differ from 1D estimations. Because 1D simulations cannot model basin and edge effects, 1D response tends, in general, to exhibit lower peaks and be of sh...

The application of one-dimensional (1D) V2O5·nH2O nanostructures as pH sensing material was evaluated. 1D V2O5·nH2O nanostructures were obtained by a hydrothermal method with systematic control of morphology forming different nanostructures: nanoribbons, nanowires and nanorods. Deposited onto Au-covered substrates, 1D V2O5·nH2O nanostructures were employed as gate material in pH sensors based o...

One-dimensional (1D) kinematic, force, and EMG trajectories are often analyzed using zero-dimensional (0D) metrics like local extrema. Recently whole-trajectory 1D methods have emerged in the literature as alternatives. Since 0D and 1D methods can yield qualitatively different results, the two approaches may appear to be theoretically distinct. The purposes of this paper were (a) to clarify tha...

More and more studies are based on digital microstructures of cement pastes obtained either by numerical modelling or by experiments. A comprehensive understanding of the their pore structures, therefore, becomes significant. In this study, the pore structure of a virtual cement paste (HYMO-1d) generated by cement hydration model HYMOSTRUC 3D is characterized. The pore structure of HYMO-1d is c...

A simple and mild wet-chemical approach was developed for the synthesis of one-dimensional (1D) In(OH)(3) nanostructures. By calcining the 1D In(OH)(3) nanocrystals in air at 250 degrees C, 1D In(2)O(3) nanocrystals with the same morphology were obtained. TEM results show that both 1D In(OH)(3) and 1D In(2)O(3) are composed of uniform nanotube bundles. SAED and XRD patterns indicate that 1D In(...

Well-defined CdS nanograin-sensitized one-dimensional (1D) Zr:α-Fe2O3 nanostructured arrays with enhanced photoelectrochemical performance are synthesized directly on F-doped SnO2 (FTO) using the hydrothermal method. Owing predominantly to the appropriate photogenerated electron-hole separation and charge collection in 1D Zr:α-Fe2O3 nanorods, hydrothermally deposited CdS/1D Zr:α-Fe2O3 samples e...

Nanotubes, nanowires and nanobelts are important one-dimensional (1D) nanomaterials that are the foundation for nanoscience and nanotechnology (Fig. 1a). 1D nanomaterials have important applications in electronics, optoelectronics, sensors, biomedical science, environmental science, green energy and advanced defence technologies. This themed issue on inorganic 1D nanomaterials gathers papers ab...

We report the preparation of novel quasi-one-dimensional (quasi-1D) C60 nanostructures on rippled graphene. Through careful control of the subtle balance between the linear periodic potential of rippled graphene and the C60 surface mobility, we demonstrate that C60 molecules can be arranged into a quasi-1D C60 chain structure with widths of two to three molecules. At a higher annealing temperat...

Thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) is a potentially severe autoimmune disease, in and around the orbit, usually accompanied by Graves' disease. It was the goal of this study to develop a serological indicator for TAO and to characterize its expression in human thyroid and eye muscle tissue. Thus, we have recloned the full-length 1D-complementary DNA and assessed its expression levels in 90...
