Abstract Water-soluble tetrasulfonate resorcin[4]arene (1a and 1c) and pyrogallol[4]arene (1b) macrocycles were synthesized and investigated for their dispersing properties in cement-based mortars. Mortar tests clearly show that these polyhydroxylated macrocycles (nonpolymeric) work as cement dispersants. Setting ti…
Epiphytic microalgae attached to Posidonia oceanica leaves play a significant role through primary production, nutrient cycling and trophic fluxes in benthic ecosystems. Due to their sensitivity, epiphytic microalgae respond to environmental alterations more quickly than their host. The aim of this study is therefore…
In this paper, we propose a computationally fast and accurate explicit hybrid method for image segmentation. By using a gradient flow, the governing equation is derived from a phase-field model to minimize the Chan–Vese functional for image segmentation. The resulting governing equation is the Allen–Cahn equation with…
In this study, we report one-dimensional Li-doped ZnO nanorods (NRs) fabricated on glass substrates by the hydrothermal method and the fabrication of Li-doped ZnO NR photodetectors. It was found that the as-grown Li-doped ZnO NRs were structurally equivalent to a wurtzite structure. The NRs had average diameters of ~1…
Two kinds of novel double-headed 2-pyrrolidone derivatives (DHNRPs) were designed for efficient recovery of UO22+ from HNO3 (aq) and its separation from tetravalent metal ions (M4+). The DHNRPs bearing butylene or p-xylylene bridging moiety have successfully precipitated sparingly soluble [UO2(NO3)2(DHNRP)]n, while th…
A novel visible-light-responsive photocatalyst consisting of gold nanoparticles and perylene adsorbed on silica gel (Au/Pe/SiO2) has been developed. By comparing the reduction of an environmental pollutant in the presence of Au/Pe/SiO2 and sodium borohydride by visible light irradiation to that in the dark, the effect…
Worldwide, papaya is a highly consumed fruit; however, they are very susceptible to the attack of the fungus Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. The fungal cell wall has mostly chitin, which is degraded by the chitinases enzymes that are synthesized as part of the plant's defence system. For diagnose a fungal disease, it…
Nanopillar defects in NaNbO 3 induce a large piezoelectric response at high electric fields
The complexity and high sensitivity of proteins to environmental factors give rise to a multitude of variables, which affect the stabilization mechanisms in protein foams. Interfacial and foaming properties of proteins have been widely studied, but the reported unique effect of pH, which can be of great interest to ap…
Abstract In the synthetic leather industry, solvent‐free polyurethane film (SFPU) was poor in water vapor permeability (WVP) and washability. In this study, we introduced the hollow nano‐TiO2 spheres (HNTSs) with high photocatalytic performance and permeability performance as well as large surface area into the SFPU f…
Two different octadentate gadolinium chelates based on DO3A and DOTAGA chelates (hydration number q = 1) have been used to prepare a series of bi-, tri-, and tetrametallic d–f mixed-metal complexes. The piperazine-based dithiocarbamate linker ensures that rotation of the gadolinium chelates is restricted, leading to e…
The structural, electronic, elastic, lattice dynamical properties and pressure-induced phase transitions in ThN2, Th2N3, and Th3N4 have been investigated through density functional theory based electronic band structure calculations. Our theoretical calculations on ThN2 reveal the monoclinic structure (C2/m space grou…
Abstract In this work, graphitic carbon nitride/copper‐iron oxide (CN@CIO) composites were prepared via in‐situ thermal condensation of dicyandiamide onto CIO. The activity of the as‐prepared catalyst to degrade ciprofloxacin (CIP) was investigated systematically in the dark Fenton reaction. With the increase in the c…
Abstract Structural biomimicry is a fascinating concept to explore hierarchically organized nanomaterials for mechanical structures, catalysis, sensing, and energy storage applications. Here we report the fabrication of biomimetic mesoporous cobalt ferrite/carbon nanoflake materials with helical morphologies and evalu…
Diamond films are candidate for a wide range of applications, due to their wide band gap, high thermal conductivity, and chemical stability. In this report, diamond-based heterojunction diodes (HJDs) were fabricated by growing n-type nanocarbon composite in the form of nitrogen-doped ultrananocrystalline diamond/amorp…
In this work, we used cathodic microarc plasma electrolysis (CMPE) to degrade 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) in simulated wastewater. By investigating and comparing the removal efficiencies and chemical oxygen demand (COD) during the degradation process, higher bath voltage and alkaline condition were considered as more…
Abstract Molecular recognition features (MoRFs) are common in intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) and intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs). MoRFs are in constant order–disorder structural transitions and adopt well-defined structures once they are bound to their targets. Here, we study Escargot (Esg), a transc…
A new compound [Gd(H2O)4(HIA)2(NO3)](2NO3) (1; HIA is isonicotinic acid) is reported. The Gd3+ cation is coordinated by eight oxygen atoms and exhibit a square antiprismatic GdO8 geometry. A three-dimensional (3-D) supramolecular framework is formed by hydrogen bond interactions. The photoluminescence absorption peak…
This work investigates the electrochemical dynamics and performance of additively manufactured composite electrolytes for resistive switching. Devices are comprised of a Ag/AgI–Al2O3/Pt stack, where the solid state electrolyte is additively manufactured using extrusion techniques. AgI–Al2O3 composite electrolytes are…
A novel one-dimensional zigzag chain-like CoII coordination polymer constructed from 4,4′-bipyridine (4,4′-bpy) and 2-hydroxybenzoate (2-OHbenz) ligands, namely, catena-poly[[(4,4′-bipyridine-κN)(μ-2-hydroxybenzoato-κ2 O:O′)(2-hydroxybenzoato-κ2 O,O′)cobalt(II)]-μ-4,4′-bipyridine-κ2 N:N′-[aquahemi(μ-4,4′-bipyridine-κ2…
