Finely dispersed sandwich composite nanoparticles of Cu–Ni–Cu were prepared by a novel method combining template synthesis and an ultrasonic treatment method. The composite nanoparticles have uniform cylinder shape with tunable diameter and length. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and electron diffraction (ED) were employed to characterize the nanoparticles. This method can be used to fab...

MOTIVATION Giving a meaningful representation of a pedigree is not obvious when it includes consanguinity loops, individuals with multiple mates or several related families. RESULTS We show that finding a perfectly meaningful representation of a pedigree is equivalent to the interval graph sandwich problem and we propose an algorithm for drawing pedigrees.

β-Lactamase residues in milk represent a public health risk. The cylinder plate detection method, which is based on bacterial growth, is laborious and time consuming. In this study, 15 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) were selected against Temoneira (TEM) 1 β-lactamase. A sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) based on an optimum mAb pair was developed and validated for the detection of...

The hybrid plasmonic waveguide consists of a high-permittivity dielectric nanofiber embedded in a low-permittivity dielectric near a metal surface. This architecture is considered as one of the most perspective candidates for long-range subwavelength guiding. We present qualitative analysis and numerical results which reveal advantages of the special waveguide design when dielectric constant of...

As a crucial component for temporary blocking of layer segments in the segmental fracturing process, bridge plugs are difficult to unseal by conventional methods and may cause major downhole accidents if not handled properly. In this paper, nanofluidic self-heating unsealing rubber cylinder is designed, which equipped with sandwich inside cylinder, consisting system an annular flexible heater. ...

The two Non-Destructive Evaluation [ NDE ] techniques viz., Air Coupled Ultrasonic [ACU ] and Pulsed Thermography [PT ] find many applications in aerospace industry . These NDE techniques can be used for debond detection in spacecraft structural components like honeycomb sandwich deck plates, shear web panels and central cylinder made of aluminum core and composite face sheets. The Air coupled ...

In a recent paper, we introduced the simultaneous representation problem (defined for any graph class C) and studied the problem for chordal, comparability and permutation graphs. For interval graphs, the problem is defined as follows. Two interval graphs G1 and G2, sharing some vertices I (and the corresponding induced edges), are said to be “simultaneous interval graphs” if there exist interv...
