Manipulation of light beam propagation in one-dimensional photonic lattices with linear refractive index profile
(Optics Communications, 2015)
We use Bloch oscillations to demonstrate potential light beam propagation control in photonic lattices with linear refractive index change in transverse direction. It is qualitatively investigated how composite photonic ...
Pyrolysis of pine and beech wood under isothermal conditions: the conventional kinetic approach
(Research on Chemical Intermediates, 2015)
Pyrolysis of pine and beech wood was investigated by isothermal thermogravimetry at five different temperatures (280, 290, 300, 310, and 320 A degrees C) in an atmosphere of flowing nitrogen. It was found that isothermal ...
Fructose-Rich Diet-Induced Changes in the Expression of the Renin Angiotensin System Molecules in the Heart of Ovariectomized Female Rats Could be Reversed by Estradiol
(Hormone and Metabolic Research, 2015)
The renin-angiotensin system has been implicated in the development of metabolic syndrome and appears to be a key in the local tissue control of normal cardiac functions. Physiological concentrations of estrogens have been ...
Natural Diatomite (Rudovci, Serbia) as Adsorbent for Removal Cs from Radioactive Waste Liquids
(Science of Sintering, 2015)
The removal of Cs (I) ions from aqueous solution was studied using natural diatomite as adsorption materials originated from Rudovci, Serbia. The microstructure of natural diatomite has been characterized by X-ray diffraction ...
Differential regulation of catecholamine synthesis and transport in rat adrenal medulla by fluoxetine treatment
(Anais de Academia Brasileira de Ciencias, 2015)
We have recently shown that chronic fluoxetine treatment acted significantly increasing plasma norepinephrine and epinephrine concentrations both in control and chronically stressed adult male rats. However, possible effects ...
Aerosol-assisted processing of hierarchically organised TiO2 nanoparticles
(International Journal of Materials and Product Technology, 2015)
Hierarchically assembled TiO2 nanoparticles into larger spherical ones were obtained using aerosol-assisted processing method. Unagglomerated particles with the mean size of 440 nm were obtained from colloidal solution of ...
Density functional theory guide to structure and thermodynamics of metal hydrides - Case study of (Ti, Zr, Hf)Ni intermetallic compounds
(International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, 2015)
Thermodynamics of hydride formation is one of the key properties of metal-hydrogen system and determines its applicability. Therefore, numerous researches are focused on the use of first-principles calculations as the ...
Ab initio studies of the structural, elastic, electronic and thermal properties of NiTi2 intermetallic
(Journal of Physics and Chemistry of Solids, 2015)
First principles calculations were performed in the framework of the density functional theory (DFF) using the Full Potential-Linear Augment Plane Wave method (FP-LAPW) within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) ...
Structured microparticles with tailored properties produced by membrane emulsification
(Advances in Colloid and Interface Science, 2015)
This paper provides an overview of membrane emulsification routes for fabrication of structured microparticles with tailored properties for specific applications. Direct (bottom-up) and premix (top-down) membrane emulsification ...
Mechanochemical treatment and structural properties of lead adsorption on kaolinite (Rudovci, Serbia)
(Environmental Earth Sciences, 2015)
In the present work, remediation of lead-containing solution using raw and modified kaolinite has been presented. The micro and nanostructure of samples has been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron ...
