A general frame is proposed to model the propagation of electrical signals along nano-interconnects, either made by carbon nanotubes, graphene nanoribbons or metal nanowires. In the typical operating conditions of the next generations of integrated circuits, the electrodynamics of the nano-interconnects may be conveniently described by means of a semi-classical transport model, based on the modified Boltzmann transport equation. From this model we derive here a generalized non-local dispersive Ohm’s law, which can be regarded as the constitutive equation for the material. From the knowledge of the conduction and valence subbands, it is possible to define an equivalent number of conducting channels, which affects the circuit parameters of such interconnects. The study of the dispersion introduced by the generalized Ohm’s law gives a clear explanation to the different propagation properties of nano-interconnects made by carbon materials and conventional metals.

The paper describes a chemical method for the fabrication of superfine polivinillpirrolidon based coating for doxorubicin-eluting polymer biliary stents. The optimal conditions for the fabrication were defined and the effectiveness of the coating when exposed to bile in static conditions was proved. The study found that the obtained drug-eluting coating reduces the process of bile crystallization on the sample polymer stent surface. The mechanism of “PVP- doxorubicin” stable adsorption complex formation was studied using quantum - chemical method DFT. A number of positions of doxorubicin molecule in respect to polyvinylpyrrolidone fragment were analyzed, and the basic characteristics of adsorption processes were defined. It was found that energetically more favorable interaction occurs via the doxorubicin molecule oxy group.

Metal nanoshells composed by a dielectric core with a thin gold layer are stimulating growing interests due to the unique optical, electric and magnetic properties exhibited by the local field enhancement near the metal – dielectric core interface due to strong local plasmon resonance and the high tunability of such resonance as a function of shape and core-material. These unique characteristics have found promising applications in a wide range of areas, such as biosensing, optical communication and medicine. In this paper, we developed a theoretical and numerical simulation based on a near-field approach to study the possibility to identify nanoshells inside mouse cells. Taking advantage from the characteristic near-infrared transparency window of many biological systems, i.e. the low light absorption coefficient of biological systems between 750-1100nm, we show the possibility to identify and detect 100-150nm diameter gold nanoshells inside the animal cells.

Electromagnetic properties of nanocarbon systems are essential for the creation of various nanoelectronic devices. Our major attention is focused on CNTs, graphene nanostructures (e.g., GNR and GNF), graphene-based aerogels (GBA) and CNT-based aerogels (CNTBA) as the basis for high-speed nanoelectronics and prospective nanosensors. Special attention is paid to fundamental properties of CNTs, GNRs and various CNT-Me, GNR-Me, CNT-graphene interconnects. Nanosystems of 3D GBA and CNTBA are regarded as complicated systems made up of basic nanocarbon interconnected elements. Technological interest to contacts of CNTs or GNRs with other conducting elements in nanocircuits, FET-type nanodevices, GBA and CNTBA is the reason to estimate various interconnect resistances, which depend on chirality effects in the interconnects. Simulations of electromagnetic properties in interconnects have been performed to evaluate integral resistances, capacitances and impedances of various topologies (1D, 2D and 3D) in nanodevices, including their frequency properties (GHz&THz).

Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) are self-configuring dynamic networks of mobile devices connected by wireless links without any fixed infrastructure or centralized administration. In order to achieve stable clusters, the cluster-heads (CHs) maintaining the cluster should be stable with minimum re-affiliation times and number of changes on CHs, with maximal throughput of the clustering formation and maintenance. An improved adaptive weighted clustering algorithm based on time interval grade (IATIGWCA) in MANETs is proposed. Each node can be assigned an adaptive role and set its status value through their Hello messages in the formation procedure of clusters, and an appropriate CH of a cluster is elected by the calculation the total weight which comprising four factors: degree difference, average Euclidean distance, average relative speed and consumed battery power. In the maintenance procedure of clusters, the duration of clustering maintenance is set to 2 grades which are Little Time Slot and Big Time Slot in order to improve the efficiency of clustering and decrease the times of computation of the total weight of every node. The simulation results show that the selection of numbers of CHs and numbers of clusters in the stage of the formation of clusters is an optimal solution which brings higher throughput, less re-affiliation times, less number of changes on CHs and longer residence time of cluster in IATIGWCA than LID and WCA.

Due to large space demanding and time-consuming, as the Internet is large and complex, the detection and prevention of the worm has many engineering constraints factors, the classic graph theory algorithms cannot suitable for solving some problems in the large-scale network. Sub-graphs of vertices have a higher density of edges within them while a lower density of edges between sub-graphs. To solve large-scale network analysis, the method of using DFS network segmentation algorithm based on network topology was proposed by analyzing the study of graph depth-first search (Depth First Search, referred to as DFS) segmentation algorithm, and thus obtain a description of the network connectivity of undirected connected graph G (V, E).this provide a strong theoretical support for fast access network backbone node. The result of experiments shows that the proposed method is effective.

Mechanical tests and electron microscopy scanning tests were done and micro-structural parameters were quantitatively analyzed in order to study the essence of structural characteristics of Dredge Fills. After comparing the mechanical test results with the statistical results of microstructure parameters, it can be find that the transition stage of the stress-strain curve of dredge fill compression test is also the mutation stage of the curve of micro-structural parameters, and the same time, the micro-structural parameters of shear test soil samples under different axial strain were not linear variation with the axial strain increases and mutated in 10% to 15% axial strain. The analysis result shows that the structural mechanical properties of the dredge fill are subject to its microstructure, and mutation of mechanical test curve is a macroscopic manifestation of microscopic structure damage. The experimental results indicate that dredge fill has the basic mechanical properties of structural soil.

It is known to us all that in factors of determining shipbuilding cycle, ship assembly occupies an important position in shipbuilding. In traditional shipbuilding model, front-line workers conduct assembly according to the two-dimensional drawing of marine designer. They will make mistakes inattentively, which results in the waste of manpower and material resources. At the same time, the abstraction of drawing will tend to generate deviation in the communication system between designer and ship-owner because of no concrete model object. This paper adopted a kind of technology that could use three-dimensional entity form to express ship model and assembling process-ship virtual assembly technology. The combination of virtual reality technology and ship assembly technology revealed the insufficient and defect in design, which avoided the waste of manpower and material resources during practical assembly. Through the selection and comparison of virtual assembly, we could optimize assembly technology, thus to convenient for the learning and execution of front-liner workers, enhance shipbuilding efficiency and shorten shipbuilding cycle.

Safety problems caused by thermal runaway have been restricting the popularization and application of power lithium-ion battery (LIB). As Electrical Resistance Tomography (ERT) method can potentially detect the variations of internal cell apparent resistivity influenced by temperature, the simulation of the relationship between the internal cell temperature and apparent resistivity is presented to monitor the thermal circumstance inside LIB cell. Using the linear interpolation functions, the LIB model is built and meshed. The appropriate boundary conditions are imposed to simulate the cell virtual heating process and ERT process. During the simulations, the distributions of the apparent resistivity at different temperatures are given. It is found that the correlation of apparent resistivity and temperature is well fitted by quintic function. Meanwhile, the evaluation of quintic fit under cell discharge reveals a deviation of 6.2K between the cell core temperature and the surface temperatures. The presented method cannot only be applied in thermal balance management, life prediction and load control, but also afford a possible way for monitoring the health of separator structure of LIB.
