Synthesis of silver/copper nanoparticles and their metalmetal bonding property by Kobayashi Y., Shirochi T., Yasuda Y., Morita T.

“…Discs of metallic Cu or metallic Ag were successfully bonded under annealing at 400ºC and pressurizing at 1.2 MPa for 5 min in H2 gas with help of the Ag/Cu particles. The shear strengths required for separating the bonded discs were as large as 19.7 for the Cu discs and 16.0 MPa for the Ag discs.…”

Global Dynamics of Secondary DENV Infection with Diffusion by A. M. Elaiw, A. S. Alofi

“…During the past eras, many mathematicians have paid their attentions to model the dynamics of dengue virus (DENV) infection but without taking into account the mobility of the cells and DENV particles. In this study, we develop and investigate a partial differential equations (PDEs) model that describes the dynamics of secondary DENV infection taking into account the spatial mobility of DENV particles and cells. …”
