Improvement in the thermal conductivity of aluminum nitride (AlN) can be realized by additives that have a high thermodynamic affinity toward alumina (Al 2 O 3 ), as is clearly demonstrated in the aluminum nitride‐yttria (AlN‐Y 2 O 3 ) system. A wide variety of lanthanide dopants are compared at equimolar lanthanide o…
Summary Sorption on the mineral matrix is an important process restricting the movement of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in soils. In this study, we aimed to identify the chemical structures responsible for the retention of DOM by sorption experiments with total DOM and acidic humic substances (AHS), containing humic…
Abstract The standard form of the Scherrer equation, which has been used to calculate the mean thickness of the coherent scattering domain (CSD) of illite crystals from X-ray diffraction (XRD) full width data at half maximum (FWHM) intensity, employs a constant, K sh , of 0.89. Use of this constant is unjustified, eve…
Alternating polyelectrolyte films constructed by the sequential adsorption of poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) and poly(styrenesulfonate) (PSS) have been used as substrates for the immobilization of immunoglobulin G (IgG) and anti-IgG. Anti-IgG has also been immobilized in multilayer films by the alternate deposit…
The piezoelectric properties of relaxor based ferroelectric single crystals, such as Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3- PbTiO3 (PZN-PT) and Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-PbTiO3 (PMN-PT) were investigated for electromechanical actuators. In contrast to polycrystalline materials such as Pb(Zr, Ti)O3 (PZTs), morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) composit…
The spectroscopic behavior of colloidal InP quantum dots (QDs) has been investigated as a function of the mean QD diameter (which ranged from 26 to 60 Å). Absorption spectra show up to three peaks or shoulders which reflect excited state transitions in the QDs. Global photoluminescence (PL) spectra (excitation well to…
Summary The small organic matter content of mineral soils makes it difficult to obtain 13 C and 15 N nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra with acceptable signal‐to‐noise ratios. Subjecting such samples to hydrofluoric acid removes mineral matter and leads to a relative increase in organic material. The effect of t…
Monocytes are activated during collateral artery growth in vivo, and monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) has been shown to be upregulated by shear stress in vitro. In order to investigate whether MCP-1 enhances collateral growth after femoral artery occlusion, 12 rabbits were randomly assigned to receive either MCP…

We examine substrate/overlayer experiments and the equations commonly used to quantify overlayer thicknesses. Comparisons with accurate Monte-Carlo simulations show that using attenuation lengths (rather than inelastic mean free paths) eliminates most of the error due to elastic scattering without increasing the compl…
The structures of the four metal dioxides GeO 2 , SnO 2 , RuO 2 and IrO 2 (germanium, tin, ruthenium and iridium dioxides, respectively) have been redetermined by Rietveld refinement from neutron diffraction powder data. The four dioxides all adopt the rutile-type structure, space group P 42/ mnm (no. 136), with a = 4…
The access of guest species to the binding sites of adsorbent determines the metal‐binding capacity of materials, which is important for example in environmental remediation efforts. It is shown that MP‐HMS, the mercaptopropylsilane‐functionalized derivative of the molecualr sieve HMS, with its regular pore structure…
A new multidimensional scoring approach for identifying and distinguishing trimeric and dimeric coiled coils is implemented in the MultiCoil program. The program extends the two-stranded coiled-coil prediction program PairCoil to the identification of three-stranded coiled coils. The computations are based upon data g…
In this feature article, syntheses of nanosized particles by using colloidal assemblies as a template are described. We asked ourselves the following question: What parameters play a role in the control of the size, shape, and polydispersity? We know that parameters such as the shape of colloidal assemblies, the hydra…
The gas transport of hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and methane gases in a series of poly(aryl ether ketone)s was examined. The polymer membranes have a wide range of permeability coefficients and permselectivity coefficients, showing excellent gas-transport properties. The enhanced interchain interaction…
Pineapple leaf fiber (PALF) which is rich in cellulose, relatively inexpensive, and abundantly available has the potential for polymer reinforcement. The present study investigated the tensile, flexural, and impact behavior of PALF-reinforced polyester composites as a function of fiber loading, fiber length, and fiber…
The transport properties of carbon dioxide, water, and different organic solvents in bacterial poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) at 30°C were investigated. CO2 sorption was measured by the gravimetric method using a recording microbalance at subatmospheric pressures. Results were adequately interpreted in terms of Henry's…
Wood fiber-reinforced composites were prepared from poly(hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) and poly(hydroxybutyrate-co-hydroxyvalerate) (PHB/HV) copolymers containing 9 and 24% valerate. The effects of fibers on crystallization were investigated. Thermomechanical pulp, bleached Kraft fibers, and microcrystalline cellulose filler…

The synthesis, properties and applications of polypyrrole (PPy), a representative of conducting polymers, are reviewed. Chemical and electrochemical methods for the preparation of PPy and PPy films and the effect of the reaction conditions on the properties of the polymer produced are discussed. The mechanisms of elec…
