Abstract Using the holographic correspondence as a tool, we study the dynamics of first-order phase transitions in strongly coupled gauge theories at finite temperature.Considering an evolution from the large to the small temperature phase, we compute the nucleation rate of bubbles of true vacuum in the metastable phase.For this purpose, we find th
In this study, friction and wear behaviour of amorphous hydrogenated carbon (a-C:H) DLC coating slide against SUJ2, TiC and TiN mating material disks in Base and ZnDTP+MoDTC oils boundary lubrication is comparatively investigated to determine the most favourable DLC/mating material/lubricant and interrelated tribofilm formation mechanism lethe ulri
Smart polymers as ideal drug nanocarriers have attracted much attention due to the effective drug delivery, internalization and release once triggered by intracellular stimuli, as well as reduced cytotoxicity.We here reported the anionic micelle consisting of copolymer (PEG-b-PAsp) and a PBE (Phenylboronic Ester) group stirrup extender western graf
Durum wheat is one of the most important agricultural crops, currently providing 18% of the daily intake of calories and 20% of daily protein intake for humans.However, being wheat that is cultivated in arid and semiarid areas, its productivity is threatened by drought stress, which is being exacerbated by climate change.Therefore, the identificati
The use of suitable mass rearing methods is crucial to establish successful inundative or inoculative biological control programs.The development of an artificial diet considerably reduces costs of mass rearing.In this study, the efficacy of a new meridic artificial diet for rearing the predatory bug, Orius albidipennis (Het., Anthocoridae), was st
