Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become an indispensable tool in the diagnosis and treatment of many diseases, especially cancer. However, the poor sensitivity of MRI relative to other imaging modalities, such as PET, has hindered the development and clinical use of molecular MRI contrast agents that could provide…

In a previous report, a new method for quantitative phase analysis (QPA) of multi-component mixtures using a conventional X-ray powder diffractometer was proposed. The formula for deriving weight fractions of individual crystalline phases presented therein includes sets of observed integrated intensities measured in a…

In this work it is shown that CaZnOS:Eu 2+ has no Eu 2+ emission even at low temperature. The observed and earlier reported red emission originates from a CaS:Eu 2+ impurity phase. By means of washing the as-prepared samples with diluted nitride acid, we were able to remove the CaS impurity phase and study the Eu2+ em…

Abstract The structure and bonding of a Pr‐doped boron cluster (PrB 7 − ) are investigated using photoelectron spectroscopy and quantum chemistry. The adiabatic electron detachment energy of PrB 7 − is found to be low [1.47(8) eV]. A large energy gap is observed between the first and second detachment features, indica…

To improve the therapeutic index of cisplatin (CDDP), we present here a new paradigm of drug-induced self-assembly by harnessing phosphato-platinum complexation. Specifically, we show that a phosphato-platinum cross-linked micelle (PpY/Pt) can be generated by using a block copolymer methoxy-poly(ethylene glycol)- bloc…

Abstract The absorption spectra of monolayer tinene in perpendicular electric fields are studied by the tight-binding model. There are three kinds of special structures, namely shoulders, logarithmical symmetric peaks and asymmetric peaks in the square-root form, corresponding to the optical excitations of the extreme…

Over the last decades, power disturbances have become an important factor on the increase throughout electrical networks, which can exert an important influence over power quality ratios. Amongst them, it is worth mentioning ferroresonance, which is a special case of resonance involving non-linear inductances that mai…

This study uses a reactive extrusion for the grafting of maleic anhydride on polylactic acid in order to form polylactic acid grafted maleic anhydride that serves as a compatibilizer between polylactic acid and carbon fiber. The effects of different ratios of the free radical initiator to maleic anhydride as well as t…

We investigate the effects of hydrophobic silica nanoparticles (SNs) on blue-phase liquid crystals (BPLCs). The optical microscope and reflection spectra observation reveal that a tiny hydrophobic SN dopant stabilises the BPLC phase, and widens the temperature range of the BP I phase. Furthermore, the doped dilute SNs…

Using ab initio molecular dynamics, we present a systematic study of structural and transport properties of liquid Al90Zn10 and Al83Zn10Cr7 alloys. In the liquid phase, we find that Cr additions promote the formation of a heterogeneous local ordering characterized by a strong five-fold symmetry (icosahedral short-rang…
