  • In the present work, the buckling behavior of a single-layered graphene sheet (SLGS) embedded in visco-Pasternak's medium is studied using nonlocal four-unknown integral model. This model has a displacement field with integral terms which includes the effect of transverse shear deformation without using shear correction factors. The visco-Pasternak's medium is introduced by considering the damping effect to the classical foundation model which modeled by the linear Winkler's coefficient and Pasternak's (shear) foundation coefficient. The SLGS under consideration is subjected to compressive in- plane edge loads per unit length. The influences of many parameters such as nonlocal parameter, geometric ratio, the visco-Pasternak's coefficients, damping parameter, and mode numbers on the buckling response of the SLGSs are studied and discussed.

  • We review our studies on the growth of microcrystalline silicon films by the standard PECVD technique. In situ spectroscopic ellipsometry studies allow the optimization of the complex film structure with respect to competing aspects of the growth process. Fine tuning the hydrogen flux, the ion energy, and the nature of the species contributing to deposition produces unique films with a fully crystallized interface with silicon nitride. These materials have been successfully incorporated in bottom gate TFTs which present mobility values in the range of 1 to 3 $cm^2/V.s$, and stable characteristics when submitted to a bias stress. The stability of these TFTs makes them suitable for driver applications in AMLCDs as well as pixel elements in OLED displays.

  • Microcrystalline Si (${\mu}c-Si$) TFTs were fabricated using a conventional bottom gate amorphous Si (a-Si) process. A unique ${\mu}c-Si$ deposition technique and TFT architecture was proposed to enhance the reliability of the TFTs. This three-mask TFT fabrication process is comparable with existing a-Si TFT procesess. In order to suppress nucleation at the bottom interface of Si, before deposition of the ${\mu}c-Si$ an $N_2$ plasma passivation was conducted. A typical transfer characteristic of the TFTs shows a low off-current with a value of less than 1 pA and a sub threshold slop of 0.7 V/dec. The DC stress was applied to verify the use of ${\mu}c-Si$ TFTs for AMOLED displays. After 10,000 s of application of the stress, the off-current was even lowered and sub-threshold slope variation was less than 5%. For AMOLED displays, OLED pixel simulation was performed. A pixel current of 13 ${\mu}A$ was achieved with $V_{data}$ of 10 V. After the simulation, a linear equation for the pixel current was suggested.

  • In this work, a ruthenium dioxide electrode has been prepared by thermal decomposition at 400 ℃ then used for the oxidation of commercial amoxicillin. The physical characterization showed that RuO2 electrode presents a mud cracked structure. Its electrochemical characterization has revealed an increase of the voltammetric charge in acid electrolyte compared to neutral electrolyte indicating the importance of protons in its surface redox processes. The voltammetric study of the oxidation of amoxicillin has been investigated. It has been obtained that the oxidation of amoxicillin is controlled by both adsorption and diffusion processes. Moreover, the oxidation of amoxicillin occurs via direct and indirect processes in free or electrolyte containing chlorides. Through preparative electrolysis, enhancement of amoxicillin oxidation was observed in the presence of chloride where the amoxicillin degradation yield reached more than 50 % compared to less than 5% in the absence of chlorides. Spectrophotometric investigations have revealed the degradation of intermediates absorbing at 350 nm.

  • In this work, the thermal buckling characteristics of zigzag single-walled boron nitride (SWBNNT) embedded in a one-parameter elastic medium modeled as Winkler-type foundation are investigated using a nonlocal first-order shear deformation theory (NFSDT). This model can take into account the small scale effect as well as the transverse shear deformation effects of nanotubes. A closed-form solution for nondimensional critical buckling temperature is obtained in this investigation. Further the effect of nonlocal parameter, Winkler elastic foundation modulus, the ratio of the length to the diameter, the transverse shear deformation and rotary inertia on the critical buckling temperature are being investigated and discussed. The results presented in this paper can provide useful guidance for the study and design of the next generation of nanodevices that make use of the thermal buckling properties of boron nitride nanotubes.

  • This study aims to analyze the relative importance of bone age and chronological age in physique according to gender and to identify the relative importance of bone age, chronological age, and physique in physical fitness and motor coordination according to gender in order to alleviate the imbalance between physique and physical fitness in children. A total of 666 children(346 males, 320 females) between the ages of 11-14 were enrolled as subjects, and the skeletal maturation The skeletal maturation were measured by taking hand-wrist. Physical fitness were measured through a total of 4 components: muscular strength. The results of this study. First, physique variables for both males and females aged 11-14 were found to be more significant predictors of bone age than chronological age. Second, for physical fitness in males, in the order of %fat, body water, waist-hip ratio, weight, fat-free mass, and chronological age were more significant predictor variables; and in females, in the order of %fat, fat-free mass, height, chronological age, weight, bone age, fat mass, and body water were more significant predictor variables. For bone age and chronological age in physical fitness, bone age in males and chronological age in females found to be the more representative variables respectively.

  • The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of cervical alignment, pain, and physique to apply proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation(PNF) techniques in patients with forward head posture (FHP). The subjects of this study were 24 patients diagnosed with FHP. They were randomly divided into two groups: a PNF group(n=12) and a control group(n=12). The intervention was performed a total of 24 times, 30 min a day, six times a week for four weeks. Data on cervical alignment(forward head displacement, FHD), pain(visual analog scale, VAS), and physique(height, weight, and body mass index) were obtained pre- and post-intervention. Two-way repeated measures ANOVA was used to compare the groups and time. For FHD, the VAS, and physique(height and BMI), there was an interaction effect for the groups and time(p<.001, BMI: p<.05) and main effects for time(p<.001, BMI: p<.05). For weight, there were main effects of time(p<.01). For FHD(p<.01) and the VAS(p<.05), there were main effects for the groups. In the PNF group, there were significant improvements in FHD, VAS, and physique. In the control group, there was a significant increase in FHD. The results of this study indicated that PNF intervention using scapular and upper extremity patterns effective in FHP positively. The use of a therapeutic intervention on physique changes may also be effective in improving poor posture and help to better patients' quality of life.

  • This study investigated how exposure to thin-ideal images affects social physical anxiety and body-esteem in relation to individual levels of self-consciousness. A survey questionnaire was administered to a convenience sample of 119 female college students. Sixty-seven of the 119 participated in a posttest session. The mean comparisons of social physique anxiety and body-esteem scores between pretest and posttest were conducted; no significant results were found. However, when participants were divided into two separate self-consciousness groups (high vs. low), the effect of media exposure on social physique anxiety were significant.

  • In this paper, the critical buckling temperature of single-walled Boron Nitride nanotube (SWBNNT) is estimated using a new nonlocal first-order shear deformation beam theory. The present model is capable of capturing both small scale effect and transverse shear deformation effects of SWBNNT and is based on assumption that the inplane and transverse displacements consist of bending and shear components, in which the bending components do not contribute toward shear forces and, likewise, the shear components do not contribute toward bending moments. Results indicate the importance of the small scale effects in the thermal buckling analysis of Boron Nitride nanotube.
