The effects of racemization of aspartic acid on triple-helical formation have been studied using a "host-guest" peptide approach where selected guest Gly-Xaa-Yaa triplets were included within a common acetyl-(Gly-Pro-Hyp)3-Gly-Xaa-Yaa-(Gly-Pro-Hyp)4-Gly-Gly-amide frame-work. Four guest triplets, Gly-Asp-Hyp and Gly-As…

The interface between tetragonal Nd2Fe14B phase and Nd-rich grain boundary phase in Nd–Fe–B sintered magnets was investigated with high resolution transmission electron microscope. Selected area diffraction patterns of the Nd-rich phase can be indexed by face-centered-cubic (fcc) structure with the lattice constant of…

We use a combination of single nanoparticle luminescence and scanning force microscopy to determine the quantum efficiency (QE) of single porous Si nanoparticles and to determine the ratio of luminescent nanoparticles deposited on a silica surface to the total nanoparticles. An estimate of the QE of bulk porous Si bas…

We have measured the velocity of a running crack in brittle single crystal silicon as a function of energy flow to the crack tip. The experiments are designed to permit direct comparison with molecular dynamics simulations; therefore the experiments provide an indirect but sensitive test of interatomic potentials. Per…

Large twist-angle grain boundaries in layered structures are often described by Scherk's first surface, whereas small twist-angle grain boundaries are usually described in terms of an array of screw dislocations. We show that there is no essential distinction between these two descriptions and that, in particular, the…

We briefly introduce hysteresis in spatially extended systems and the dynamic phase transition observed as the frequency of the oscillating field increases beyond a critical value. Hysteresis and the decay of metastable phases are closely related phenomena, and a dynamic phase transition can occur only for field ampli…

A previously unreported ferroelectric phase has been discovered in a highly homogeneous sample of PbZr0.52Ti0.48O3 by high-resolution synchrotron x-ray powder diffraction measurements. At ambient temperature the sample has tetragonal symmetry (at=4.037 Å, ct=4.138 Å), and transforms below ∼250 K into a phase which, un…

Electroconductive polychloroprene (CR)–polyaniline (Pani) composites were prepared by swelling the vulcanized rubber material in aniline followed by immersing the specimen in an aqueous solution of HCl containing ammonium persulfate as the oxidant. The results obtained from surface and volume conductivity, scanning el…

The effects of SrTiO3 content on the electromagnetic properties and electromagnetic wave-absorbing characteristics of SrTiO3–epoxy composites were investigated. Also, the frequency dispersion behavior of the complex permittivity of composites was demonstrated. The complex permittivity and permeability were measured us…

PVC is often used in food packaging and blood bags. This study concerns mass transfers between plasticized PVC, having been subjected to a treatment, and liquid food or food simulants. The treatment reduces the diffusion of the plasticizer and the influence of some factors of this processing are investigated. A mathem…

CO2 sorption and diffusion in poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) and three poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) copolymers were investigated gravimetrically at temperatures from 25° to 50°C and pressures up to 1 atm. The sorption behavior proved to be linear for all the copolymers studied. An additional set of measuremen…
