A New Way of the Skeletal Metals Synthesis

1 Results Strongly disordered metals with the high chemical and catalytic activity are often called as skeletal metals.Usually for their preparation the metallides of d-metal (which afterwards will be left in the “skeleton“) and chemically active component(s) are firstly synthesized.Then the last one(s) is (are) removed by the leaching with aqueous solutions of alkalis or carbonates.However,this method sometime fails,first of all,for the reactions,which should be realized in non-aqueous conditions.In th...     

Superhydrophobicity on Micro-and Nanostructured Polyolefin Surfaces:an Experimental and Theoretical Study

1 Results Simultaneous micro-and nanostructuring was prepared on polyolefin surfaces by injection molding.The molds were made of electropolished aluminum foil where the micropatterns were structured with a custom made robot.Nanopatterns were subsequently created on the molds by oxidizing the aluminum surface electrochemically in polyprotic acid.The preparation technique allowed simultaneous control of the dimensions of the micro-and nanostructures.Structuring has a remarkable effect on the contact angle...     

ROLE OF α-PSEUDO-UNIVEX FUNCTIONS IN VECTOR VARIATIONAL-LIKE INEQUALITY PROBLEMS

In this paper, we introduce a new class of generalized convex function, namely, a-pseudounivex function, by combining the concepts of pseudo-univex and α-invex functions. Further, we establish some relationships between vector variational-like inequality problems and vector optimization problems under the assumptions of α-pseudo-univex functions. Results obtained in this paper present a refinement and improvement of previously known results.     

Sister chromatid exchanges in lymphocytes of normal and alcoholic subjects.

The effects of alcohol consumption, cigarette smoking and age on sister chromatid exchange (SCE) frequency in human lymphocytes were assessed by means of multiple linear regression. An increase in SCE rates was associated with alcohol consumption (p = 0.0001), smoking (p = 0.0231), and, to a small extent (p = 0.057), age. These three confounding factors explain 48% of the inter-personal variation in SCE rates among subjects studied.     

Channel Mismatching in Sidelobe Canceler: Limitations and Remedies

After a brief recall of the Sidelobe Canceler (SLC) working principle, including the derivation of a general formula for the Cancellation Ratio (CR), the effects of channel mismatching are investigated. In particular, curves providing CRvalues as a function of amplitude and phase channel mismatching, radar bandwidth, and jammer direction of arrival (JDOA) are provided for the cases of one and two auxiliary antennas. Subsequently, a time -space processor for performance restoration is analyzed in detail. In addition to the above mentioned quantities, the attainable CR value is expressed as a function of the space-time processor parameters. The contribution of the paper is related to the derivation of a number of mathematical equations of CR for several cases of practical interest for the radar engineer. In addition, several curves are presented to assist design of SLC systems.
