Here we illustrate the free search for the optimal geometry of flow channel cross-sections that meet two objectives simultaneously: reduced resistances to heat transfer and fluid flow. The element cross section and the wall material are fixed, while the shape of the fluid flow opening, or the wetted perimeter is free to vary. Two element cross sections are considered, square and equilateral tri...

Triangular latt ice Electromagnetic Band-Gap (EBG) St ructure in the ground plane is used in the design of a Triangular Microstrip Patch Antenna (TMPA) Array to improve its bandwidth. The patch elements are equilateral t riangular in shape. The Equilateral Triangular Microstrip Patch Antenna (ETMPA) Array design has four patch elements in 2×2 form with ground plane having circular cutouts formi...

In Korea, lateral canthoplasty, along with medial epicanthoplasty, has become popular over the past years to widen the horizontal length of the palpebral fissure. However, the effect of the surgery differs greatly depending on the shape and structure of the eyes. If over-widened, complications such as eversion, scarring, and conjunctival exposure may occur. Thus, the author of this study sugges...

Triangular surfaces are important because in areas where the geometry is not similar to rectangular domain, the rectangular surface patch will collapse into a triangular patch. In such a case, one boundary edge may collapse into a boundary vertex of the patch, giving rise to geometric dissimilarities (e.g. shape parameters, Gaussian curvature distribution, cross boundary continuities etc.) and ...

The construction of dimethylenebis(eicosyldimethylammonium bromide) surfactant-directed gold nanoparticles (NPs) has been accomplished via a one-pot thermal reduction of HAuCl4 with trisodium citrate. The effect of cationic twin-tail surfactants, dimethylenebis(hexadecyldimethylammonium bromide) (16-2-16), dimethylenebis(octadecyldimethylammonium bromide) (18-2-18) and dimethylenebis(eicosyldim...
