Synthesis and Characterization of a Gel-Type Electrolyte with Ionic Liquid Added for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells

This study intends to develop the electrolyte needed in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Moreover, three different ionic liquids in different molalities are added to the gel-type electrolyte. Experimental results show that the DSSC compo...

Comparative investigation of similar and dissimilar AA6061/AA7075, AA6061/AA2024, and AA6061/AA5083 joints produced by continuous-drive friction welding

This study considers continuous-drive friction welding to compare AA6061/AA6061, AA6061/AA7075, AA6061/AA2024, and AA6061/AA5083 joints produced under the same nominal processing conditions. Optical and scanning electron microscopy, EDS, XR...

Research progress of automated ultrasonic imaging detection technology for complex aircraft components

Traditional ultrasonic automated non-destructive testing is a great challenge in the inspection of aviation components with complex surfaces. Complex surfaces can interfere with the formation of the focus in the sound beam，and the waveform ...

Interactive evolution for industrial design

Interactive evolutionary design (IED) has the potential to change development processes in industrial design from generating individual solutions to designing parametric models that are employed to create a vast space of possible solutions....

Creating Exercise Spaces in Parks for Older Adults With Fitness, Rehabilitation, and Play Elements: A Review and Perspective

Parks usually create a protective playground space for children to perform physical activity like jumping, running, and climbing. Specific spaces have rarely been created for older adults to perform physical activity in public parks. Now th...

The Challenge of Cultural Gerontology

Over the last decade, Cultural Gerontology has emerged as one of the most vibrant elements of writing about age (Twigg, J., & Martin, W. (Eds.) (2015). The Routledge handbook of cultural gerontology. London: Routledge). Reflecting the wider...

Routledge Handbook of Cultural Gerontology

Later years are changing under the impact of demographic, social and cultural shifts. No longer confined to the sphere of social welfare, they are now studied within a wider cultural framework that encompasses new experiences and new modes ...

Fluid Sciences and Materials Science in Space

Nanotechnology and dentistry.

Nanotechnology deals with the physical, chemical, and biological properties of structures and their components at nanoscale dimensions. Nanotechnology is based on the concept of creating functional structures by controlling atoms and molecu...

Handbook of nanostructured materials and nanotechnology

Nanostructured materials is one of the hottest and fastest growing areas in today's materials science field, along with the related field of solid state physics. Nanostructured materials and their based technologies have opened up exciting ...

Symbolic and Structural Archaeology

This volume presents a searching critique of the more traditional archaeological methodologies and interpretation strategies and lays down a firm philosophical and theoretical basis for symbolist and structuralist studies in archaeology. A ...

A balnearização como fenômeno de fronteira (notas a partir do caso francês, 1830’s–1980’s)

This article proposes a reflection based on a French case study, concerning more precisely the region of La Rochelle, on the border dynamics inherent to the phenomenon of balnearization. As a process involving several spatial and corporeal ...

Considerazioni intorno al progetto di valorizzazione dei luoghi di interesse culturale. L’esperienza del Piano per l’Accessibilità del complesso monumentale dell’Opera di Santa Maria del Fiore a Firenze

The research presented here represents an 'experiment' in the application of the methodology of the Accessibility Plan to the monumental complex of the Opera di Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence. The goal of the research is to attempt to in...

A Companion to archaeology

Bintliff, John, ed., A Companion to Archaeology. Oxford: Blackwell Publishing, 2004. word archaeology conjures up images of people in pith helmets digging into the sandy earth of the desert or monumental buildings rising above jungle foliag...

A Catalog of Filaments in the Central Molecular Zone

We present a catalog of 1.28 GHz radio filaments observed by MeerKAT over the innermost 200 pc of the Galaxy (roughly ±1 $\mathop{.}\limits^{\unicode{x000b0}}$ 5), which includes the central molecular zone. The catalog is generated by repur...

Quantum Image Encryption Scheme Using Arnold Transform and S-box Scrambling

The paper proposes a lossless quantum image encryption scheme based on substitution tables (S-box) scrambling, mutation operation and general Arnold transform with keys. First, the key generator builds upon the foundation of SHA-256 hash wi...

Quadrupole White-light Sources in an X1.2 Flare Observed by ASO-S/LST/WST and SDO/HMI

We present observations of an X1.2 white-light flare on 2023 January 6, which exhibits a rare quadrupolar white-light source configuration. This event was observed by the White-light Solar Telescope (WST; 3600 Å) onboard the Advanced Space-...

Tera-Hertz Counterparts to Fast Radio Bursts from Coherent Cherenkov Radiation by Tilted Bunches

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are millisecond-duration extragalactic transients characterized by ultrahigh brightness temperatures, suggesting coherent emission mechanisms in extreme astrophysical processes. In this paper, we extend the bunched ...
