Enhanced Absorption with Graphene-Coated Silicon Carbide Nanowires for Mid-Infrared Nanophotonics

The mid-infrared (MIR) is an exciting spectral range that also hosts useful molecular vibrational fingerprints. There is a growing interest in nanophotonics operating in this spectral range, and recent advances in plasmonic research are aim...

Impacts of land-use changes and landholding fragmentation on crop water demand and drought in Wadi El-Farigh, New Delta project, Egypt

Despite Egypt’s limited water resources, more lands in the western desert of the Nile Delta are currently being reclaimed to increase the agricultural area to feed its fast-growing population and provide jobs for new generations. These recl...

Transient measurement of phononic states with covariance-based stochastic spectroscopy

Pt and CoB trilayer Josephson $$\pi $$ π junctions with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy

Abstract We report on the electrical transport properties of Nb based Josephson junctions with Pt/Co $$_{68}$$ 68 B $$_{32}$$ 32 /Pt ferromagnetic barriers. The barriers exhibit perpendicular magnetic anisotropy, which has the main advantag...

Natural Earth Pigments as Geological Polymineral Systems: A Structured Approach to Provenance and Degradation Assessment in Heritage Science

Natural earth pigments are polymineral materials whose present composition may differ from the source because of selection, grinding, heating, mixing, binder incorporation, and later alteration. This study develops a structured method for s...

A Preliminary Study on the Efficacy of Essential Oils Against <i>Trichoderma longibrachiatum</i> Isolated from an Archival Document in Italy

In this study, a historically significant journal subject to fungal colonization was used as a case study for experimenting with a fumigation treatment using essential oils. The experiments were carried out both in vitro and in vivo directl...

Research Progresses of Flash Evaporation in Aerospace Applications

Liquid is overheated and evaporated quickly when it enters into the environment with lower saturation pressure than that corresponding to its initial temperature. This phenomenon is known as the flash evaporation. A natural low-pressure env...

Application of Microwave Polarimetry to the Characterization of Fiber Misalignment in Composites

In this paper synthetic aperture radar (SAR) polarimetry techniques are applied to detect and characterize fiber misalignment in both carbon fiber sheets and glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites. The principle behind SAR polarim...

Lie similarity analysis of MHD Casson fluid flow with heat source and variable viscosity over a porous stretching sheet

The current study presents a novel examination of heat transfer properties in a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of Casson fluid across a porous stretching sheet, uniquely incorporating the effects of heat source and variable viscosity. Unlik...

Controlling Frost Propagation on Polymeric Surfaces Using SI‐ATRP Chemical Micropatterning

Abstract Micropatterned surfaces with both hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions are relevant for a wide range of applications from fuel cells to water harvesting systems. The preferential nucleation of water on hydrophilic regions can also b...

Evaluating key predictors of breast cancer through survival: a comparison of AFT frailty models with LASSO, ridge, and elastic net regularization

Abstract Background Frailty models are extensively utilized in survival analysis to address unobserved heterogeneity among individuals. However, selecting the most robust model for survival prediction, especially in the context of high-dime...

On Combined Maximal Precedence–Exceedance Test with Application to HIV Clinical Trials

This paper proposes a combined maximal precedence–exceedance test (MPErs) that integrates maximal precedence and maximal exceedance statistics tests to provide sensitivity to both early and late distributional differences between two sample...

Determination of Novel Estimations for the Slater Difference and Applications

The field of mathematical inequalities has exerted a profound influence across a multitude of scientific disciplines, making it a captivating and expansive domain ripe for research investigation. This article offers estimations for the Slat...

Novel fractional integral inequalities for GA-Cr-convex functions and connections with information systems

Due to applicability of mathematical inequalities in control systems, actuarial science, information theory and its utilization in other sciences, several researchers are inclined to prove their refinements and generalizations. In the study...

APPLICATION OF THE EQUIVALENCE PRINCIPLE TO THE CALCULATION OF EDUCATION INSURANCE PREMIUMS FOR VILLAGE-OWNED ENTERPRISES (BUMDes)

Program Education plays a vital role in improving human resources. But on the other hand, education costs are not cheap. For this reason, people need to prepare education funds from an early age. One way is to take part in an education insu...

Ranking of treatments in network meta-analysis: incorporating minimally important differences

Abstract Background In network meta-analysis (NMA), the magnitude of difference between treatment effects is typically ignored in the calculation of ranking metrics, such as probability best and surface under the cumulative ranking curve (S...
