Using a first-principles plane-wave pseudopotential method, the geometric and electronic structures of ${\mathrm{Ti}}_{2}\mathrm{Al}X$ $(X=V,$ Nb, or Ta) are investigated. The supercells of ${\mathrm{Ti}}_{2}\mathrm{Al}X$ are constructed by replacing certain Ti atoms in ${\ensuremath{\alpha}}_{2}\ensuremath{-}{\mathrm…

The flux of fatty acids toward beta-oxidation was analyzed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae by monitoring polyhydroxyalkanoate synthesis in the peroxisome from the polymerization, by a bacterial polyhydroxyalkanoate synthase, of the beta-oxidation intermediates 3-hydroxyacyl-CoAs. Synthesis of polyhydroxyalkanoate was depe…

We have carried out a study on the supramolecular liquid crystal organisation shown by LC dendrimers. This study has allowed us to draw interesting conclusions about the molecular plasticity of this type of dendromesogens and even to predict the mesogenic behaviour of higher generations of homologous dendrimers or sim…

Ohmic contacts with low contact resistivity were formed on phosphorus-doped n -type {111} diamond thin films grown by microwave-plasma chemical-vapor deposition. Heavily-doped diamond layers were selectively grown on a diamond substrate by covering a part of substrate surface with a titanium/gold layer. Gold contacts…

In this report, we describe a laser-latex combination system that enables membrane-impermeable molecules to penetrate cell membranes. Laser light (Q-switched Nd:YAG laser, 532.5 nm) was used to irradiate a mixture of commercial latex particles (blue dyed, 1 micro m in diameter) and mouse fibrosarcoma (Meth-A) cells. A…

We studied theoretically the interaction of simple aliphatic amines with carboxylated zigzag and armchair single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) models. We used single-level MM+ molecular mechanics and the AM1 semiempirical method to study noncovalent interactions. To study the model amidation reaction with methylamine,…

ABSTRACT: Films based on whey protein isolate (WPI) were formed using compression molding. Compression molded films could be formed using 30% to 50% moisture content or glycerol content WPI at 104 °C to 160 °C for 2 min. Films made from water‐WPI mixtures were brittle and insoluble and had water‐vapor permeability val…

In this review, the control of size and shape of inorganic nanocrystals via colloidal solution is discussed. The nanocrystals are organized in 2D and 3D superlattices with formation of ‘supra’ crystals in fcc structure. Physical properties of nanocrystals organized in mesoscopic scale are neither those of the isolated…

Fully dense, doped ZnO varistors were prepared using an easy two‐stage pressureless‐sintering method at temperatures as low as 825°C, with a grain size of ∼0.5 μm. After the highly nonohmic ZnO varistors were sintered, their fine microstructure consisted of uniformly sized grains, small spinel grains with partially di…

We show that finite-size scaling techniques can be employed to study the glass transition. Our results follow from the postulate of a diverging dynamical correlation length at the glass transition whose physical manifestation is the presence of dynamical heterogeneities. We introduce a parameter B(T,L) whose temperatu…

We present the circuit equivalent of the Landau-Khalatnikov dynamical ferroelectric model. The differential equation for hysteretic behavior is subject to numerical computer simulations. The size and shape of the simulated hysteretic loops depend strongly on the frequency and the amplitude of the driving electric fiel…

This study investigates the influence of cyclic tensile strain, applied to fully contracted fibroblast-seeded collagen constructs. The constructs were preloaded to either 2 or 10 mN. The preloaded constructs were subsequently subjected to a further 10% cyclic strain (0-10%) at 1 Hz, using a triangular waveform, or wer…

Galactokinase plays a key role in normal galactose metabolism by catalyzing the ATP-dependent phosphorylation of alpha-D-galactose to galactose 1-phosphate. In humans, mutations in the galactokinase gene can lead to the diseased state referred to as Type II galactosemia. Here we describe the three-dimensional structur…
