A new approach to rapidly generate random periodic representative volume elements for microstructural assessment of high volume fraction composites
(Elsevier, 2018-07-15)An algorithm based on event-driven molecular dynamics theory was developed to rapidly generate periodic representative volume elements (RVEs) with nonuniform distributions for both unidirectional fibre-reinforced and ... -
New approaches to characterize polymeric oil additives in solution based on pyrene excimer fluorescence
(Wiley, 2017-01-01)Maleated polyolefins (MaPOs) such as maleated ethylene propylene copolymers or polyisobutylene terminated at one end with a succininic anhydride can be used as polymeric dispersants in engine oils after reaction with ... -
A new approximation of Fermi-Dirac integrals of order 1/2 for degenerate semiconductor devices
(Elsevier, 2018-06-01)There had been tremendous growth in the field of Integrated circuits (ICs) in the past fifty years. Scaling laws mandated both lateral and vertical dimensions to be reduced and a steady increase in doping densities. Most ... -
New composite sustainability indices for Cradle-to-Cradle process design: Case study on thinner recovery from waste paint in auto industries
(Elsevier, 2017-11-10)In a conventional chemical process design, the main focus is on the process economy resulting in the generation of huge amounts of waste materials within the process. Such design approach demands end-of-pipe treatment, ... -
New constraints on mid-Proterozoic ocean redox from stable thallium isotope systematics of black shales
(Elsevier, 2021-12-15)Stable thallium (Tl) isotope data from organic-rich siliciclastic sedimentary rocks have the potential to track ocean redox state on a broad scale. Here, we report new Tl isotope data from the Mesoproterozoic Velkerri ... -
A new crystal plasticity framework to simulate the large strain behaviour of aluminum alloys at warm temperatures
(Elsevier, 2018-06-06)To improve metal formability, high temperature forming has become a desired manufacturing process. Phenomenological plasticity models are widely used in this application, however lack good predictive capability concerning ... -
New exact series solutions for transverse vibration of rotationally-restrained orthotropic plates
(Elsevier, 2019-01-01)The exact series solutions of plates with general boundary conditions have been derived by using various methods such as Fourier series expansion, improved Fourier series method, improved superposition method and finite ... -
New Generation of Solid-Phase Microextraction Coatings for Complementary Separation Approaches: A Step toward Comprehensive Metabolomics and Multiresidue Analyses in Complex Matrices
(American Chemical Society, 2017-04-04)In this work, a new generation of solid-phase microextraction (SPME) coatings based on polytetrafluoro-ethylene amorphous fluoroplastics (PTFE AF 2400) as a particle binder is presented. The developed coating was tested ... -
New insight into the allosteric effect of L-tyrosine on mushroom tyrosinase during L-dopa production
(Elsevier, 2018-07-01)Kinetics studies of L-tyrosine (LTy) ortho-hydroxylation by mushroom tyrosinase (MT) confirmed that MT was severely, but not completely, inhibited at higher concentrations of LTy. Despite the availability of the crystal ... -
A New Na+-Dependent RNA-Cleaving DNAzyme with over 1000-fold Rate Acceleration by Ethanol
(Wiley, 2016-01-15)Enzymes working in organic solvents are important for analytical chemistry, catalysis, and mechanistic studies. Although a few protein enzymes are highly active in organic solvents, little is known regarding nucleic ... -
A new perspective on loss to follow-up in failure time and life history studies
(Wiley, 2019-07-24)A framework is proposed for the joint modeling of life history and loss to follow-up (LTF) processes in cohort studies. This framework provides a basis for discussing independence conditions for LTF and censoring and ... -
A New Portable Digital Meniscometer
(Wolters Kluwer, 2014-01)Purpose: The aims of this study were (i) to develop a new portable slit-lamp mounted digital meniscometer (PDM) and (ii) to test its accuracy and repeatability compared to the existing Yokoi et al. videomeniscometer ... -
New Techniques for Static Symmetry Breaking in Many-Sorted Finite Model Finding
(IEEE, 2023-06-01)Symmetry in finite model finding problems of many-sorted first-order logic (MSFOL) can be exploited to reduce the number of interpretations considered during search, thereby improving solver performance for tools such as ... -
Nine Challenges In Incorporating The Dynamics Of Behaviour In Infectious Diseases Models
(Elsevier, 2015-03-01)Traditionally, the spread of infectious diseases in human populations has been modelled with static parameters. These parameters, however, can change when individuals change their behaviour. If these changes are themselves ... -
Nishga Initiative and Missionary Response: Robert Doolan at Quinwoch, B.C.
(SAGE, 1981-07-01)In this historical study of the work of pioneer missionary Robert Doolan, Professor Patterson points out the initiative shown by the Nishga people of the northwest coast of British Columbia and how this interest helped ... -
Nitrogen-doped hollow porous carbon polyhedrons embedded with highly dispersed Pt nanoparticles as a highly efficient and stable hydrogen evolution electrocatalyst
(Elsevier, 2017-10-01)The hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is a promising alternative method of producing clean and renewable hydrogen resources. Although Pt-based nanomaterials are the most efficient catalysts for HER, their poor stability ... -
No, we can't just script it: and other refrains from (tired) archival data migrators
(2017-09-28)How are print finding aids migrated from binders in reading rooms to web-based descriptive platforms? And why is it taking so long? Paying special attention to format, description and discoverability challenges presented ... -
Noise refocusing in a five-blade neutron interferometer
(AIP Publishing, 2017-08-07)We provide a quantum information description of a proposed five-blade neutron interferometer geometry and show that it is robust against low-frequency mechanical vibrations and dephasing due to the dynamical phase. The ... -
