The presence of soluble organic material as well as high concentrations of suspended matter in waters and wastewaters affect the efficiency when chlorine is used as disinfection agent. The objective of our work is to explore to which extend ultrasonic treatment can facilitate wastewater disinfection with chlorine in o…
This report shows that Salmonella enterica catabolizes ethanolamine to acetyl-CoA (Ac-CoA), which enters the glyoxylate bypass and tricarboxylic acid cycle for the generation of energy and central metabolites. During growth on ethanolamine, S. enterica excreted acetate, whose recapture depended on Ac-CoA synthetase (A…
Acoustic-phonon transmission and thermal conductance in a double-bend quantum waveguide at low temperatures are investigated with the use of the scattering matrix method. The calculated results show that the total transmission coefficient versus the reduced phonon frequency exhibits a series of resonant peaks and dips…
Coplanar waveguide (CPW) metamaterials with varied left- (LH) and right-handed (RH) passbands are thoroughly studied in terms of per-unit-length transmission parameters and magnitude/phase of transmission coefficient, respectively. The two metamaterials are constructed by simultaneously loading the lumped or distribut…
Fully oxidized alpha-AlIIIW12O40(5-) (1ox), and one-electron-reduced alpha-AlIIIW12O40(6-) (1red), are well-behaved (stable and free of ion pairing) over a wide range of pH and ionic-strength values at room temperature in water. Having established this, 27Al NMR spectroscopy is used to measure rates of electron exchan…
The driver for lean NO x treatment is the need to meet regulatory standards for diesel engines and gasoline direct injection spark‐ignited engines that offer better fuel economy. Efforts over the last decade have been focused toward finding an active lean NO x catalyst that can reduce NO x under oxidizing conditions o…
Amidos de milho contendo aproximadamente 72 e 100 % de amilopectina foram convertidos em amidos termoplásticos por processamento em um misturador intensivo a 160 ºC, usando glicerol como plastificante. Os amidos termoplásticos foram condicionados em ambiente de 53 ± 2% u.r. e caracterizados por medidas de absorção de…
The case of disappearing/late-appearing stable polymorphs and their impact is well-understood by scientists in the pharmaceutical industry. This paper discusses an instance where a more stable crystal form was discovered during the development of a fast-track drug candidate. Challenges in adapting to the discovery of…
To improve the biocompatibility of silicon-based implantable micro- and nanodevices, and to tailor silicon surfaces for controlled cell immobilization, well-defined functional polymer-Si(111) hybrids, consisting of nearly monodispersed poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate [P(HEMA)] with covalently coupled collagen and tet…
We constructed ultraviolet (UV) photodetectors using thin films of silicon nanoparticles as active media. The Si nanoparticle films are electrodeposited at room temperature on Si p-type substrates. Uniform silicon nanoparticles of 1-nm diameter are dispersed from Si wafers using electrochemical etching. The nanopartic…
Molecular dynamics simulations of model miscible polymer blends consisting of 1,4-polybutadiene (PBD) (slow component) and PBD chains with reduced or eliminated dihedral barriers (fast component) have been performed in order to study the influence of blending on segmental relaxation processes in the fast component. We…
Stoichiometric BaTiO3 ceramics fabricated from sol-gel-derived powders and sintered at temperatures ⩽1100°C are highly insulating and electrically homogeneous. At higher sintering temperatures, samples gradually lose oxygen and the conductivity increases as a consequence. The latter phenomena are very sensitive to the…
The coercive field $({E}_{c})$ of $\mathrm{Pb}({\mathrm{Zr}}_{0.55}{\mathrm{Ti}}_{0.45}){\mathrm{O}}_{3}$ film was experimentally observed showing a paraboliclike relationship with grain size $d$. The curvature of ${E}_{c}\ensuremath{-}d$ increased as the film thickness decreased. A phenomenological theory was develop…
The evolution of the domain structure in lead zirconate titanate ceramics in the course of polarization fatigue is investigated by piezoresponse force microscopy. It is found that fatigue results in a strong modification of the domain structure. The domain patterns initially consisting of mainly 180° domains split int…
Reduction of [(triphos)NiCl2] (1) with an excess of NaBH4 in THF produces the paramagnetic Ni(I) complex [(triphos)Ni(eta2-BH4)] (2). X-ray crystallography shows 1 to be a square-planar Ni(II) species in which the phosphine ligand is bidentate, whereas 2 has pseudotetrahedral geometry at the Ni(I) center, with a tride…
The time-dependent morphology development in a segmented polyurethane, which was prepared by the reaction of equimolar amounts of 1,4-phenylene diisocyanate ( p PDI) and poly(tetramethylene oxide)glycol of 〈 M n 〉 of 975 g/mol, was investigated. No chain extender was utilized during the synthesis, and the resultant mo…
We report the enhanced thermoelectric properties of PbTe alloyed with antimony telluride (Sb2Te3). The resistivities and absolute values of the Seebeck coefficient for PbTe alloyed with Sb2Te3 increase while the thermal conductivities decrease with rising temperature. A maximum figure of merit, ZT, of 1.17 has been ac…
Successful reconstruction of large-diameter blood vessel in humans has been demonstrated using the tissue engineering technique, but improvement in patency of small-diameter bioartificial vascular graft remains a great challenge. This study reports that granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) can enhance in vivo…
Polycrystalline nickel based superalloys are prone to grain boundary attack by atmospheric oxygen either in the form of time dependent intergranular cracking during dwell time within a low cycle fatigue loading spectrum, known as hold time cracking, or in the form of intercrystalline oxidation at higher temperatures.…
This paper provides an overview of the mechanisms of high frequency (HF) loss in shielded power cables and discusses the challenges in the measurements of cable material properties at HF.
