Hydromagnetic couple-stress nanofluid flow over a moving convective wall: OHAM analysis
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
This communication presents the magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) flow of a couple-stress nanofluid over a convective moving wall. The flow dynamics are analyzed in the boundary layer region. Convective cooling phenomenon combined ...
Validity of the effective potential method to study PT-symmetric field theories
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
We calculate the one loop effective potential for the class (-(iϕ)α) of PT-symmetric and non-Hermitian field theories in 0+1 space-time dimensions. To test the method, we showed that for the massless Hermitian ϕ4 theory, ...
Structural evaluation, preliminary in vitro stability and electrochemical behavior of apatite coatings on Ti6Al4V substrates
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
Medical-grade alloys, such as Ti-6Al-4V, have been used for fixation of fractured bone and for the total replacement of defective bone. Their bioactivity could be improved by applying a bone-like apatite layer onto their ...
