An effective-mass Hamiltonian is derived for carbon nanotubes in the presence of a weak spin-orbit interaction. The spin-orbit interaction gives rise to terms corresponding to a kind of a spin-Zeeman energy due to magnetic fields in the circumference and axis direction. As a result spin scattering is induced even by s…
A new process was developed to fabricate electrically conducting nylon 6/graphite nanocomposites via intercalation polymerization of ϵ-caprolactam in the presence of expanded graphite. The transition from an electrical insulator to an electrical semiconductor for nylon 6 occurred when the graphite volume content was 0…
New tissue engineering technologies will rely on biomaterials that physically support tissue growth and stimulate specific cell functions. The goal of this study was to create a biomaterial that combines inherent biological properties which can specifically trigger desired cellular responses (e.g., angiogenesis) with…

When a liquid drop impacts a solid, it spreads (with possibly beautiful fingering patterns) up to the point when kinetic energy is dissipated by viscosity. Then, it can retract (if the solid is partially wetted by the liquid), or not. A very different behaviour can be observed on highly hydrophobous solids. On such so…
The complete sequence of the Bombyx mori fibroin gene has been determined by means of combining a shotgun sequencing strategy with physical map-based sequencing procedures. It consists of two exons (67 and 15 750 bp, respectively) and one intron (971 bp). The fibroin coding sequence presents a spectacular organization…
Shape memory alloys (SMAs) have emerged as a class of materials with unique thermal and mechanical properties that have found numerous applications in various engineering areas. While the shape memory and pseudoelasticity effects have been extensively studied, only a few studies have been done on the high capacity of…
Peripher heterogene Dendrimere werden beschrieben, bei denen sowohl Ferrocen- als auch Cobaltocenium-Einheiten an der „Oberfläche”︁ von dendritischen Poly(propylenimin)-Gerüsten (siehe Bild) angebracht sind. Die Gegenwart der beiden redoxaktiven Gruppen ermöglicht Anwendungen der heterometallischen Dendrimere in amper…
As SMAs gain popularity for use as large force actuators, one constitutive parameter that becomes particularly important is the thermomechanical fatigue life, in addition to maximum transformation strain and stability of actuation cycles. Even though the effect of thermal transformation cycles on the transformation ch…
Size monodisperse silver nanocrystals have been stabilized by chemisorption of long-chain alkane thiols incorporating a receptor site. When dispersed in a suitable solvent these nanocrystals recognize and selectively bind a long-chain alkane incorporating two complementary substrate sites and are noncovalently linked.…
Monomethylhydrazine (MMH) is a well-known liquid propellant used as fuel for launching of rockets and satellites. The desalted reaction liquor of MMH contains about 2 wt % of the propellant (balance water), which also forms an azeotrope with water at 35% MMH concentration. Removal of water to obtain pure MMH by conven…
4-Methyl-5-beta-hydroxyethylthiazole kinase (ThiK) catalyzes the phosphorylation of the hydroxyl group of 4-methyl-5-beta-hydroxyethylthiazole (Thz). This enzyme is a salvage enzyme in the thiamin biosynthetic pathway and enables the cell to use recycled Thz as an alternative to its synthesis from 1-deoxy-D-xylulose-5…
We investigate the nature of the hydrogen bonding in the gas-phase halide−water clusters (X - ···H 2 O), with special emphasis on how the hydrogen bonding affects the frequency of the hydrogen-bonded OH stretch. We present two models for describing the electronic structure of the hydrogen bond. The first model (non-ch…
Structure evolution during isothermal crystallization of isotactic polypropylene and the changes during a subsequent heating to the melt were analyzed by time- and temperature-dependent small-angle X-ray scattering experiments. Results demonstrate that isotactic polypropylene, when forming the α-polymorph, is governed…
In this paper we report a theoretical study of the effects of the presence of boron in growing carbon nanotubes. We employ a well established Tight Binding model to describe the interactions responsible for the energetics of these systems, combined with the Molecular Dynamics simulation technique and Structural Relaxa…
This review discusses progress in efficient solvers which have as their foundation a representation in real space, either through finite-difference or finite-element formulations. The relationship of real-space approaches to linear-scaling electrostatics and electronic structure methods is first discussed. Then the ba…
Chemical oxidative polymerization of aniline was studied in a conventional aqueous solution and in micellar solutions of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS, anionic surfactant) and nonylphenol ethoxylate(9) (NP-9, nonionic surfactant) to investigate the effect of molecular structure of surfactants on the polymerization kinet…
Multiwalled BN nanotubes are grown from nickel boride catalyst particles by chemical vapor deposition at 1000−1100 °C using borazine, B3N3H6, as the precursor. This precursor is generated in situ from molten salt that forms from mixtures of (NH4)2SO4, NaBH4, and Co3O4 at 300−400 °C. The BN nanotubes have concentric-tu…
In this paper characterization of the biomechanical properties of human skin in vivo is studied both experimentally and by numerical modeling. These properties can be important in the evaluation of skin condition (e.g. aging) as well as skin disorders. Methods: In this study we focus on the static behavior of the derm…
[structure: see text] Host-guest complexes of a new open-ended cavitand show unprecedented stabilities. Simultaneous binding in the cavity and at the metalloporphyrin affects both the kinetics and the thermodynamics of caviplex formation.
