Inorganic nanoparticles–driven self–assembly of natural small molecules in water for constructing multifunctional nanocapsules against plant diseases by Liu, Li-Wei, Ding, Zheng-Hao, Ren, Gang-Gang, Wang, Guang-Di, Pan, Xin, Wei, Guo-Hai, Zhou, Xiang, Wu, Zhi-Bing, Jin, Zhi-Chao, Chi, Robin Yonggui, Yang, Song

“…The nanocapsules effectively kill plant–pathogenic bacteria via tight binding to the bacterial surface, inducing reactive oxygen species accumulation and disrupting bacterial cell walls. ZnO@Cur@PDA display strong activities against rice bacterial blight with protective activity of 64.0 % and curative activity of 62.2%, which is much better than commercial drugs bismerthiazol (protective activity of 33.0 % and curative activity of 38.4%) and zinc thiazole(protective activity of 38.6 % and curative activity of 31.8%). …”

Inclusions in calcite phantom crystals suggest role of clay minerals in dolomite formation by Farsang, Stefan, Pekker, Péter, Lampronti, Giulio I., Molnár, Zsombor, Milovský, Rastislav, Pósfai, Mihály, Ozdín, Daniel, Raub, Timothy D., Redfern, Simon Anthony Turner

“…Whereas the outer, colorless part of the phantom crystal is relatively homogeneous and cavity and inclusion-free, the inner terracotta-colored part contains abundant cavities, dolomite, hematite, goethite, titanite, phyllosilicates (mainly kaolinite and illite), and apatite inclusions and nanostructures that have formed on the walls of cavities. The nanostructures comprise hematite and goethite particles sandwiched between either two phyllosilicate crystals or a phyllosilicate and a carbonate (calcite or dolomite) crystal. …”

Wireless channel modeling and spectrum monitoring for interference mitigation and link reliability insurance for existing and future CBTC systems by Kalyankar Shravan Kumar

“…This study suggests the existence of two wave propagation mechanisms in the curved tunnel; enhanced waveguiding mechanism induced by rich multipath components from the curved tunnels and degraded waveguiding mechanism due to the blockage from the curved tunnel walls. For efficient radio planning, a new propagation model with a curvature-dependent breakpoint is proposed. …”

Multi-scale and multiphase modeling of abrasive flow machining process with experimental validation by Mohamed Adel Abdelhakem Amen

“…The AFM tool is a flexible mixture between abrasive particles and high viscoelastic material while the abrasion action happens upon extruding this mixture through the channel walls. The flexibility and nature of the AFM tool introduce considerable complexity to evaluate the abrasion action, its material removal (MR), the particle forces, and the detailed rules controlling this particle-surface interaction. …”
