Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) bonding has been investigated as an innovative method for enhancing behavior of thin steel plates subjected to in-plane shear.
A large body of physiological evidence shows that dopamine originating from the SN/VTA not only regulates motivational aspects of behavior but is critical for enhancing and stabilizing hippocampal plasticity [Frey and Morris, 1998; Li, et al. 2003] and hippocampus-dependent memory consolidation [O'Carroll, et al. 2006].
It can be concluded that appropriate secondary mesoporous system in IM-5 zeolite is favorable for enhancing catalytic behavior of the catalyst in the non-oxidative aromatization of methane.
These results suggest that porous NSF scaffolds treated with microwave-induced plasma may be effective for enhancing the cellular behaviors and chondrogenic differentiation of chondrocytes and further be potentially used to cartilage tissue engineering.
To obtain a high conversion rate of solar energy to electrical energy, we loaded Au nanoparticles (NPs) and PbS quantum dots (QDs) on as-prepared TiO2 nanotubes (TNT) and black TiO2 nanotubes by magnetron sputter technique and subsequently dip coating for enhancing their photoelectric behaviors.
A recent critical review of the accuracy of self-reported health behaviors, including mammography, provides further suggestions for enhancing the accuracy of such data [ 45].
For enhancing the coalescing behavior, the liquid phase was 1% (w/w) solution of carboxy methyl cellulose.
As reported in Refs. [8, 34], the weaker crystallinity plays a critical role for enhancing the electrochemical behavior in supercapacitor applications.
Friction stir processing is one of the most efficient techniques for microstructure refinement and has a potential for enhancing the deformation behavior of metallic materials at elevated temperature.
The heavy metals oxides or other oxides with empty d orbital, such PbO, Bi2O3, and Nb2O5, have been incorporated for enhancing the optical behavior of tellurite glasses, which have application in all-optical switching, optical limiters, IR domes, laser windows, and other optical devices [1 6].
