Abstract:
Roughness and defects induced on few-layer graphene (FLG) irradiated by Ar+ ions at different energies were
investigated using X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) and atomic force microscopy techniques. The results
provide direct experimental evidence of ripple formation, sp2 to sp3 hybridized carbon transformation, electronic
damage, Ar+ implantation, unusual defects and edge reconstructions in FLG, which depend on the irradiation
energy. In addition, shadowing effects similar to those found in oblique-angle growth of thin films were seen.
Reliable quantification of the transition from the sp2-bonding to sp3-hybridized state as a result of Ar+ ion irradiation
is achieved from the deconvolution of the XPS C (1s) peak. Although the ion irradiation effect is demonstrated
through the shape of the derivative of the Auger transition C KVV spectra, we show that the D parameter values
obtained from these spectra which are normally used in the literature fail to account for the sp2 to sp3 hybridization
transition. In contrast to what is known, it is revealed that using ion irradiation at large FLG sample tilt angles can
lead to edge reconstructions. Furthermore, FLG irradiation by low energy of 0.25 keV can be a plausible way of
peeling graphene layers without the need of Joule heating reported previously

Abstract:
Amine Terminated Liquid Natural Rubber (ATNR) was used as a plasticiser in filled NR and NBR
compounds replacing oil/DOP. The scorch time and cure time were found to be lowered when ATNR
was used as the plasticiser. ATNR was found to improve the mechanical properties like tensile strength,
tear strength and modulus of the vulcanizates . The ageing resistance of the vulcanizates containing ATNR
was superior compared to the vulcanizates containing oil/DOP.

Abstract:
In this paper, we describe the use of an open cell
photoacoustic configuration for the evaluation of the thermal
effusivity of liquid crystals. The feasibility, precision and reliability
of the method are initially established by measuring
the thermal effusivities of water and glycerol, for which the
effusivity values are known accurately. In order to demonstrate
the use of the present method in the thermal characterization
of liquid crystals, we have measured the thermal
effusivity values in various mesophases of 4-cyano-4 -
octyloxybiphenyl (8OCB) and 4-cyano-4 -heptyloxybiphenyl
(7OCB) liquid crystals using a variable temperature open
photoacoustic cell. A comparison of the measured values for
the two liquid crystals shows that the thermal effusivities of
7OCB in the nematic and isotropic phases are slightly less
than those of 8OCB in the corresponding phases

Carboxy Terminated Liquid Natural Rubber (CTNR) was
prepared by photochemical reaction using maleic anhydride and masticated
natural rubber (NR). The use of CTNR as an adhesive in bonding rubber to
rubber and rubber to metal was studied. The peel strengths and lap shear
strengths of the adherends which were bonded using CTNR were determined.
The effect of using a tri isocyanate with CTNR in rubber to metal bonding was
also studied. It is found that CTNR can effectively be used in bonding rubber to
rubber and rubber to mild steel.

Abstract:
he phenomenon of single beam mirage effect, otherwise known as photothermal deflection (PTD) effect using a He–Ne laser beam has been employed to detect phase transitions in some liquid crystals. It has been observed that anomalous changes in amplitude occur in the PTD signal level near the transition temperature. The experimental details and the results of measurements made in liquid crystals E8, M21 and M24 are given in this paper.

Abstract:
The phenomenon of mirage effect suffered by a He-Ne laser beam has been utilized to detect phase transitions in solids. It has been observed that anomalous fluctuations of large amplitude occur in the signal level near the transition temperature. The mean square value of the fluctuation is found to exhibit a well-defined peak at this point. Results of measurements made in the case of crystals of TGS ((NH2CH2COOH)3.H2SO4) and a ceramic sample (BaTiO3) are given to illustrate this technique.

Abstract:
Extensive use of the Internet coupled with the
marvelous growth in e-commerce and m-commerce has created a
huge demand for information security. The Secure Socket Layer
(SSL) protocol is the most widely used security protocol in the
Internet which meets this demand. It provides protection against
eaves droppings, tampering and forgery. The cryptographic
algorithms RC4 and HMAC have been in use for achieving security
services like confidentiality and authentication in the SSL. But recent
attacks against RC4 and HMAC have raised questions in the
confidence on these algorithms. Hence two novel cryptographic
algorithms MAJE4 and MACJER-320 have been proposed as
substitutes for them. The focus of this work is to demonstrate the
performance of these new algorithms and suggest them as dependable
alternatives to satisfy the need of security services in SSL. The
performance evaluation has been done by using practical
implementation method.

Abstract:
We report on a laser induced photoacoustic study of the nematic-to-isotropic
transition in certain commercial nematic liquid crystal mixtures, namely BL001, BL002,
BL032 and BL035. A simple analysis of the experimental data using the
Rosencwaig–Gersho theory shows that the heat capacities of all these compounds exhibit a
sharp peak as the temperature of the sample is varied across the transition region. Also,
substantial differences in the photoacoustic signal amplitudes in nematic and isotropic phases
have been noticed for all the mixtures. The increased light scattering property of the nematic
phase may be the reason for the enhanced photoacoustic signal amplitude in this phase.

Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to describe the design and development of a digital library at
Cochin University of Science and Technology (CUSAT), India, using DSpace open source software.
The study covers the structure, contents and usage of CUSAT digital library.
Design/methodology/approach – This paper examines the possibilities of applying open source in
libraries. An evaluative approach is carried out to explore the features of the CUSAT digital library.
The Google Analytics service is employed to measure the amount of use of digital library by users
across the world.
Findings – CUSAT has successfully applied DSpace open source software for building a digital
library. The digital library has had visits from 78 countries, with the major share from India. The
distribution of documents in the digital library is uneven. Past exam question papers share the major
part of the collection. The number of research papers, articles and rare documents is less.
Originality/value – The study is the first of its type that tries to understand digital library design
and development using DSpace open source software in a university environment with a focus on the
analysis of distribution of items and measuring the value by usage statistics employing the Google
Analytics service. The digital library model can be useful for designing similar systems
