(Bi 1/2 Na 1/2 )TiO 3 (BNT) is a prominent candidate for a lead‐free piezoelectric material. In this study, BNT was synthesized using the solution/sol–gel method, in which a solution of Bi 2 O 3 and Na 2 CO 3 was dissolved in HNO 3 as starting materials. The solution then was mixed with ethylene glycol and titanium te…

Abstract The equimolar reaction of calcium bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)amide] with 2,2,6,6‐tetramethylheptane‐3,5‐dione (Htmhd) in THF yields liquid mononuclear [Ca(tmhd){N(SiMe 3 ) 2 }(THF) 3 ] ( 1 ). A similar reaction in toluene with a stoichiometric ratio of 2:3 gives the dinuclear complex [{(THF)Ca} 2 (tmhd) 2 (µ‐tmhd…

ABSTRACT: Water barrier properties of various edible films: acetylated monoglycerides (AMG), dark chocolate (DC), and wheat gluten (WG) were evaluated through water sorption isotherm, diffusivity, and permeability measurements. Diffusivity and sorption isotherm were then used in a mathematical model for predicting moi…

Raman scattering on bulk As x S1− x glasses shows that vibrational modes of As4S4 monomer first appear near x = 0.38, and their concentration increases precipitously with increasing x, suggesting that the stoichiometric glass (x = 0.40) is intrinsically phase separated into small As-rich (As4S4) and large S-rich clust…

A novel approach is proposed that quantifies the influence of parameter and control implementation uncertainties upon the states and outputs of finite-time control trajectories for nonlinear lumped and distributed parameter systems. The worst-case values of the states and outputs due to model parameter uncertainties a…

The fiber properties of lepidopteran silk depend on the amino acid repeats that interact during H-fibroin polymerization. The aim of our research was to relate repeat composition to insect biology and fiber strength. Representative regions of the H-fibroin genes were sequenced and analyzed in three pyralid species: wa…

Natural precipitates of metastable polymorphs of CaCO 3 , such as vaterite, are rarely found in nature however, they have been widely synthesized in laboratory under particular conditions (ie, supersaturated solutions, relative high temperatures, etc.). By SEM and XRD we recognize vaterite spherulites from culturable…

A sensor is described that takes advantage of highly specific RNA–protein interactions and the light‐harvesting properties of conjugated polymers. Coordination between a cationic conjugated polymer (CP + ) and a negatively charged protein–RNA complex results in efficient Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) from C…
