The nonlinear static buckling analysis of magneto-electro-elastic sandwich plate on Pasternak-type elastic foundations subjected to the mechanical, thermal, electric and magnetic loadings is presented in this paper. The sandwich plate is composed of an auxetic honeycomb core with negative Poisson’s ratio and two face sheets made of magneto-electro-elastic material. The system basic equations are derived based on the Reddy’s higher order shear deformation plate theory taking into account the effect of von Kármán the kinematic nonlinearity and initial imperfection. The form of possible solutions and electric, magnetic potentials are chosen as trigonometric functions based on two cases of boundary conditions. The relationship between axial compressive loading and dimensionless deflect... |
Transparent electrodes (TEs) are pivotal components in many modern devices such as solar cells, light-emitting diodes, touch screens, wearable electronic devices, smart windows, and transparent heaters. Recently, the high demand for flexibility and low cost in TEs requires a new class of transparent conductive materials (TCMs), serving as substitutes for the conventional indium tin oxide (ITO). So far, ITO has been the most used TCM despite its brittleness and high cost. Among the different emerging alternative materials to ITO, metallic nanomaterials have received much interest due to their remarkable optical-electrical properties, low cost, ease of manufacturing, flexibility, and widespread applicability. These involve metal grids, thin oxide/metal/oxide multilayers, metal nanowir... |
A theoretical approach to quantitatively determine the photothermally driven enhancement of molecular mobility of graphene-indomethacin mixtures under infrared laser irradiation is proposed. Graphene plasmons absorb incident electromagnetic energy and dissipate them into heat. The absorbed energy depends on optical properties of graphene plasmons, which are sensitive to structural parameters, and concentration of plasmonic nanostructures. By using theoretical modelling, temperature gradients of the bulk drug with different concentrations of graphene plasmons are calculated. From these, the temperature dependence of structural molecular relaxation and diffusion of indomethacin are determined and how the heating process significantly enhances the drug mobility is found out. |
In our search for novel small molecules activating procaspase-3, we have designed and synthesized two series of novel (E)-N'-arylidene-2-(2-oxoindolin-1-yl)acetohydrazides (4) and (Z)-2-(5-substituted-2-oxoindolin-1-yl)-N'-(2-oxoindolin-3-ylidene)acetohydrazides (5). Cytotoxic evaluation revealed that the compounds showed notable cytotoxicity toward three human cancer cell lines: colon cancer SW620, prostate cancer PC-3, and lung cancer NCI-H23. Especially, six compounds, including 4f–h and 4n–p, exhibited cytotoxicity equal or superior to positive control PAC-1, the first procaspase-3 activating compound. The most potent compound 4o was three- to five-fold more cytotoxic than PAC-1 in three cancer cell lines tested. Analysis of compounds effects on cell cycle and apoptosis demonstr... |
Vaccine hesitancy is a major threat to COVID-19 vaccination programs. This study aimed to examine the public attitudes towards COVID-19 vaccines, the variance of these attitudes, and associated determinants within a large COVID-19 outbreak in Vietnam |
One-dimensional hybrid nanostructures composed of a plasmonic gold nanowire core covered by a shell of magnetic oxide nanoparticles (Au@FexOy NWs) were synthesized by a one-pot solvothermal synthesis process. The effects of reaction temperature, time, reducing agent, and precursor as well as postsynthesis treatment were optimized to produce highly uniform NWs with a diameter of 226 ± 25 nm and a plasmonic core aspect ratio of 25 to 82. By exploiting the interaction of NWs with an external magnetic field, precise arrangements into highly periodic photonic structures were achieved, which can generate distinctive structural colors that are vividly iridescent and polarization-sensitive. Furthermore, a Bouligand-type chiral nematic film consisting of multistacked unidirectional layers of... |
It is well-known that the amount of glucose in the blood that exceeds the normal sugar blood range can cause diabetes, which is one of the most dangerous diseases that thread human health. Amongst a lot of methods that have been developed to measure glucose levels, electrochemical glucose sensors have attracted more attention due to their accuracy and efficiency. In our work, a simple, instant, and economical chemical process was conducted to deposit NiO nanostructures on the surface of a nickel foam electrode for non-enzymatic glucose electrochemical sensor. The morphologies and components of synthesised materials were characterised by field emission scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry were used to measure ... |
Distichochlamys citrea is an endemic plant species found only in Vietnam, known by folk medicine as a natural antibiotic source. Experimental evidences and computational validation on bioactivity of Distichochlamys citrea M.F. Newman rhizome n-hexane extract against Streptococcus pyogenes were carried out. Experiments found twenty-one bioactive components in the n-hexane extract, which altogether exhibits an overall antibiotic activity of significance against the bacterium; Computations suggested a mechanism based on inhibition of S-ribosylhomocysteine lyase structure. Its biocompatibility and pharmacology were also predicted. |
This paper introduces a new database of financial crises, providing an important insight into the causes, duration, and consequences of different types of financial crises. Besides extending the systemic banking crises database by Laeven and Valencia (2020) to the period 1970–2019, we develop new approaches for the identification of currency and sovereign debt crises, which we regard as preferable in some respects to those in the literature. Covering 206 countries, our crises database draws on 151 systemic banking crises (1970–2019), 414 currency crises (1950–2019), 200 sovereign debt crises (1960–2019), 75 twin crises (1970–2019), and 21 triple crises (1970–2019). We provide evidence that banking and debt crises tend to coincide or precede currency crises, while debt crises and ban... |
Air pollution has become one of the environmental concerns in recent years due to its harmful threats to human health. To inform people about the air quality in their living areas, it is essential to measure the extent of pollution in the atmosphere. Air pollution sensors are assembled at static, fixed-site measurement monitoring stations to acquire data. The data can be processed at the fixed stations or transmitted to the server to predict the Air Quality Index (AQI). Some previous studies applied machine learning algorithms to predict the AQI. Even though those works showed good performance on specific data, the results are not consistent on different datasets |
