This communication reports on the novel work of creating a transistor channel based on functionalized single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) via electrostatic atomization deposition. The current method of drop-cast though convenient was unable to produce replicable transistor device due to its inherent inability in controlling the volume of liquid being drop-cast. Hence, this method of electros...

Developing human-centered agent architectures requires the integral consideration of architectural flexibility, teamwork adaptability, and context reasoning capability. With the integration of various forms of team intelligence including shared teamwork process and progress, dynamic context management and information dependency reasoning, and recognition-primed collaborative decision mechanism,...

Mixtures of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) and polystyrenesulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) have high electrical conductivity when cast from aqueous suspensions in combination with a high boiling-point cosolvent dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). The electronic component of the thermal conductivity of these highly conducting polymers is of interest for evaluating their potential for thermoelectric cooling and po...

Self-assembly of positively charged and charge-neutral tridentate cyclometalated platinum(II) complexes leads to nanowires and the drop-cast film containing these nanowires behaves as a n-type semiconductor.

In this research the role of alloying elements on the microstructure and mechanical properties of an as cast and hot rolled high strength low alloy (HSLA) steel was studied. Different compositions with different amount of copper in the presence of nickel, hot rolled and quenched in oil. Tensile test, hardness test, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and optical microscope (OM) were used to eval...

In the region from arterial trunks to pial arterioles anatomical characteristics of the cerebral artery as revealed by quantitative treatment of the arterial cast consist in the predominance of the length of large arterial branches over that of the arterioles. Theoretical analysis of blood pressure drop based on the above result demonstrates a large pressure drop in the region of large arterial...

Previous work has validated the eyes and mobile input as a viable approach for pointing at, and selecting out of reach objects. This work presents Eye Pull, Eye Push, a novel interaction concept for content transfer between public and personal devices using gaze and touch. We present three techniques that enable this interaction: Eye Cut & Paste, Eye Drag & Drop, and Eye Summon & Cast. We outli...

UNLABELLED Aqueous dispersion of conductive polymer poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonate) ( PEDOT PSS) was deposited on spin-coated and drop cast nanofibrillar cellulose (NFC)-glycerol (G) matrix on a glass substrate. A thin glycerol film was utilized on plasma-treated glass substrate to provide adequate adhesion for the NFC-glycerol (NFC-G) film. The effects of annealing te...

In this study, the production of particulate films of iodine (V) oxides is investigated. The influence that sonication and solvation of suspended particles in various alcohol/ketone/ester solvents have on the physical structure of spin or drop cast films is examined in detail with electron microscopy, powder x-ray diffraction, and UV-visible absorption spectroscopy. Results indicate that sonica...
