PURPOSE: A phase II study of liposomal doxorubicin was conducted in patients with ovarian cancer who failed to respond to platinum- and paclitaxel-based regimens. Liposomal doxorubicin was selected as a result of its superior activity against ovarian cancer xenografts relative to free doxorubicin and activity in refra…
Thermoelectrics is an old field. In 1823, Thomas Seebeck discovered that a voltage drop appears across a sample that has a temperature gradient. This phenomenon provided the basis for thermocouples used for measuring temperature and for thermoelectric power generators. In 1838, Heinrich Lenz placed a drop of water on…
Abstract Analysis of the nonisothermal melt and cold crystallization kinetics of poly(aryl ether ether ketone ketone) (PEEKK) was performed by using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The Avrami equation modified by Jeziorny could describe only the primary stage of nonisothermal crystallization of PEEKK. And, th…
The microphase transition in a styrene-butadiene-styrene triblock copolymer was studied by rheometric mechanical spectroscopy. A high-temperature-melt rheological transition from the highly elastic, nonlinear viscous behavior typical of a multiphase structure to linear viscous behavior with insignificant elasticity ty…
The mechanochemistry of a novel economical solid-state shear extrusion (SSSE) pulverization is investigated. SSSE compatibilizes incompatible blends in situ; the process has great potential in recycling of post-consumer plastic waste (PCPW). It is proposed that SSSE causes this self-compatibilization of blends by rupt…
The thermal behavior and dynamic mechanical properties of isotactic polypropylene (PP) and reactor blend PP/ethylene-propylene copolymer (EPM), reinforced with different amounts of short glass fibers (GF) and/or polyester fibers (PETF), were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and dynamic mechanica…
Interchain hopping of solitons and polarons in polyacetylene is studied by numerical simulation of their motion under an electric field. Use is made of the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model supplemented with intrachain electron-electron interactions and dopant potentials. We find that charged solitons can hop to the opposite…
The author reports efficient upconversion optical pumping of the 3P levels of Pr3+ in ZBLAN glass codoped with Yb3+. Measurements of Pr3+ visible emission against infrared pump intensity demonstrate the existence of an avalanche pumping process which comprises three components: radiationless energy transfer from Yb3+…
Abstract The induced magnetic anisotropy differs from the ordinary magnetic anisotropy discussed in Chapter 12, in that the induced anisotropy is produced by a treatment (often an annealing treatment) that has directional characteristics. Not only the magnitude but also the easy axis of the anisotropy can be altered b…
We present a rigorous formulation of generalized Kohn-Sham density-functional theory. This provides a straightforward Kohn-Sham description of many-body systems based not only on particle-density but also on any other observable. We illustrate the formalism for the case of a particle-density based description of a non…

Defect electrons (holes) play an important role in most technologically important complex oxides; many of which possess perovskite-related structures. In this contribution we present the first detailed characterization of localized hole states in such materials. Our investigations employ advanced embedded-cluster calc…

<div class="htmlview paragraph">Hydrocarbon emissions during cold start and subsequent engine warm-up constitute the majority of hydrocarbons emitted during an FTP test. Reducing HC emissions during this portion of the test is necessary to meet current and future HC emissions regulations. This paper summarizes t…

These experiments were carried out in a quiescent N<s…
<div class="htmlview paragraph">Catalytic performance can be improved by increasing geometric surface area (GSA) and reducing bulk density (BD), namely heat capacity, using high cell-density / thinwall advanced ceramic substrates. The advanced substrates, such as 3 mil/600 cpsi and 2 mil/900 cpsi have improved t…
<div class="htmlview paragraph">It has been recently shown that (Ce, Zr)O<sub>2</sub> mixed oxides provide improved catalytic performances compared to pure CeO<sub>2</sub>. Cerium oxide is the active Oxygen Storage Capacity (OSC) component in three way catalysts. However, higher performan…
We report an experimental measurement of the temporal dependence of the area ${A}_{\mathrm{us}}$ in a two-dimensional soap froth which has not been swept by the passage of soap films up to time $t$, as the froth coarsens from an initial time ${t}_{0}$ within the scaling regime. We find ${A}_{\mathrm{us}}$ scales with…
The crystal structure of the layered perovskite ${\mathrm{La}}_{1.2}{\mathrm{Sr}}_{1.8}{\mathrm{Mn}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{7}$ has been studied under hydrostatic pressure up to $\ensuremath{\sim}6\mathrm{kbar}$, in the paramagnetic and ferromagnetic states, with neutron powder diffraction. The compressibility of the Mn-O a…
