    Abstract The subject of this paper is the study of a timelike tube surface around the spacelike curve with timelike and spacelike binormal vectors in a three-dimensional Minkowski space E 3 1 . Moreover, we have discussed Weingarten and linear Weingarten conditions for this surface with respect to their curvatures; the mean curvature H , Gaussian curvature K and the second Gaussian curvature K II

    Mesoscopic open-eye core–shell spheroid carved anode/cathode electrodes for fully reversible and dynamic lithium-ion battery models

    We report on the key influence of mesoscopic super-open-eye core–shell spheroids of TiO2- and LiFePO4-wrapped nanocarbon carved anode/cathode electrodes with uniform interior accommodation/storage pockets for the creation of fully reversible and dynamic Li-ion power battery (LIB) models. The mesoscopic core–shell anode/cathode electrodes provide potential half- and full-cell LIB-CR2032 configuration designs, and large-scale pouch models. In these variable mesoscopic LIB models, the broad-free-access and large-open-eye like gate-in-transport surfaces featured electrodes are key factors of built-in LIBs with excellent charge/discharge capacity, energy density performances, and outstanding cycling stability. Mesoscopic open-eye spheroid full-LIB-CR2032 configuration models retain 77.8% of the 1st cycle discharge specific capacity of 168.68 mA h g−1 after multiple cycling (i.e., 1st to 2000th cycles), efficient coulombic performance of approximately 99.6% at 0.1C, and high specific energy density battery of approximately 165.66 W h kg−1 at 0.1C. Furthermore, we have built a dynamic, super-open-mesoeye pouch LIB model using dense packing sets that are technically significant to meet the tradeoff requirements and long-term driving range of electric vehicles (EVs). The full-pouch package LIB models retain a powerful gate-in-transport system for heavy loaded electron/Li+ ion storage, diffusion, and truck movement through open-ended out/in and then up/downward eye circular/curvy folds, thereby leading to substantial durability, and remarkable electrochemical performances even after long-life charge/discharge cycling

    On Dual Curves of DAW(k)-Type and Their Evolutes

    Get PDF
    In this paper, we study to express the theory of curves including a wide section of Euclidean geometry in terms of dual vector calculus which has an important place in the three -dimensional dual space D3\mathbb{D}^{3}. In other words, we study DAW(k)DAW(k)-type curves (1k3)\left( 1\leq k\leq 3\right) by using Bishop frame defined as alternatively of these curves and give some of their properties in D3\mathbb{D}^{3}. \ Moreover, we define the notion of evolutes of dual spherical curves for ruled surfaces. Finally, we give some examples to illustrate our findings

    Les tumeurs primitives de l’orbite sont des affections rares, leurs  manifestation cliniques sont tardives et variées pouvant êtres trompeuses. L’imagerie TDM et surtout IRM est capitale pour le diagnostic et la prise en charge. Le traitement est souvent chirurgical, le choix de la technique dépend de la taille et la topographie tumorale. Nous rapportons 13 cas de tumeurs orbitaires colligés entre 2004 et 2010. L’âge moyen de nos patients est de 36 ans, l’exophtalmie a été le maitre symptôme. Tous nos patients ont été opérés. Après étude histologique de la pièce d’exérèse opératoire il s’agissait de: 5 hémangiomes caverneux, 4 tumeurs mixtes, 2 neurinomes, 1 kyste hydatique et 1 angiome. Un seul cas de récidive tumorale a été noté.Mots clés : tumeur de l’orbite, hémangiome caverneux, shwannome, chirurgie

    A non-contact capacitance type level transducer for liquid characterization

    Get PDF
    The liquid properties such as buoyancy, pressure at a depth, relative electrical permittivity, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, absorption of radiation, liquid surface reflection of sound or light waves, are used to design the different types of liquid level transducers for liquid level measurement in any process industry. The contact-type level-sensing transducers have the disadvantage that their characteristic properties may change due to physical or chemical reaction between the liquid and the probing material, and hence may affect accuracy besides their life time. The non-contact-type level-sensing probes may have longer life period, but they are comparatively costly and require various environmental and experimental precautionary measures when being used. In this paper, a low-cost non-contact capacitance type liquid level measuring technique has been designed and used for liquid identification objectives. The results obtained are very much consistent with the theoretical derivations

    Effect of intensive melt shearing on the formation of Fe-containing intermetallics in LM24 Al-alloy

    Get PDF
    Fe is one of the inevitable and detrimental impurities in aluminium alloys that degrade the mechanical performance of castings. In the present work, intensive melt shearing has been demonstrated to modify the morphology of Fe-containing intermetallic compounds by promoting the formation of compact α-Al(Fe,Mn)Si at the expense of needle-shaped β-AlFeSi, leading to an improved mechanical properties of LM24 alloy processed by MC-HPDC process. The promotion of the formation of α -Al(Fe, Mn)Si phase is resulted from the enhanced nucleation on the well dispersed MgAl 2O 4 particles in the melt. The Fe tolerance of LM24 alloy can be effectively improved by combining Mn alloying and intensive melt shearing

    Validation of the Antiproliferative Effects of Organic Extracts from the Green Husk of Juglans regia L. on PC-3 Human Prostate Cancer Cells by Assessment of Apoptosis-Related Genes

    With the increased use of plant-based cancer chemotherapy, exploring the antiproliferative effects of phytochemicals for anticancer drug design has gained considerable attention worldwide. This study was undertaken to investigate the effect of walnut green husk extracts on cell proliferation and to determine the possible molecular mechanism of extract-induced cell death by quantifying the expression of Bcl-2, Bax, caspases-3, and Tp53. PC-3 human prostate cancer cells. In this study, we found that green husk extracts suppressed proliferation and induced apoptosis in a dose- and time-dependent manner by modulating expression of apoptosis-related genes. This involved DNA fragmentation (determined by TUNEL assay) and significant changes in levels of mRNA and the expression of corresponding proteins. An increase in expressions of Bax, caspase-3, and tp53 genes and their corresponding proteins was detected using real-time PCR and western blot analysis in PC-3 cells treated with the green husk organic extracts. In contrast, Bcl2 expression was downregulated after exposure to the extracts. Our data suggest the presence of bioactive compound(s) in walnut green husks that are capable of killing prostate carcinoma cells by inducing apoptosis and that the husks are a candidate source of anticancer drugs
