Exploring wind-driving dust species in cool luminous giants I. Basic criteria and dynamical models of M-type AGB stars

, 2012
This work is part of an ongoing effort aiming at identifying the actual wind-drivers among the dust species observed in circumstellar envelopes. In particular, we focus on the interplay between a strong stellar radiation field and the dust formation ...

Nanofillers Reinforcing Biopolymer Composites for Sustainable Food Packaging Applications: A State‐of‐the‐Art Review

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Biopolymers are sustainable, biodegradable alternatives to petroleum‐based plastics for food packaging. Its adoption is often limited by poor mechanical strength, barrier properties, and improved thermal stability through the incorporation of nanofillers.

Dust Envelopes around Massive Young Stellar Objects [PDF]

Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2008
We investigate the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of Massive Young Stellar Objects (MYSOs) using the various infrared observational data including the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) data.

Experimental and numerical investigation of magneto-plasma optical properties toward measurements of opacity relevant for compact binary objects

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022
Electromagnetic transients known as kilonovae (KN), are among the photonic messengers released in the post-merger phase of compact binary objects, for example, binary neutron stars, and they have been recently observed as the electromagnetic counterpart ...

Critical ingredients of supernova Ia radiative-transfer modeling [PDF]

, 2014
We explore the physics of SN Ia light curves and spectra using the 1-D non-LTE time-dependent radiative-transfer code CMFGEN. Rather than adjusting ejecta properties to match observations, we select as input one "standard" 1-D Chandrasekhar-mass delayed ...

A Transparent Semicrystalline Polymer Used in Thermally Responsive Smart Window Application

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A thermally responsive smart window is fabricated based on a transparent semicrystalline polymer via copolymerizing stearyl acrylate and ethoxylated trimethylolpropane triacrylate. The high transparency is achieved by restricting the crystal domain to nanometer size via ultraviolet curing at a high temperature.

Strong, Weak and Merging Lines in Atomic Spectra

Plasma
We present analytical estimates for the maximum line strength in a transition array, as well as for the numbers of strong and weak lines. For that purpose, two main assumptions are used as concerns the line strength distribution.
