We study a small system of spherically confined hard spheres using the Widom particle insertion method as an indicator for the ordering transition. By Monte Carlo simulations we determine the insertion probability as a function of the number of particles and the box size. We find an increase of the insertion probabili…

The effect of MCM-41 on the ESR spectrum of an aqueous spin probe solution was observed. The sharp ESR spectrum turns into a rather broad characteristic one leaving a sharper signal as the minor component, immediately after the addition of MCM-41 powder to the system. This observation indicates that MCM-41 traps the s…

BACKGROUND: The alkaline protease from Pseudomonas aeruginosa (AprA) is a member of the metzincin superfamily of metalloendoproteases. A key feature of these proteases is a conserved methionine-containing 1,4-tight beta turn at the base of the active site zinc binding region. RESULTS: To explore the invariant methioni…

A network of screw dislocations was artificially created in SrTiO3, and characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Slight expansion of the dislocation core was observed by TEM. The composition of the dislocation core was quantified by electron energy loss spectroscopy, which reveals a 13±5% Ti∕O ratio in…

A single step sol-gel process was used to precipitate silica microspheres containing ibuprofen or naproxen for controlled drug delivery applications. The drug release behavior from these systems was analyzed in vitro. Pure ibuprofen and naproxen exhibited linear release with time, while sol-gel silica entrapped drugs…

Abstract The first example of a porphyrin‐quinonoid donor–acceptor triad featuring (tetraphenylporphinato)zinc( II ) moieties covalently attached to an oxoporphyrinogen through its macrocyclic nitrogen atoms is reported. This arrangement of chromophores results in an interesting interplay between the electron‐donating…

One of the essential parts in the molecular mechanism of biological properties is the structural changes of proteins induced by stimuli. An amphiphilic copolymer, poly(L-leucine) grafted polyallylamine as a simple model of proteins, has been prepared by NCA polymerization with free amino groups of polyallylamine as an…

Abstract An overview is given on the electronic and optical properties of Si and Ge nanocrystals. We model free‐standing Si and Ge nanocrystals passivated with H, with up to 363 group‐IV atoms and 276 H and oxidized nanocrystals with additional silicon oxide shells, e.g. Si 41 (O 60 Si 42 )(O 108 Si 64 )H 148 . The re…

Deformation twinning occurs in various materials including metals, intermetallics, ceramics, superconductors, and even geological systems. The rate of twin growth depends on the material system, but there are no crystallographic models to understand the mechanisms of slow twin growth. The physics of twin growth is pre…

Pd black was exposed to ethylene alone or in its mixture with hydrogen at 300 and 573 K. The samples were investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS). Room temperature introduction of C(2)H(4) (also in the presence of H(2)) induced a binding-energy (BE) shift…
