While a service-oriented approach to software engineering has become popular in recent times, the actual performance of systems composed from many distributed parts is still largely unpredictable. We… (More)
A well-balanced scheme for an isolated gravitational hydrodynamic system is defined as a scheme which exactly preserves an isothermal hydrostatic solution. In this paper, a well-balanced gas-kinetic… (More)
Here we prepared a label-free electrochemical immunosensor employing indium tin oxide (ITO) sheets as working electrodes and graphene nanocomposites as supporting matrix for simultaneous… (More)
Mass customization (MC) is a pertinent industrial practice. Different from the non-MC products, consumer return for MC products is typically prohibited. MC retailers can thus gain significant… (More)
Virtual healthcare communities are incorporating social network features to motivate more participation. Using the lens of social identity theory, this study looks at how the social network structure… (More)
In this work, platinum porous nanoparticles (PtPNPs) absorbed metal ions as electrochemical signals were fabricated. Clean-surface PtPNPs were prepared by a surfactant-free method and decorated with… (More)
It is well known that the conventional edge element method in solving vector Maxwell’s eigenvalue problem will lead to the presence of nonphysical zero eigenvalues. This paper uses the mixed finite… (More)
We demonstrate antenna-enhanced hydrogen sensing at the single-particle level. We place a single palladium nanoparticle near the tip region of a gold nanoantenna and detect the changing optical… (More)
Plasmon rulers can be used to determine nanoscale distances within chemical or biological species. They are based on the spectral shift of the scattering spectrum when two plasmonic nanoparticles… (More)
Metamaterials have become one of the hottest fields of photonics since the pioneering work of John Pendry on negative refractive index, invisibility cloaking, and perfect lensing. Three-dimensional… (More)
