In another paper [1], the authors presented an approach to penetration of a particulate target. This theory is based on the friction that the particles of target material present to the entire penetrator surface, including its shank. The shank of the penetrator affords a very large surface area compared to that of the nose. Even modest friction acting on the shank can provide a fairly large retarding force. Normal pressure acting on the projectile is assumed to be velocity-squared dependant, as indicated by a number of methods, including cavity expansion modeling [2]. Penetration of sand and soil has been considered by numerous investigators, e.g. [3–5]. These investigations did not directly address the frictional component of the net resisting force acting on the penetrator. A series of laboratory scale penetrations tests were performed. Data from these tests was used to evaluate the parameters in the model. Fine foundry sand is a high-density medium (1960 kg/m3) with a small amount of friction. This contrasts the target used by the authors in [1], which had a sizable amount of friction. Results from the theory are in excellent agreement with the experiments with velocities as high as 630 m/sec.

Ytterbium (Yb)-doped of Bi(Pb)-2223 with varying concentration was prepared by co-precipitation (COP) and solid state reaction (SSR) to produce high density and low density samples respectively. In this work, the samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) and resistivity measurement system. Substitution of Yb in Bi(Pb)-2223 decreased the volume percentage of 2223 phase, the length of c-parameter, TC and JC towards higher concentration of Yb. The crystallographic structure is tetragonal in a low concentration of Yb but changes to orthorhombic at higher Yb-doped. The high-density samples have a higher volume percentage of 2223 phase and critical temperature, TC for the same concentration of Yb compared to low-density samples. However, the critical current density, JC in low-density samples is higher compared to high-density samples due to the large surface area in a porous structure made by sucrose. The large surface area favors improving the grains connectivity during the sintering process.

Since the development of first lipid-based nanocarrier system, about 15% of the present pharmaceutical market uses nanomedicines to achieve medical benefits. Nanotechnology is an advanced area to meliorate the delivery of compounds for improved medical diagnosis and curing disease. Nanomedicines are gaining significant interest due to the ultra small size and large surface area to mass ratio. In this review, we discuss the potential of nanotechnology in delivering of active moieties for the disease therapy including their toxicity evidences. This communication will help the formulation scientists in understanding and exploring the new aspects of nanotechnology in the field of nanomedicine.

Interesting transport phenomena arise when fluids are confined to nanoscale dimensions in the range of 1–100 nm. We examine three distinct effects that influence ionic and molecular transport as the size of fluidic channels is decreased to the nanoscale. First, the length scale of electrostatic interactions in aqueous solutions becomes comparable to nanochannel size and the number of surface charges becomes comparable to the number of ions in the channel. Second, the size of the channel becomes comparable to the size of biomolecules such as proteins and DNA. Third, large surface area-to-volume ratios result in rapid rates of surface reactions and can dramatically affect transport of molecules through the channel. These phenomena enable us to control transport of ions and molecules in unique ways that are not possible in larger channels. Electrostatic interactions enable local control of ionic concentrations and transport inside nanochannels through field effect in a nanofluidic transistor, which is analogous to the metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistor. Furthermore, by controlling surface charge in nanochannels, it is possible to create a nanofluidic diode that rectifies ionic transport through the channel. Biological binding events result in partial blockage of the channel, and can thus be sensed by a decrease in nanochannel conductance. At low ionic concentrations, the effect of biomolecular charge is dominant and it can lead to an increase in conductance. Surface reactions can also be used to control transport of molecules though the channel due to the large surface area-to-volume ratios. Rapid surface reactions enable a new technique of diffusion-limited patterning (DLP), which is useful for patterning of biomolecules and surface charge in nanochannels. These examples illustrate how electrostatic interactions, biomolecular size, and surface reactions can be used for controlling ionic and molecular transport through nanochannels. These phenomena may be useful for operations such as analyte focusing, pH and ionic concentration control, and biosensing in micro- and nanofluidic devices.
