Abstract Monte Carlo simulations were used to identify the microphase morphologies of ABA triblock copolymer melts confined in a cylindrical nanotube. The influences of the volume fraction of mid‐block B ( f B ), the radius of nanotube ( R ) and the asymmetry of ABA triblock copolymer chain were discussed in detail. W…

ADP-l-glycero-d-manno-heptose 6-epimerase (HldD or AGME, formerly RfaD) catalyzes the inversion of configuration at C-6' ' of the heptose moiety of ADP-d-glycero-d-manno-heptose and ADP-l-glycero-d-manno-heptose. The epimerase HldD operates in the biosynthetic pathway of l-glycero-d-manno-heptose, which is a conserved…

Flax shive constitutes about 70% of the flax stem and has limited use. Because shive is a lignocellulosic by-product, it can potentially be pyrolyzed and activated to produce an activated carbon. The objective of this study was to create an activated carbon from flax shive by chemical activation in order to achieve si…

This paper presents a novel approach to assessing textile porosity by the application of the image analysis techniques. The images of different types of sample fabrics, taken through a microscope when the fabric is placed over a constant light source,transfer the problem into the image analysis domain. Indeed, porosit…

Trimethylacetic acid (TMAA) adsorption evolution on the rutile TiO 2 (110) surface from submonolayer to saturation coverages was examined at the atomic level by scanning tunneling microscopy using the same area analysis approach. Upon TMAA deprotonation, no evidence of terminal OH group formation has been found. It ha…

We have carried out an experimental and computational study on the ground- and excited-state photochemical and photophysical properties of (1-cyclohexenyl)phenyldiazene (CPD), a species formally derived from azobenzene in which one of the phenyl rings is replaced by a 1-cyclohexene substituent. The results show that C…

Current–voltage characteristics of Al lateral Schottky diodes fabricated on homoepitaxial diamond (100) films were analyzed. The currents in reverse-bias voltages smaller and larger than 3 V were well explained by the image-force lowering mechanism modified by localized-field enhancement and the thermionic-field emiss…

Abstract We present a study of the oxygen‐plasma functionalization of polyethersulphone (PES). PES samples were exposed to a weakly ionized, highly dissociated oxygen plasma, with an electron temperature of 5 eV and a positive ion density of 8 × 10 15 m −3 , and its afterglow, in which the density of charged particles…

The phase diagram of soft spheres with size dispersion is studied by means of an optimized Monte Carlo algorithm which allows us to equilibrate below the kinetic glass transition for all size distributions. The system ubiquitously undergoes a first-order freezing transition. While for a small size dispersion the froze…
