A palladium nanocatalyst Fe3O4@CS-SB-Pd has been synthesized and characterized by FT-IR, XRD, XPS, FESEM, EDX, TEM, TGA, and ICP-AES analysis. The nanocatalyst has been found to be an efficient and magnetically separable ...

We generate the non-separable state of polarization and orbital angular momentum using a laser beam. The generated state undergoes a cyclic polarization evolution which introduces a Pancharatnam geometric phase to the ...

The advent of cheap massively parallel computer architectures in accelerators such as GPUs provides platforms for fast high fidelity computational modelling and motivates modifications to existing softwares to take advantage ...

This paper explores the possibility of a new parametric representation of auto-spectral density (ASD) that enables extraction of several meaningful insights. Recorded translational ground motions are considered first and ...

In this paper, we study the conflict-free coloring of graphs induced by neighborhoods. A coloring of a graph is conflict-free if every vertex has a uniquely colored vertex in its neighborhood. The conflict-free coloring ...

Consider a graph G=(V,E) and a coloring c of vertices with colors from [ℓ]. A vertex v is said to be happy with respect to c if c(v)=c(u) for all neighbors u of v. Further, an edge (u,v) is happy if c(u)=c(v). Given a ...

Natural circulation boiling systems consisting of parallel channels can undergo different types of oscillations (in-phase or out-of-phase) depending on the geometric parameters and operating conditions. The coupling between ...
