Equilibrium structural properties of polymer brushes formed by dendritic polymer chains (dendrons) are studied by means of Scheutjens−Fleer self-consistent field (SF-SCF) modeling and scaling analysis. Limiting cases of minimal and maximal possible losses of conformational entropy corresponding to different assumption…
The aim of this study was to determine the photocatalytic effects of zinc oxide (ZnO) NPs in combination with UVA-1 in human head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) cell lines in vitro. NP characteristics and intracellular distribution were described by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). After pre-incubatio…
We use stochastic Monte Carlo simulation following the bond fluctuation model to study the effects of grafting density of surface-anchored initiators and solvent quality on controlled radical polymerization (CRP) from flat impenetrable substrates under good and poor solvent conditions. Our CRP model includes a mechani…
BACKGROUND: The prognosis of acute lymphoblastic leukemia in the elderly is poor. The GRAALL-SA1 phase II, randomized trial compared the efficacy and toxicity of pegylated liposomal doxorubicin versus continuous-infusion doxorubicin in patients 55 years or older with Philadelphia chromosome-negative acute lymphoblasti…
H2 & Co.: A new pincer complex of CoII has been synthesized. Reduction of this complex in the absence of additional ligands results in the formation of a highly reactive mercury-bridged dicobalt species (1). Subsequent introduction of H2 at low temperature allows the observation of a rare dihydrogen complex of Co (2).…
Rare‐earth (RE) (Eu 3+ , Gd 3+ , Tb 3+ , and Dy 3+ )‐doped BiFeO 3 (BFO) ceramics were prepared by a modified solid‐state reaction method, which adopted higher heating as well as cooling rates during sintering process. All the fabricated samples showed ferroelectric hysteresis loops with a remnant polarization of 21–3…
The combined use of the anion of phenyl(2-pyridyl)ketone oxime (ppko(-)) and azides (N(3)(-)) in nickel(II) carboxylate chemistry has afforded two new Ni(II)(5) clusters, [Ni(5)(O(2)CR')(2)(N(3))(4)(ppko)(4)(MeOH)(4)] [R' = H (1), Me (2)]. The structurally unprecedented {Ni(5)(μ-N(3))(2)(μ(3)-N(3))(2)}(6+) cores of th…
CdSe/CdS semiconductor nanocrystal heterostructures are currently of high interest for the peculiar electronic structure offering unique optical properties. Here, we show that nanorods and tetrapods made of such material combination enable efficient multiexcitonic emission, when the volume of the nanoparticle is maxim…
The oxidation of edible oil yields both primary and secondary oxidation products (e.g., hydroperoxides, carbonyls, hydrocarbons, and epoxides), which produce undesirable sensory and biological effects. Consequently, the suppression of lipid oxidation in food matrices is of great importance. The rate and extent of lipi…
We report a nanowire-based biofuel cell based on a single proton conductive polymer nanowire for converting chemical energy from biofluids, such as glucose/blood, into electricity, with glucose oxidase and laccase as catalyst. The glucose is supplied from the biofluid, the nanowire serves as the proton conductor, and…
A theoretical framework for dislocation dynamics in quasicrystals is provided according to the continuum theory of dislocations. Firstly, we present the fundamental theory for moving dislocations in quasicrystals giving the dislocation density tensors and introducing the dislocation current tensors for the phonon and…
We show that adsorption of one lithium atom to a polyacenes, i.e. chains of linearly fused benzene rings, will cause this chain to be slightly deformed. If we adsorb a second identical atom on the opposite side of the same ring, this deformation is dramatically enhanced despite of the fact, that a symmetric configurat…
Most different transparent grades of sintered and single crystalline spinel were investigated by Vickers and Knoop tests with loads of 1 kg (HK1, HV1) and of 10 kg (HV10). The hardness ranking of all samples was HK1<HV10<HV1. All measuring approaches revealed a negligible grain size effect from about 5 μm up to…
Swapping spheres: Monodisperse protein microspheres can be fabricated by templating on porous CaCO3 microcores (see picture; CaCO3 gray, insulin orange). The CaCO3 cores decompose upon variation of pH from 9.0 to 5.0, whereas the insulin model protein precipitates. The method requires mild conditions, no additives, an…
We show that the length of the alkyl chain of surface ligands can shift the equilibrium between the wurtzite and zinc blende polytypes of CdSe nanocrystals. In-situ wide-angle X-ray scattering measurements reveal that short-chain (e.g., propyl) phosphonic acids stabilize CdSe nanocrystals with the zinc blende phase wh…
Synthetic hydrocarbon fuels from CO2/H2O are proposed as alternatives to hydrogen as an energy carrier to enable a carbon neutral energy cycle, given their inherent advantages of high H/C ratio and convenience of storage and transportation. Here we demonstrate the successful electrochemical reduction of CO2 into CO an…
Inhomogeneous distribution of the pinning force in superconductor results in a magnetization asymmetry. A model considering the field distribution in superconductor was developed and symmetric and asymmetric magnetization loops of porous and textured Bi_{1.8}Pb_{0.3}Sr_{1.9}Ca_{2}Cu_{3}O_{x} were fitted. It is found t…
With a widely available magnetic field of 10 T, one can attain the quantum limit in bismuth and graphite. At zero magnetic field, these two elemental semi-metals host a dilute liquid of carriers of both signs. When the quantum limit is attained, all quasi-particles are confined to a few Landau tubes. Each time a Landa…
Gold nanoshell around super paramagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) was synthesized and small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) analysis suggests a gold coating of approximately 0.4 to 0.5 nm thickness. On application of low frequency oscillating magnetic fields (44 - 430 Hz), a four- to five-fold increase in the a…
Pure polypyrrole (PPy) nanoparticles that are well-applicable for nanocomposite and nanocarbon precursor were productively synthesized by necessarily unstirred oxidative polymerization of pyrrole in acidic aqueous media at 0 °C without any template. The species and concentration of acid and oxidant have been carefully…
