STAGES OF VACATION PLANNING BY THE ACADEMIC YOUTH IN 2015

Stages of Vacation Planning by the Academic Youth in 2015

In 2015, most of university students chose to have a vacation in their home country (75.1%).Before students decided where to go on vacation they had identified their needs.In doing so they took into consideration opinions of other people (friends – 35.9%, family – 26%) or information provided by different sources (the Internet – 7

Functional Ginger Extracts from Supercritical Fluid Carbon Dioxide Extraction via In Vitro and In Vivo Assays: Antioxidation, Antimicroorganism, and Mice Xenografts Models

Supercritical fluid carbon dioxide extraction technology was developed to gain the active components from a Taiwan native plant, Zingiber officinale (ginger).We studied the biological effects of ginger extracts via multiple assays and demonstrated the biofunctions in each platform.Investigations of ginger extracts indicated antioxidative properties

Sound reduction by metamaterial-based acoustic enclosure

In many practical systems, acoustic radiation control on noise sources contained within a finite volume by an acoustic enclosure is of great importance, but difficult to be accomplished at low frequencies due to the enhanced acoustic-structure interaction.In this work, we propose to use acoustic metamaterials as the enclosure to efficiently reduce

Atomistic Study of Mechanical Behaviors of Carbon Honeycombs

With an ultralarge surface-to-volume ratio, a recently synthesized Pillow three-dimensional graphene structure, namely, carbon honeycomb, promises important engineering applications.Herein, we have investigated, via molecular dynamics simulations, its mechanical properties, which are inevitable for its integrity and desirable for any feasible imple
