Tungsten is a promising candidate for plasma-facing materials in fusion reactors. In this work, two types of W materials were investigated: (i) sintered and forged tungsten (ITER-grade Japan, grain sizes 2–100 μm, elongated normal to the surface) and (ii) the same W grade, but after additional re-crystallization (at 2…

For many macromolecular NMR ensembles from the Protein Data Bank (PDB) the experiment-based restraint lists are available, while other experimental data, mainly chemical shift values, are often available from the BioMagResBank. The accuracy and precision of the coordinates in these macromolecular NMR ensembles can be…

Abstract Photocyclization reaction of 1,2-bis(2-methyl-3-benzothienyl)perfluorocyclopentene (BT) in methanol was studied by using nanosecond laser flash photolysis at 296 K. When xanthone was used as a triplet sensitizer, the triplet energy transfer occurred efficiently and the closed-ring product of BT was observed.

Layers of tetragonal ZrO 2 (180 nm) were prepared on the surfaces of ferritic steel specimens by dip coating and electrolytic deposition techniques. These methods were selected because of their applicability to large and complicated structures. Hydrogen permeation tests were carried out at 300–550 °C, and the results…

We report a molecular dynamics study on non-equilibrium dynamics of polyelectrolyte brushes under external electric fields. In this work, the effects of chain stiffness and salt concentration on static and dynamic responses of the brushes are addressed in detail. Our simulations indicate that varying these parameters…

Single natural fibers have rather high mechanical properties; especially, Young’s modulus can be as high as for E-glass fibers. However, the good properties of natural fibers are not exploited efficiently in existing applications. Continuous fibers are required for high-performance applications. Filament winding is a…

Ion-exchange microspheres (IEMs) are widely employed in controlled drug delivery of ionic drugs due to their high loading capacity and the possibility to obtain the controlled release of the loaded drug(s) at a specific site. Among IEMs, DC Bead(™) are embolic microdevices (100-300 μm diameter) designed for transarter…

We discuss the well-known limitations in the retrieval of homogenized constitutive parameters based on reflection and transmission from metamaterial slabs arising near the Fabry-Perot resonances of the samples under analysis. The associated artifacts can significantly affect the retrieval results, causing Lorentzian-l…

We present a simple and cost-effective method for rendering networks of cellulose fibers, such as paper, fabrics or membranes, superparamagnetic by impregnating the individual fibers with a reactive acrylic monomer. The cellulose fibers are wetted by a cyanoacrylate monomer solution containing superparamagnetic mangan…

BACKGROUND: Nowadays, many cytotoxic anticancer drugs exhibit low solubility and poor tumor selectivity, which means that the drug formulation is very important. For example, in the case of paclitaxel (PTX), Cremophor EL(®) (BASF, Ludwigshafen, Germany) needs to be used as a solubilizer in its clinical formulation (Ta…

PURPOSE: The failure of cancer treatments is partly due to the enrichment of cancer stem-like cells (CSLCs) that are resistant to conventional chemotherapy. A novel micelle formulation of oxaliplatin (OXA) encapsulated in chitosan vesicle was developed. The authors postulate that micelle encapsulation of OXA would eli…
