Microstructural changes that occur in a GeSbTe film during repetitious overwriting in phase-change optical recording were investigated. The GeSbTe active layer was melted by a focused laser diode (LD) beam during each overwriting process over amorphous mark formation. The repetitious solidification and liquefaction pr…
The miscibility, morphology, and biodegradability of a binary blend of bacterial poly((R)-3-hydroxybutyric acid)(P((R)-3HB);Mn = 300,000) with atactic poly((R,S)-lactic acid)(P((R,S)-LA);Mn = 9,000) were studied by means of differential scanning calorimetry, optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and hydrol…
X-ray diffraction and electrical resistance have been measured for amorphous and crystalline Te 1- x Se x mixtures (0≤ x ≤1) under high pressure up to 30 GPa, and four high pressure phases of Te-Se mixtures have been observed: a monoclinic phase with 6 atoms per unit cell (M-I phase); a monoclinic phase with 4 atoms p…
A number of Escherichia coli strains including K12, B, W, XL1-Blue, DH5 alpha, HB101, JM109, and C600 were transformed with the stable high-copy-number plasmid pSYL105 containing the Alcaligenes eutrophus polyhydroxyalkanoic acid biosynthesis genes, and were subsequently compared for their ability to synthesize and ac…
Based on first-principles total-energy calculations we have determined the chemical identity and adsorption site of the adatoms observed recently in scanning tunneling microscopy on the SiC(0001)\ensuremath{\surd}3\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}\ensuremath{\surd}3 surface. The calculations indicate that Si adatoms…
Pseudomonas cepacia was evaluated for its ability to utilize xylose, a major hemicellulosic sugar of hardwoods, for the production of the biodegradable, thermoplastic poly(β-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB). This culture produced 2.6 g∙L −1 of biomass containing 60% (w/w) PHB when grown in shake flasks on an ammonium-limited, m…
SrTiO3 thin film has been formed on Si(100) substrates with various single buffer layers such as SrO, CeO2, CaF2, CoSi2 and a multibuffer layer, YSZ/Y2O3/YBa2Cu3O7 by ArF excimer laser ablation. The relation of lattice orientation of buffer layers with SrTiO3 layer has been elucidated. The orientation of SrTiO3 film i…
It is increasingly clear that poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) is not just an inert storage polymer, confined to certain bacteria, but a ubiquitous, interactive, solvating biopolymer involved in important physiological functions. Low molecular weight PHB, complexed to other macromolecules (c-PHB), is widely distributed i…
The poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) depolymerase structural gene of Comamonas sp. (phaZCsp) was cloned in Escherichia coli and identified by halo formation on PHB-containing solid medium. The nucleotide sequence of a 1719 base pair MboI fragment was determined and contained one large open reading frame (ORF1, 1542 base…
Poly((R)-3-hydroxyalkanoates) are bacterial storage polyesters, currently receiving much attention because of their potential application as biodegradable and biocompatible plastics. Methods and skills from both microbiology and polymer science can be used to manipulate these materials to make their physical propertie…
Poly(hydroxyalkanoates) (PHAs) were isolated from Pseudomonas aeruginosa 44T1 cultivated on euphorbia oil and castor oil. With the aid of 2-D proton NMR spectra and proton-detected multiple bond coherence NMR spectra the structures of the PHAs were determined. In addition to the usual PHA constituents (C6-C14 3-hydrox…
A 490-nm-deep nanostructure with a period of 200 nm was fabricated in a GaAs substrate by use of electron-beam lithography and dry-etching techniques. The form birefringence of this microstructure was studied numerically with rigorous coupled-wave analysis and compared with experimental measurements at a wavelength of…
The biodegradation of samples of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate)(P(3HB)), poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-10%-3-hydroxyvalerate)(P(3HB-co-10 %-3HV)), and poly 3-hydroxybutyrate-co-20%-3-hydroxyvalerate)(P(3HB-co-20%- 3HV)) was investigated in situ in natural waters. The degradation was studied by decrease in mass, molecular weight,…
A series of tests is available to study the biodegradation of plastic materials under either laboratory or field conditions. Most of the standard methods have been published by the American Society for Testing and Materials. All of them describe techniques to investigate the biodegradation of plastics under laboratory…
We calculate ab initio the electronic states, spontaneous polarization P, and Born dynamical charge ${\mathit{Z}}^{\mathrm{*}}$ of ZnO, using the local-density approximation (LDA), the Hartree-Fock (HF), and a model GW scheme. Upon going from HF to GW and to LDA, the d bands raise substantially in energy, the model GW…

Heavily B-doped polycrystalline diamond films ([B]≳1019 cm−3) are studied by Raman spectroscopy and electron spin resonance. The formation of an impurity band is accompanied by a Fano-type interference for the one-phonon scattering. Bands at 1200 and 500 cm−1 are observed in Raman spectroscopy for concentrations above…
The contrasting melting behavior of different surface orientations in metals can be explained in terms of a repulsive or attractive effective interaction between the solid-liquid and the liquid-vapor interface. We show how a crucial part of this interaction originates from the layering effects near the liquid metal su…
Some mathematical calculations were done that provided information about the structure and biochemistry of polyhydroxyalkanoic acid (PHA) granules and about the amounts of the different constituents that contribute to the PHA granules. The data obtained from these calculations are compared with data from the literatur…
Until now, micrometer-scale or larger crystals of the III-V semiconductors have not been grown at low temperatures for lack of suitable crystallization mechanisms for highly covalent nonmolecular solids. A solution-liquid-solid mechanism for the growth of InP, InAs, and GaAs is described that uses simple, low-temperat…
