We present a method to increase the second-harmonic generation (SHG) by an antiferromagnetic (AF) film for a fixed input power. This film is put between two different dielectrics, and an obliquely incident electromagnetic wave is used to generate the second-harmonic (SH) waves. This method can be considered as an exte…

Theories for magnetoelectric (ME) effects in a bilayer consisting of magnetostrictive film on piezoelectric substrate are discussed. The ME coupling at low frequencies and at mechanical resonance due to acoustic modes have been estimated and applied to the specific case of a thin film of permendur or nickel ferrite on…

The structure of Ga(2)O(3)(ZnO)(6) was determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques in the space group Cmcm. The metal ion sublattice resembles some of the Zn ions in the wurtzite ZnO structure. The oxygen ion sublattice in Ga(2)O(3)(ZnO)(6) also resembles some of the O ions in ZnO. Structural relation…

Vascular disrupting agents (VDAs) are able to affect selectively tumour endothelial cell morphology resulting in vessel occlusion and widespread tumour cell necrosis. However, single-agent antitumour activity of VDAs is typically limited, as tumour regrowth occurs rapidly following drug treatment. To improve the thera…

Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) synthase from Pseudomonas sp 61-3 (PhaC1(Ps)) is able to synthesize P(3HB-co-3HA), consisting of a 3HB unit and medium-chain-length 3HA units of 6-12 carbon atoms. Expression vectors encoding 76 PhaC1(Ps) mutants with an amino acid replacement at position 130, 325, 477 or 481 were individual…

This study investigates the formation of linear polymer grafts using thiol-acrylate conjugate addition reactions on nanoparticle surfaces. Silica nanoparticles were first modified with an amine functionality, followed by the attachment of a photocleavable acrylate. Dithiol-diacrylate films were attached to the particl…

Lithium nitrate has been used to prevent and to mediate the expansion caused by alkali‐silica reaction (ASR). However, there is limited information on how it affects the existing reaction products caused by ASR. The aim of the present work is to determine the modifications caused by the LiNO 3 treatment on the structu…

In the presence of the charged impurities, we study the weak localization effect by evaluating the quantum interference correction to the conductivity of Dirac fermions in graphene. With the inelastic scattering rate due to electron-electron interactions obtained from our previous work, we investigate the dependence o…

Abstract Wasserstoffperoxid wird heutzutage durch einen indirekten Prozess produziert, der auf der sequenziellen Hydrierung und Oxidation eines Alkylanthrachinons beruht. Auf diese Weise werden der Wasserstoff und Sauerstoff während des Produktionsprozesses voneinander getrennt gehalten. Ein Prozess, in dem molekulare…

The approach of designing cloaks with arbitrary shapes was investigated. The coordinate transformation was considered as a homeomorphous topological mapping and the related geometrical description was proposed by introducing position surfaces and tracing lines. Then an approximation approach was presented, which consi…

Spider dragline silk is primarily composed of proteins called major ampullate spidroins (MaSps) that consist of a large repeat array flanked by nonrepetitive N- and C-terminal domains. Until recently, there has been little evidence for more than one gene encoding each of the two major spidroin silk proteins, MaSp1 and…
