The structure, dynamics, and strength of aqueous boehmite gels were studied by yield stress measurements and light scattering as a function of the particle aspect ratio and ionic strength. The yield stress was found to be a strongly varying function of the salt concentration. At low ionic strength, yield stress result…

Several possibilities are presented to deal with nonlinearity in ferromagnetic media in the case of time harmonic excitation in steady state, without losing simplicity in describing the potentials by means of complex peak values. The main idea is to introduce a fictitious time independent and inhomogeneous material to…

The efficiency of the H2O2 oxidation of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (TCP) catalyzed by iron tetrasulfophthalocyanine (FePcS) is highly dependent on the pH value of the reaction mixture, the local hydrogen peroxide concentration and the organization of FePcS molecules in solution. Among the several forms of FePcS in aqueous…

The heat capacity of poly-p-dioxanone (PPDX), (CH2‒CH2‒O‒CH2‒COO‒)x, was determined using both differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and temperature-modulated DSC (TMDSC) from 200 K to 430 K. Based on the new data and literature data, the heat capacity of the solid state was analyzed using an approximate group vibra…

We discuss the method for measuring surface charge density accumulated on the surface of a solid dielectric (insulating specimen) such as a supporting spacer in gas and vacuum insulated equipment. For such thick specimens, the probe response does not correspond to the charge density directly below the probe, so the me…

Local spin-density calculations are used to investigate the relationship between lattice distortions, magnetic ordering, and electronic properties in manganite perovskites. Lattice distortions are found to open pseudogaps at the middle of the majority spin ${e}_{g}$ manifold, which are more directly related to rotatio…

Calmodulin (CaM) is a primary Ca2+-binding protein found in all eukaryotic cells. It couples the intracellular Ca2+ signal to many essential cellular events by binding and regulating the activities of more than 40 different proteins and enzymes in a Ca2+-dependent manner. CaM contains two structurally similar domains…
