Spectral encoding of spatial frequency approach for characterization of nanoscale structures
(American Institute of Physics, 2012-07-17)An approach to acquire axial structural information at nanoscale is demonstrated. It is based on spectral encoding of spatial frequency principle to reconstruct the structural information about the axial profile of the ... -
The speed of interfacial waves polarized in a symmetry plane
(Elsevier, 2006-01)The surface-impedance matrix method is used to study interfacial waves polarized in a plane of symmetry of anisotropic elastic materials. Although the corresponding Stroh polynomial is a quartic, it turns out to be ... -
Spherulization as a process for the exudation of chemical cues by the encrusting sponge C. crambe
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016-07-06)Ecological interactions in the marine environment are now recognized to be partly held by chemical cues produced by marine organisms. In particular, sponges are sessile animals thought to rely on the bioactive substances ... -
Spontaneous solid-state cocrystallization of caffeine and urea
(American Chemical Society, 2020-01-09)The cocrystallization of caffeine and urea was monitored and analyzed using infrared spectroscopy, Raman microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and X-ray diffraction. The caffeine-urea ... -
Stability analysis of charge-controlled soft dielectric plates
(Elsevier, 2020-04-06)We examine the stability of a soft dielectric plate deformed by the coupled effects of a mechanical pre-stress applied on its lateral faces and an electric field applied through its thickness under charge control. The ... -

(Elsevier, 2020-04-06)We examine the stability of a soft dielectric plate deformed by the coupled effects of a mechanical pre-stress applied on its lateral faces and an electric field applied through its thickness under charge control. The ... -
Stability of Janus nanoparticles at fluid interface
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2009)Using Monte Carlo simulations the interaction of a nanometre-sized, spherical Janus particle (a particle with two distinct surface regions of different functionality, in this case showing amphiphilic behaviour) with an ... -
A stainless steel multi-well plate (SS-MWP) for high-throughput Raman analysis of dilute solutions
(Wiley, 2010)The use of Raman spectroscopy for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of dilute aqueous solutions is of interest to the biopharmaceutical manufacturing sector. However, the inherent weakness of the Raman effect, ... -
Standard protocols for antimicrobial susceptibility testing of Vibrionaceae isolated from aquatic animals
(European Association of Fish Pathologists, 2018-07-18)A review of the relevant literature has shown that it is safe to recommend that the antimicrobial susceptibility of the species of the Vibrionaceae most commonly isolated from aquatic animals can be established using ... -
Statistical corrections of fracture sampling bias in boreholes from acoustic televiewer logs
(New Zealand Geothermal Workshop, 2012)Targeting structurally controlled permeability remains a challenge in high temperature geothermal fields, because of the difficulties in characterising faults and fractures and their behaviour within the reservoir. The ... -
Status of the VERITAS Observatory
(2008)VERITAS, an Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescope (IACT) system for gammma-ray astronomy in the GeV-TeV range, has recently completed its first season of observations with a full array of four telescopes. A number of ... -
Stereoselective epimerizations of glycosyl thiols
(American Chemical Society, 2017-10-17)Glycosyl thiols are widely used in stereoselective S-glycoside synthesis. Their epimerization from 1,2-trans to 1,2-cis thiols (e.g., equatorial to axial epimerization in thioglucopyranose) was attained using TiCl4, while ... -
Stoneley waves and interface stability for Bell materials in compression; comparison with rubber
(2005)Two semi-infinite bodies made of prestressed, homogeneous, Bell-constrained, hyperelastic materials are perfectly bonded along a plane interface. The half-space have been subjected to finite pure homogeneous predeformations, ... -
Strain energy function for isotropic non-linear elastic incompressible solids with linear finite strain response in shear and torsion
(Elsevier, 2016-07-18)We find the strain energy function for isotropic incompressible solids exhibiting a linear relationship between shear stress and amount of shear, and between torque and amount of twist, when subject to large simple shear ... -
Strain rate effects on the failure characteristics of excised human skin
(The 9th International Conference on the Mechanics of Time Dependent Materials, 2014)Skin is a complex, multi-layered material which exhibits non-linear, anisotropic and viscoelastic behaviour. Its structure is complex and can be broadly divided into three main layers: the epidermis, the dermis and ... -
The stress field in a pulled cork and some subtle points in the semi-inverse method of nonlinear elasticity
(The Royal Society, 2007-11-08)In an attempt to describe cork-pulling, we model a cork as an incompressible rubber-like material and consider that it is subject to a helical shear deformation superimposed onto a shrink fit and a simple torsion. It turns ... -
Stress management at the ER: regulators of ER stress-induced apoptosis.
(Elsevier, 2012-02-17)The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is an elaborate cellular organelle essential for cell function and survival. Conditions that interfere with ER function lead to the accumulation and aggregation of unfolded proteins which are ... -
Structural and material electro-mechanical instabilities in microstructured dielectric elastomer plates
(Elsevier, 2022-02-18)In this paper, we investigate the stability of microstructured dielectric elastomer (DE) plates under electro-mechanical finite deformations. We examine the influence of the DE composite microstructure parameters on the ... -
