magnetic force microscope ( mfm ) is a powerful technique for mapping the magnetic force gradient above the sample surface. herein, single-wall carbon nanotubes (swcnt) were used to fabricate mfm probe by dielectrophoresis method which is a reproducible and cost-effective technique. the effect of induced voltage on the deposition manner of carbon nanotubes (cnt) on the atomic force microscope (...

Recent advances in the probe vehicle deployment offer an innovative prospect for research in arterial travel time estimation. Specifically, we focus on the estimation of probability distribution of arterial route travel time, which cont...

We revisit the far from equilibrium escape problem across a fluctuating potential barrier that is driven by asymmetric, unbiased dichotomous noise. Our closed analytical solution for arbitrary noise strengths reveals new aspects of the so-called ‘‘resonant-activation’’ effect and leads to interesting implications regarding far from equilibrium or externally controlled chemical reaction processe...

Abstract Superlubricity provides a novel approach to addressing friction and wear issues in mechanical systems. However, little is known regarding improving the atomic force microscope (AFM) coefficient measurement resolution. Accordingly, this study established theoretical formula for AFM deduced Then, was applied probe with rectangular cross-section cantilever. The resolution associated dimen...

This paper proposes the design and simulation of a rectangular microstrip patch antenna for hyperthermia applications. Using electromagnetic simulations we optimized the dimensions of a probe-fed patch antenna design for operation at 2.45 GHz. This antenna is having the thickness of 1.6mm FR-4 substrate, is a probe feed and has a full ground plane. It has been used as hyperthermia applicators i...

In this paper, a novel type of scanning near-field millimeter-wave microscopy using a metal slit-type probe is proposed. A tapered reduced-height rectangular waveguide forms the slit aperture, which has a width much smaller than one wavelength and length of the order of . The slit probe can be operated in theTE10 mode and, thus, results in high transmission efficiency, even when the width is ex...

In this paper, we report on the large-scale, rapid synthesis of uniform rectangular coordination polymer nanoplates (RCPNs) assembled from Cu(II) and 4,4'-bipyridine for the first time. We further demonstrate that such RCPNs can be used as a very effective fluorescent sensing platform for multiple DNA detection with a detection limit as low as 30 pM and a high selectivity down to single-base mi...

Analysis of dielectric resonator probe (DRP) arrays operating in an oversized hard waveguide with sectoral hard horn excitation is presented. A single DRP excited by a coaxial probe is first investigated inside a hollow rectangular waveguide and a waveguide loaded with hard walls, respectively. Simulation results are compared with measurement results and show a good agreement. Then, a one-dimen...

Homing pigeons (Columba livia) were trained to locate a goal in one corner of a rectangular arena by either its shape (geometry) or the left-right configuration of colored features located in each corner (feature structure). Control and hippocampal-lesioned pigeons learned at a similar rate, but the control birds made proportionally more geometric errors during acquisition. On conflict probe tr...
