Applying the Electrochemical Deposition Technology to Construct the Hybrid Devices

Nanowires functionalized by special molecules can be used to as the candidates for biological application in many areas. In this paper, nickel nanowires, which were fabricated by electrochemical deposition and functionalized by biotinylated peptide, were applied to constructing the hybrid device powered by F-1-ATPase motors.

On Best Proximity Point Theorems and Fixed Point Theorems for p-Cyclic Hybrid Self-Mappings in Banach Spaces

This paper relies on the study of fixed points and best proximity points of a class of so-called generalized point-dependent (K-Lambda)hybrid p-cyclic self-mappings relative to a Bregman distance Df, associated with a Gâteaux differentiable proper strictly convex function f in a smooth Banach space, where the real functions Lambda and K quantify the point-to-point hybrid and nonexpansive (or contractive) characteristics of the Bregman distance for points associated with the iterations through the cyclic self-mapping.Weak convergence results to weak cluster points are obtained for certain average sequences constructed with the iterates of the cyclic hybrid self-mappings.

The Think Tank Making Lifelong Learning a reality

This publication captures the outputs of an event organised by JISC infoNet, the Association for Learning Technology (ALT) and the JISC, held in February 2005 at the Orange Studio in Birmingham. The event was entitled ‘IT Won’t Work Here’ and it aimed to explore what is required to make Lifelong Learning a reality. The title was a play on words indicating both the need to overcome a range of negative attitudes and for the ALT and JISC communities to focus on more than simply the technology required to support learners moving across the different education sectors.
