Abstract Amorphous and crystallized poly( L ‐lactic acid) (PLLA) films were prepared and the hydrolytic degradation of the ultraviolet (UV)‐treated and UV‐nontreated films was investigated. This study reveals that the combination of UV and thermal treatments can produce the PLLA materials having different hydrolytic d…

Abstract This work shows how elimination of the whipping motion of electrospinning fibers leads to nearly perfect alignment of fibers collected onto fast‐rotating cylindrical collectors. The whipping motion is eliminated by using lower and more uniform electrical fields than are typically used in electrospinning pract…

We study adsorption sites of a single Xe adatom on Nb(110) surface using a density functional theory approach: The on-top site is the most favorable position for the adsorption. We compare the binding features of the present study to earlier studies of a Xe adatom on close-packed (111) surface of face-centered cubic m…

We examine the performance limits of field-effect transistors (FETs) with chemically modified graphene as the channel materials. Graphene nanoroad (XNR) and graphene nanomesh (XNM) can be created through selective chemical modification by an X adsorbate (either H or F) on graphene, which generates a bandgap while cons…

Chemical modification of Douglas fir bark and its subsequent utilization in adsorption of Pb(II) from aqueous solutions was investigated. The polysaccharidic moiety of barks was functionalized by periodate oxidation and derivatized after reductive amination in the presence of aminated oligo-carrageenans. Pb(II) adsorp…

FT-IR and Raman spectra of the orthorhombic and monoclinic N-benzyl-2-methyl-4-nitroaniline (BNA) single crystals, powders, and BNA solutions were measured in the 15-4000 cm(-1) range, and complete assignments of bands to normal vibrations are proposed. The assignments have been reinforced by density functional theory…

Iridescence is a property of structural color that is occasionally encountered in higher eukaryotes but that has been poorly documented in the prokaryotic kingdom. In the present work, we describe a marine bacterium, identified as Cellulophaga lytica, isolated from the surface of an anemone, that exhibits bright green…

Doped strontium titanates are very versatile materials. Iron doped SrTiO 3 can be used, for example, as a material for resistive gas sensors and fuel cell electrodes. In this paper, two compositions based on Fe doped SrTiO 3 were studied as possible candidates for cathode application in SOFCs. Namely, SrTi 0.65 Fe 0.3…

These first-generation taxanes are extremely hydrophobic; therefore, solvents are needed for its parenteral administration. Albumin nanoparticle technology allows for the transportation of such hydrophobic drugs…

In their publication [Phys. Rev B, 84, 245125 (2011)], Ishioka et al. discuss the recently discovered chiral charge density wave state in 1T-TiSe2 in terms of a parameter H_CDW, whose sign is suggested to correspond to the handedness of the chiral order. Here we point out that H_CDW, as defined by Ishioka et al., cann…

Monte Carlo simulations of hard-sphere (HS) crystal grown on a square patterned wall under gravity have been performed. While previous simulations were performed with step-wise controlled gravity, in the present simulations constant gravity has been applied from the first.

In this paper we study the excitation spectrum of graphene in a strong magnetic field, beyond the Dirac cone approximation. The dynamical polarizability is obtained using a full $π$-band tight-binding model where the effect of the magnetic field is accounted for by means of the Peierls substitution. The effect of elec…

We study disorder effects on the surface states of the topological insulator Bi$_2$Se$_3$ close to the topologically protected crossing point. Close to charge neutrality, local fluctuations in carrier density arising from the random charged disorder in the environment result in electron and hole puddles that dominate…
