Mesoscopic, nanoporous carbon tubes were synthesized by a combination of the Stoeber process and the use of electrospun macrosized polystyrene fibres as structure directing templates. The obtained carbon tubes have a macroporous nature characterized by a thick wall structure and a high specific surface area of approximately 500 m²/g resulting from their micro- and mesopores. The micropore regim...

Mass flow inequality in the initial stage of tube processing can lead to eccentricity and micro- nano-structural changes that affect residual stress texture development. In this study, macro- micro-texture development copper tubes drawn with a tilted die was investigated using three methods: synchrotron, neutron diffraction, electron backscatter positions maximum minimum wall thickness tubes. U...

We describe a CMOS-based micro-system for time-resolved fluorescence lifetime analysis. It comprises a 16 × 4 array of single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs) fabricated in 0.35 μm high-voltage CMOS technology with in-pixel time-gated photon counting circuitry and a second device incorporating an 8 × 8 AlInGaN blue micro-pixellated light-emitting diode (micro-LED) array bump-bonded to an equival...

Experiments on the flow boiling heat transfer of almost pure CO2 and CO2-oil mixtures in horizontal smooth and micro-fin tubes have been carried out. The smooth tube is a stainless steel tube with an inside diameter of 3mm, and the micro-fin tube is a copper tube with a mean inside diameter of 3.04mm. Experiments were carried out at mass velocities from 190 to 1300kg/(ms), saturation temperatur...

Our preliminary photoacoustic data indicates that we could detect small objects (tubes with a cross-section of 1mm) containing 100 micro moles of contrast agent up to about 5cm in the breast-tissue like environment. For the case of 10 micro moles concentration of the dye, we could detect such small objects up to about 3cm. This depth can be increased further (by at least another 2cm) by the use...

Little is known about the effect of specimen preparation and testing protocols on the micro-shear bond strength (μSBS) results. To evaluate whether variations in polyethylene rod use affect (μSBS)). Human dentin disks were randomly distributed into six groups (n = 5): polyethylene tube (3 levels) and adhesive system (2 levels). In Group 1, polyethylene tubes filled with polymerized composite) w...
