Few-cycle laser driven reaction nanoscopy on aerosolized silica nanoparticles
(Springer Nature, 2019)
Nanoparticles offer unique properties as photocatalysts with large surface areas. Under irradiation with light, the associated near-fields can induce, enhance, and control molecular adsorbate reactions on the nanoscale. ...
B − L violating interactions in supersymmetric SO(10) models
(IOP Science, 2019)
An analysis is given of B − L violating interactions in SO(10) arising from the integration of $10+\bar{10}$ of SU(5) of heavy Higgs. The analysis is done within the well defined missing partner model where the doublet-triplet ...
Can the Full Spectrum Fitting Technique correctly detect Age Spreads in Young Star Clusters?
(IOP Science, 2019)
Integrated spectra of star clusters have proven to be accurate tools for obtaining age, metallicity and reddening of extragalactic clusters for which resolved data is not available. In this work we investigate the possibility ...
Stage-discharge relationship in two-stage channels
(2019-07)
Predicting the stage-discharge relationship in a flood event is an important concern. Once the flow exceeds the bank level in a two-stage channel, there is a momentum transfer that occurs at the interface between the main ...
Constructing National Identity through the Lens of the Painted Panorama: The Bourbaki Panorama in Lucerne, Switzerland
(International Panorama Council, 2019)
Using the Bourbaki Panorama, which depicts the French General Charles-Denis Bourbaki’s army crossing Switzerland’s border near Les Verrières in 1871, this paper examines the notion of identity narrative in nation-building ...
Challenges of retrofitting affordable housing to net-zero carbon in the United Arab Emirates
(IOP Science, 2019)
Following the Paris Agreement, several governmental bodies in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) started working on further initiatives to improve the energy efficiency of buildings. Some of these hope to target net-zero carbon ...
Novel insights into the potential role of ion transport in sensory perception in Acanthamoeba
(Springer Nature, 2019)
Background: Acanthamoeba is well known to produce a blinding keratitis and serious brain infection known as encephalitis. Effective treatment is problematic, and can continue up to a year, and even then, recurrence can ...
Analysis of an Airfoil with Rotating Cylinder for Improved Performance
(2019-04)
Among the multiple techniques used for boundary-layer control and flow separation delay, moving surface boundary-layer control is one of the promising approaches. Adding a rotating cylinder is one means of enhancing the ...
Recent Advances in Femtosecond Laser-Induced Surface Structuring for Oil–Water Separation
(MDPI, 2019)
Femtosecond (FS) laser-induced surface structuring is a robust, maskless, non-contact, and single-step process for producing micro- and nanoscale structures on a material’s surface, which remarkably alters the optical, ...
Application of Quasi-Phase Matching Concept for Enhancement of High-Order Harmonics of Ultrashort Laser Pulses in Plasmas
(MDPI, 2019)
Novel methods of coherent short-wavelength sources generation require thorough analysis for their further amendments and practical implementations. In this work, we report on the quasi-phase matching (QPM) of high-order ...
