Combined quantum mechanical and molecular mechanical (QM/MM) methods are the most powerful available methods for high-level treatments of subsystems of very large systems. The treatment of the QM-MM boundary strongly affects the accuracy of QM/MM calculations. For QM/MM calculations having covalent bonds cut by the QM…

A new constitutive model for human trabecular bone is presented in the present study. As the model is based on indentation tests performed on single trabeculae it is formulated in a microscale. The constitutive law takes into account non-linear viscoelasticity of the tissue. The elastic response is described by the hy…

Abstract A glass melt with the composition 24Bi 2 O 3 /40TiO 2 /10SiO 2 /10Nd 2 O 3 /16 Al 2 O 3 was prepared and rapidly quenched between two copper blocks (sample A). A part of this glass was subsequently crystallised at 800 °C for 8 h (sample B). For the preparation of another two samples, the melt was slowly coole…

Time‐domain waveforms of sound pressure pulses generated by alternate current (AC) corona discharge from single corona sources are measured. The pulse amplitude and time interval of sound pressure pulses in positive and negative half cycles are analysed separately due to large differences of the sound pressure pulses…

Abstract A method was developed for introducing metallic nanoparticles (nanoAg and nanoAu) into cosmetic compositions (shampoos and soaps). Embedding of silver or gold nanoparticles into the composition imparts antimicrobial activity. Physicochemical properties of the prepared formulations were characterized. To confi…

The transition metal dichalcogenide ($M{X}_{2}$, where $M=\mathrm{Mo}$, W and $X=\mathrm{S}$, Se, Te) monolayers are of high interest for semiconducting applications at the nanoscale level; this interest is due to both their direct band gaps and high charge mobilities. In this regard, an in-depth understating of the r…

A study of TiO2(rod)-SiO2 composites coated with polyaniline (PANI) has been performed. PANI was synthesized through in-situ polymerization of aniline at various concentration (0.0137, 0.0274, and 0.0411 M) on the composite under acidic condition. PANI was confirmed by the appearance of C=N, C=C vibrations and the red…

Although chemical space is vast, there are many instances where chemical modifications make only insignificant changes in the current that passes through a molecule. This insensitivity comes, in part, from the energy mismatch between the molecular resonances and the Fermi level of the electrodes used. Here, we present…
