SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF PLASMONIC-MAGNETIC Au-Co MULTILAYERED NANORODS
(2016-05-31)
Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) and superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs), in various forms, are considered as biocompatible and are of great interest for diagnostic imaging and therapeutic applications. Biomedical ...
SILVER DENDRITE BASED THREE-DIMENSIONAL SURFACE ENHANCED RAMAN SCATTERING (SERS) SUBSTRATES
(2016-06-01)
Three-dimensional (3D) hierarchical nanostructures have been considered as one of the most promising surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) substrates because it provides high-density hotspots along the three-dimension ...
Reproductive Numbers for Periodic Epidemic Systems
(2016-08-09)
When using mathematics to study epidemics, often times the goal is to deter- mine when an infection can invade and persist within a population. This can be done in a variety of ways but the most common is to use threshold ...
GOLD-NANOPARTICLE-BASED THERANOSTIC AGENTS FOR RADIOTHERAPY OF MALIGNANT SOLID TUMORS
(2016-09-15)
Radiation therapy is one of the three major methods of cancer treatment. The fundamental goal of radiotherapy is to deliver high radiation doses to targets while simultaneously minimizing doses to critical structures and ...
MECHANISM OF WEAR AND TRIBOFILM FORMATION WITH IONIC LIQUIDS AND ASHLESS ANTIWEAR ADDITIVES
(2016-07-26)
Increasingly stringent government regulation on emissions (EPA Emissions Standard Reference Guide and latest CAFE standards requiring an average fuel economy of 54.5 mpg (combined cars and trucks) by 2025) impose significant ...
THE CHARACTERIZATION OF SECONDARY LITHIUM-ION BATTERY DEGRADATION WHEN OPERATING COMPLEX, ULTRA-HIGH POWER PULSED LOADS
(2016-09-12)
The US Navy is actively developing all electric fleets, raising serious questions about what is required of onboard power supplies in order to properly power the ship’s electrical systems. This is especially relevant when ...
Study of an all-Vanadium Photoelectrochemical Cell for High-Efficiency Solar Energy Storage
(2016-07-27)
In an attempt to explore a clean and renewable alternative to existing energy sources such as fossil fuel, we studied the feasibility of using vanadium redox species to store the inexhaustible solar energy via photoelectrochemical ...
OSTEOGENIC DIFFERENTIATION IN PREOSTEOBLAST MC3T3-E1 CELLS INDUCED BY BETA TRICALCIUM PHOSPHATE BIOGLASS COMPOSITE
(2016-08-12)
The use of bioactive material from bioceramic and composite components to support bone cell and tissue growth is an interesting area of medical field. Calcium phosphate ceramics are biocompatible and may develop interactions ...
Microstructure and properties of hard and optically transparent HfO2 films prepared by high-rate reactive high-power impulse magnetron sputtering
(2016-05-13)
Hafnium Dioxide (HfO2) has an extraordinary high bulk modulus, high hardness, high chemical stability, high melting point and high thermal stability. This material can be used as protective coatings for application involving ...
A NOVEL APPROACH FOR FABRICATION OF SINGLE SILICON/SILICON OXIDE NANOPILLARS AT PRECISE LOCATIONS
(2016-12-15)
Nanopillars exhibit novel electrical and optical properties which could not be obtained from bulk materials. Many of their practical applications would require controlled placement of nanopillars at exact locations. However, ...
