We investigate the linear and nonlinear electric polarizabilities of small Al 4 M 4 (M = Li, Na, and K) clusters. Quantum chemical calculations reveal that these compounds exhibit an exceptionally high magnitude of linear and nonlinear optical (NLO) coefficients which are orders of magnitude higher than the convention…

ABSTRACT: The effectiveness of Ag + ‐based antimicrobial film in inhibiting the growth of an Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris strain was assessed. The proposed active film was obtained by depositing via plasma an Ag‐containing polyethylenoxide‐like coating on a polyethylene layer. Tests were conducted at 44 °C, monito…

Liposomal drugs accumulate only in perivascular regions in tumors after i.v. injection. Thus, they cannot kill tumor cells in deeper tissue layers. To circumvent this problem, we investigated effects of doxorubicin (DOX) encapsulated in a lysolecithin-containing thermosensitive liposome (LTSL) on tumor microcirculatio…

Les crustacés possèdent une remarquable aptitude à élaborer de manière cyclique deux types de calcification : un squelette externe (ou cuticule) inextensible, mais également, chez de nombreuses espèces, en fonction de leur mode de vie, des dépôts transitoires de calcium. Ils sont ainsi sujets à une balance calcique se…

Abstract An overview of the state of the art in the direct oxygen or nitrogen insertion to aromatic rings and side‐chains by hydroxylation, acetoxylation, partial oxidation and ammoxidation is presented. The influence of a variety of catalysts and oxidants on the yields of hydroxylated products of aromatic species is…

A series of Sc-doped CdO (CSO) thin films have been grown on both amorphous glass and single-crystal MgO(100) substrates at 400 degrees C by MOCVD. Both the experimental data and theoretical calculations indicate that Sc3+ doping shrinks the CdO lattice parameters due to its relatively small six-coordinate ionic radiu…

The spin transition in LaCoO 3 is investigated by temperature-dependent resonant soft X-ray emission spectroscopy near the Co 2 p absorption edges. This element-specific technique is more bulk sensitive with respect to the temperature-induced spin state of the Co 3+ ions in LaCoO 3 than other high-energy spectroscopic…

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is capable of synthesizing polyhydroxyalkanoic acids (PHAs) and rhamnolipids, both of which are composed of 3-hydroxydecanoic acids connected by ester bonds, as well as synthesizing the biofilm matrix polymer alginate. In order to study the influence of PHA biosynthesis on rhamnolipid and algina…

The magnetic and dielectric properties of ferroelectromagnet (FEM) ${\mathrm{Pb}(\mathrm{Fe}}_{1∕2}{\mathrm{Nb}}_{1∕2}{)\mathrm{O}}_{3}$ (PFN) single crystals have been investigated. Anomalies in the dielectric constant as a function of temperature have been observed near its N\'eel temperature of $\ensuremath{\sim}14…

An experimental apparatus was constructed to measure the structural parameters of organic porous media, i.,e. mechanical strength, air-filled porosity, air permeability, and the Ergun particle size. These parameters are critical to the engineering of aerobic bioconversion systems and were measured for a straw--manure…

We present a systematic study on the exciton relaxation in high purity AlGaAs epilayers. The time for the excitonic photoluminescence to reach its maximum intensity (t_max) shows a non-monotonic dependence on excitation density which is attributed to a competition between exciton localization and carrier-carrier scatt…

We review the quantum theory of a single spin magnetic resonance force microscopy (MRFM). We concentrate on the novel technique called oscillating cantilever-driven adiabatic reversals (OSCAR), which has been used for a single spin detection (Dan Rugar, Talk on the 2004 IEEE NTC Quantum Device Technology Workshop).

The coupling between a current and a domain wall is examined. In the presence of a finite current and the absence of a potential which breaks the translational symmetry, there is a perfect transfer of angular momentum from the conduction electrons to the wall. As a result, the ground state is in uniform motion. This r…

We have measured thermoelectric power (TEP) as a function of hole concentration per CuO2 layer, Ppl, in Y1-xCaxBa2Cu3O6 (Ppl = x/2) with no oxygen in the Cu-O chain layer. The room-temperature TEP as a function of Ppl, S290(Ppl), of Y1-xCaxBa2Cu3O6 behaves identically to that of La2-zSrzCuO4 (Ppl = z). We argue that S…
