Abdulrahman Sumayli, University of Najran, Saudi Arabia
Aluminum based alloys are finding applications various fields like aeronautical, automobile, marine and chemical industries. Many of the Aluminum based alloys are subjected to heat treatments after the casting in order to enhance their mechanical properties by means of grain boun [....] » Read More
Title : GW density matrix calculations in solids, with a special interest in getting correlated total energies and lattice constants
Adam Hassan Denawi, CEA, France
The GW approximation is well known for the calculation of high-quality ionization potentials and electron affinities in solids and molecules. Recently, it has been recognized that the density matrix obtained from the contraction of the GW Green’s function allows the inclusi [....] » Read More
Title : Jelly fig polysaccharide based biocompatible hydrogel loaded with lauric acid for wound tissue regeneration: An in vitro study
Thangavel Ponrasu, Indian Institute of Technology Madras, India
Tissue regeneration is an essential process to maintain, restore a normal anatomical structure and function of the skin. Natural biopolymer-based polymeric hydrogels are capable of absorbing a large quantity of water to maintain the moisture environment at the wound site. The emi [....] » Read More
Title : Robust, self-healable and bioadhesive hydrogel for cartilage regeneration
Shivani Chaudhary, Indian Institute of Technology, India
Injury to tissue like articular cartilage or meniscus, has poor self-healing capacity due to limited nutrient supply and lacking circulating stem cells, resulting in degeneration of the cartilage, leading to Osteoarthritis (OA). In recent years, the burden of osteoarthritis in [....] » Read More
Title : Effective pi-field in low dimensionalMaterials: The role of electron-phonon coupling
Geraldo Magela e Silva, University of Brasilia, Brazil
Modeling dynamical processes of quasiparticles in low dimensional - conjugated systems is challenging due to electron-phonon coupling. We show that this interaction leads to linear potential energy terms in the lattice Lagrangian similar to a local “gravitational” fie [....] » Read More
Title : Compressive strength and deformability of masonry made ceramic blocks
Omar, Novosibirsk State University of Architecture, Russian Federation
The work is devoted to an experimental study of the effect of reinforcement on the strength and stiffness characteristics of masonry made of ceramic blocks. Laboratory tests were carried out on masonry reinforced with metal and fiberglass reinforcement mesh. Experimental data on [....] » Read More
Title : Transformation of plastic into the liquid fuel
Kartik Upadhyay, PKG Group of Institution, India
Globally, over 380 million metric tons plastics are produced in a year and the bins are also overflowed because of used plastics. Presently, there are many technologies which recycle the plastic waste to support in controlling pollutions. They give the various drawbacks and after [....] » Read More
