Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleImproved 3D Imaging Performance of AFMMd Sohel RanaOver the last three decades the Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) has played an important role in the field of nanotechnology for imaging and manipulating samples. However, the acquisition of a high-quality imaging performance by an AFM is significantly influenced by its key scanning element called its Piezoelectric Tube Actuator (PTA). In this article, to improve its performance, a multi-input multi-output … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 28 Jan 2020 · 7,299 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsInvestigation of Nano Structural Changes by Annealing Temperature and Uniform Oxygen Flow on Ti LayersHaleh Kangarlou, Saeid RafizadehProblem statement: Ti films of the same thickness, deposition angle (near normal) and deposition rate were deposited on glass substrates at room temperature under UHV conditions. Approach: Different annealing temperatures 423 K, 523 K and 623 K with uniform 7 cm3 sec-1, oxygen flow, were used to produce titanium oxide layers. Results: Thin film structures were studied using AFM, XRD … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 8 · 18 Jul 2011 · 7,383 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSurface Properties of Cell-treated Polyethylene TerephthalateBing Shi, Hong Liang, Thomas B. Kuhn, Lawrence K. DuffyThe materials used in artificial joints undergo degradation through fatigue and corrosive wear in human body. The lifetime for well-designed artificial joints like hip joints is at most 12 years and a patient will usually have two total joint replacements during his/her lifetime. Tissue engineering, an alternative to total joint implantation, is the replacement of damaged tissue with the tissue … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,706 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsActive Fire Monitoring with Level 1.5 MSG Satellite ImagesAbdelatif Hassini, Farid Benabdelouahed, Noureddine Benabadji, Ahmed Hafid BelbachirThe first of the new generation of Meteosat satellites, known as Meteosat Second Generation (MSG-1), was launched in August 2002. As with the current Meteosat series, MSG is spin-stabilized and capable of greatly enhanced Earth observations. The satellite’s 12-channel imager, known formally as the Spinning Enhanced Visible and Infrared Imager (SEVIRI), observes the full disk of the Earth with an … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2009 · 8,132 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsGraphene Synthesis by Plasma-Enhanced CVD Growth with EthanolTeresa Campo, María Cotto, Francisco Márquez et al.A modified route to synthesize graphene flakes is proposed using the Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) technique, by using copper substrates as supports. The carbon source used was ethanol, the synthesis temperature was 950°C and the pressure was controlled along the whole process. In this CVD synthesis process the incorporation of the carbon source was produced at low pressure and 950°C … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 27 Jul 2016 · 9,156 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsLANGMUIR-BLODGETT NANOTEMPLATE CRYSTALLIZATION COMBINED TO LASER-MICROFRAGMENTATION UNIQUELY CHARACTERIZE PROTEINS CRYSTALS BY SYNCHROTRON MICRODIFFRACTIONClaudio Nicolini, Luca Belmonte, Christian Riekel et al.Laser-induced microfragmentation of LB nanotemplate-induced protein crystals in glycerol solution results in distinct, coherently diffracting domains. Only crystals produced according to the Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) nanotemplate technique reveal in all four proteins being tested (lysozyme, insulin, thaumatin and ribonuclease) domains highly radiation resistant, while the crystals produced by the standard hanging drop crystallization method do not. Actually the very same laser … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 11 Feb 2014 · 7,989 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReprocess of Copper from Worn Printed Circuit BoardsSwarnambiga A.K., M. Vidya Kalaivani, Sarah Sathyawathi, T.S. Ramyaa LakshmiThe objective of the study is to reuse printed circuit boards which are mainly made of copper. Most top down and bottom up approaches for the synthesis of Copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) needs pure copper (II) sulfate or any other copper salts as a raw material. For the expensive non-ecofriendly reasons, here we used wasted Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) as an … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 12 Feb 2019 · 7,486 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSynthesis of Graphene on Conducting Substrate by Electrochemical Deposition MethodMazin Ahmed Ali Moghazi, Sondos Al Shareef, H.Y. Wong, Mukter ZamanInvestigation to optimize the synthesis process of graphene on conducting substrate is essential for many applications. In this investigation suitable approach to extract graphene thin film on a conductive ITO substrate is optimized. This optimization is carried out by electrochemical Reduction of Graphene Oxide (RGO) solution utilizing a repetitive cyclic potential against reference electrode. To do this, Silver chloride reference … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 21 Feb 2017 · 9,584 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDeposition and Characterization of CdS Nano Thin Film with Complexing Agent TriethanolamineK. Manikandan, C. Surendra Dilip, P. Mani, J. Joseph PrinceThe equimolar concentration thin films of Cadmium Sulfide (CdxSx) with the complexing agent TEA were deposited on a glass substrate by the SILAR technique. The crystalline nature with face centered cubic crystal system of the CdS films is determined from X-ray diffraction analysis. The broadened diffraction peaks indicated nano sized particles of the film materials. The surface morphology of the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 1 Jun 2015 · 8,426 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPE IMAGING OF AMYLOID FIBRILSEisuke Takai, Gai Ohashi, Ryuichi Ueki et al.This study demonstrated the applicability of Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) for the observation of amyloid fibrils without staining. As model specimens, two types of amyloid fibrils with different shapes and chemical compositions were controllably synthesized from hen lysozyme.
