The thermal motion of graphene atoms was investigated using angular distributions of transmitted protons. The static proton-graphene interaction potential was constructed applying the Doyle-Turner's expression for the ...

Transient ischemic attack (TIA) represents brief neurological dysfunction of vascular origin without detectable infarction. Despite major clinical relevance characterization of post-TIA molecular changes using appropriate ...

The transmission of low-energy electrons through a macroscopic steel capillary has been investigated both experimentally and theoretically. The length of the steel capillary was L = 19.5 mm and the inner diameter was d = ...

BACKGROUNDSeashell waste (SW) is rich in biogenic calcium carbonate and potentially can substitute geological sources in various applications, such as the separation of heavy metals and radionuclides from contaminated ...

Thanks to the Cassini-Huygens mission, it is now established that the first aerosols in Titan's upper atmosphere are found from an altitude of similar to 1200 km. Once they are formed and through their descent toward the ...

Accurate automated detection of premature ventricular contractions from electrocardiogram requires a training set or expert intervention. We propose a fully automated unsupervised detection method. The algorithm first ...

Interventional cardiac procedures may be associated with high patient doses and therefore require special attention to protect the patients from radiation injuries such as skin erythema, cardiovascular tissue reactions or ...

In this work we investigated the influence of different deposition angles on the structural and magnetic properties of nickel thin films obtained by Glancing Angle Deposition. The films were deposited onto glass substrates ...

Nanosized Ag-doped ceria (Ce1-xAlxO2-δ)powders (0.1 ≤ x ≤ 0.04) were obtained by self-propagating room temperature reaction. The solid solubility of Ag into ceria lattice was the highest reported so far. X-ray diffraction ...

Carbon quantum dots and their incorporation in various polymer matrices are reviewed. In general, the importance of such polymer nanocomposites in biomedical applications is highlighted. In particular, the physical and ...
