Due to the limitation on properties of the hydroxyapatite, it is doping with Magnesium (HAp-Mg). The addition of Chitosan (Chi) was expected to improve the antibacterial properties of HAp-Mg. The present research aims to study the influence of Chitosan with 0, 5, 15, and 25 wt% addition on biocompatibility properties of Chi/HAp-Mg composite. HAp-Mg was synthesized using the sol-gel method; meanwhile, Chi/HAp-Mg composite was manufactured by mixing Chitosan in acetic acid, and HAp-Mg was added into the mixture. The synthesized samples were characterized using XRD and SEM. In vitro antibacterial activities of the Chi/HAp-Mg composite were evaluated against Escherichia coli bacteria. Biocompatibility analysis from antibacterial activity showed that composite with the optimal composition on the addition of 15 wt% Chitosan has the best ability in inhibiting the growth of E. coli bacteria.","PeriodicalId":22842,"journal":{"name":"Theory of Computing Systems \\/ Mathematical Systems Theory","volume":"7 1","pages":"119-125"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75508701","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dynamic MRI provides the observed object visualization through time and results in a spatiotemporal signal. The image sequences often contain redundant information in both spatial and temporal domains. To utilize this characteristic, we propose a spatio-temporal reconstruction approach based on compressive sensing theory. We apply spatio-temporal structure tensor using nuclear norm, in addition to the wavelet sparsity regularization. The spatio-temporal structure tensor is a matrix that consists of gradient components of the MRI data w.r.t the spatial and temporal domains. For the wavelet sparsity, we use L1 – L2 instead of L1 norm. We propose the algorithm using primaldual splitting (PDS) approach to solve the convex optimization problem. In the experiment, we investigate the potential benefit of adding the two regularizations to the compressive sensing problem. The algorithm is compared with PDSbased algorithm using conventional regularizations, i.e., wavelet sparsity and total variation. Our proposed algorithm performs superior results in terms of reconstruction accuracy and visual quality.","PeriodicalId":22842,"journal":{"name":"Theory of Computing Systems \\/ Mathematical Systems Theory","volume":"17 1","pages":"126-130"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84622536","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The ability of each nanostructure to produce a uniform surface was characterized and the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) response of the resulting surfaces were examined using the reporter molecule 4aminothiolphenol (ATP) and a 638 nm excitation laser. A synthetic method was developed to produce silver nanowires with lengths of ~20 μm and diameters of ~100 nm with a narrow size distribution. The method utilized a simple, one-pot synthesis that is amenable to large-scale production. A selective precipitation method was used to the isolate the ~200 aspect ratio silver nanowires in a high purity. The wires were Mayer rod coated onto glass slides to produce uniform surfaces with ease. The SERS response was found to be highly variable depending on the sampled location. An enhancement factor of 2.2x105 was tentatively assigned using the 1600 cm-1 peak of ATP. The silver complex μ-oxolato-bis(ethylenediaminesilver(I)) was synthesized as reported in the literature. The aqueous solution of the complex was thermally decomposed to produce SERS-active silver surfaces on glass slides. The silver complex was unable to generate a uniform surface coating without the use of additives. By dropcasting the complex at the decomposition temperature, surfaces were generated exhibiting ~75 nm, spherical nanoparticles. The surface was found to be SERS-active, however the poor processing characteristics of the complex prevent its applicability to large-scale device production. Silver nanowire surfaces were used as substrates to Mayer rod coat the silver complex uniformly without the use of additives. This provided the proof-of-concept that the dual-nanostructured surface is amenable to large scale production through the use of roll-to-roll printing. A dual-nanostructured surface was produced by dropcasting the complex on silver nanowire surfaces to mimic the quality of surface achievable by an industrial production line. The dual-nanostructured surface produced a spatially consistent SERS response and an enhancement factor of 4.3x105 was tentatively assigned using the 1600 cm-1 peak of ATP.","PeriodicalId":22842,"journal":{"name":"Theory of Computing Systems \\/ Mathematical Systems Theory","volume":"364 1","pages":"7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85305093","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ice-templated ceramics is a versatile processing technique used to manufacture anisotropic ceramic foam by exploiting the anisotropic growth characteristics and lamellar morphology. The ice-templating process results in processing-structure-property relationships determined by the microstructure. The processed alumina samples which were later manufactured by water jet machine from the freeze casting were tested under quasi-static off-axis loading conditions and were used to determine the mechanical properties of the material. Digital image correlation (DIC) was used to measure the strain response of ice-templated ceramic under off-axis loading. DIC results revealed nonhomogenous strain distribution in the material during compression. Specifically, the origin of the localized strain concentration columnar regions, which are oriented in the ice-growth direction. Those regions were found to be the onset failure of in off-axis and 0-degree loading conditions. The experimental results reveal the strong influence of the loading direction on the compressive behavior of the ice-templated ceramic. A Representative Volume Element is developed to predict the behavior of off-axis loading. Micro-mechanical loading results in indicated that buckling of lamella walls were determined as the driving factor of failure. The results of the model compared favorably with the experimental results.","PeriodicalId":22842,"journal":{"name":"Theory of Computing Systems \\/ Mathematical Systems Theory","volume":"118 1","pages":"10"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81673719","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
