Agcore-Aushell bimetallic nanocomposites: Gold shell thickness dependent...
This study reports the synthesized core-shell bimetallic nanocomposites of silver and gold, respectively by varying the thickness of Au shell and studying its role in enhancing the Raman scattering of...
View ArticleActivation and control of visible single defects in 4H-, 6H-, and 3C-SiC by...
In this work, we present the creation and characterisation of single photon emitters at the surface of 4H-and 6H-SiC, and of 3C-SiC epitaxially grown on silicon. These emitters can be created by...
View ArticleAssessment of solar radiation reduction from urban forests on buildings along...
Urban forests play a critical role in mitigating heat island effects and in modifying local microclimates by intercepting solar radiation and shading heat-absorbing structural materials. Solar...
View ArticleElectrical and structural properties of In-implanted Si1-xGex alloys
We report on the effects of dopant concentration and substrate stoichiometry on the electrical and structural properties of In-implanted Si1-xGex alloys. Correlating the fraction of electrically active...
View ArticleGenome sequence of an Australian kangaroo, Macropus eugenii, provides insight...
Background: We present the genome sequence of the tammar wallaby, Macropus eugenii, which is a member of the kangaroo family and the first representative of the iconic hopping mammals that symbolize...
View ArticleGenome sequencing and analysis of the Tasmanian devil and its transmissible...
The Tasmanian devil (Sarcophilus harrisii), the largest marsupial carnivore, is endangered due to a transmissible facial cancer spread by direct transfer of living cancer cells through biting. Here we...
View ArticleManipulation of carbon nanotube magnetism with metal-rich iron nanoparticles
Metallic Fe nanoparticles (NPs) were electrodeposited onto ozone functionalized carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to produce ferromagnetic carbon nanomaterials. Chemical and structural characterisation of these...
View ArticleBackward bifurcation in epidemic models: Problems arising with aggregated...
This study addresses problems that have arisen in the literature when calculating backward bifurcations, especially in the context of epidemic modeling. Backward bifurcations are generally studied by...
View ArticleAcoustically enhanced heat transport
We investigate the enhancement of heat transfer in the nucleate boiling regime by inducing high frequency acoustic waves (f similar to 106 Hz) on the heated surface. In the experiments, liquid droplets...
View ArticleEffects of quench rate and natural ageing on the age hardening behaviour of...
Quench sensitivity in Al-Mg-Si alloys has been largely attributed to the solute loss at the heterogeneous nucleation sites, primarily dispersoids, during slow cooling after extrusion. As such, the...
View ArticleAssessment of biocompatibility of 3D printed photopolymers using zebrafish...
3D printing has emerged as a rapid and cost-efficient manufacturing technique to enable the fabrication of bespoke, complex prototypes. If the technology is to have a significant impact in biomedical...
View ArticleMass balance for a novel RO/FO hybrid system in seawater desalination
We report on the hardness response of vacuum heat treated (VHT) M35 HSS as a function of the thickness of oxide present during VHT. An almost linear relationship existed between the hardening response...
View ArticleA three-dimensional elastoplastic constitutive model for concrete
The nonlinear unified strength criterion proposed by authors in 2010 is adopted as the yield function and the plastic potential function for concrete. Four original material parameters of the nonlinear...
View ArticleHealing of venous ulcers using compression therapy: Predictions of a...
Venous Leg Ulceration (VLU) is a chronic condition for which healthcare systems worldwide face rising treatment costs. VLU can be due to sustained venous hypertension which causes the veins to become...
View ArticleWhither the accounting profession, accountants and accounting researchers?...
Purpose - This commentary reflects on possible disruptions for the accounting profession, accountants and academics in the next 25 years. The traditional and highly valued role of the accounting...
View ArticleLaccase-syringaldehyde-mediated degradation of trace organic contaminants in...
Redox-mediators such as syringaldehyde (SA) can improve laccase-catalyzed degradation of trace organic contaminants (TrOCs) but may increase effluent toxicity. The degradation performance of 14...

All rights reserved. Available inotropic pharmacotherapy for acute heart failure (HF) remains largely ineffective at ameliorating marked impairments in contractile function. Nitroxyl (HNO), the redox...
View ArticleCarbon evolution during vacuum heat treatment of High Speed Steel
We report on the hardness response of vacuum heat treated (VHT) M35 HSS as a function of the thickness of oxide present during VHT. An almost linear relationship existed between the hardening response...
