Well-controlled, well-ordered and uniform Octadecylphosphonic acid (OPA) LB films on cleaved mica surfaces was formed, and their mechanical properties were characterized. A novel technology has been pioneered which utilizes a kinematic collision driven hydrogen abstraction using...
In the present paper the gas, liquid and solid phases made of structureless particles, are visited to the light of the quantum stochastic hydrodynamic analogy (SQHA). The SQHA shows that the quantum behavior is maintained on a distance shorter than the theory-defined quantum corr...
Aims: The aim sought is to design a wind energy system can meet the energy needs of a rural household in minimizing both the economic cost and the energy cost of the system over its life cycle while ensuring continuity in the provision of electrical energy. Study Design: Design o...
