Molecular dynamics simulations of ultrathin water film confined between atomically flat rigid diamond plates are described. Films with thickness of one and two molecular diameters are concerned and TIP4P model is used for water molecules. Dynamical and equilibrium characteristics of the system for different values of…
CuO was used to enhance the sinterability of 0.95(Na 0.5 K 0.5 )NbO 3 –0.05SrTiO 3 (0.95NKN–0.05ST) ceramics. The poor sinterability of 0.95NKN–0.05ST ceramics was improved by the addition of 1.5 mol% CuO, so that they were well sintered even at 960°C with grain growth. The densification and grain growth were attribut…
The wettability of the steel surface is an important factor co-determining the risk of corrosion in multiphase pipelines for transportation of oil and gas. The effect of carbon dioxide (CO2) corrosion inhibitors on the wettability of carbon steel was investigated in the present paper. Also investigated was the effect…
Abstract Composites of high density polyethylene with three different amounts of modified boron carbide namely: 7 phr (parts per hundred parts of resin), 15 phr and 24 phr have been prepared. These composites show excellent thermal neutron shielding properties which increase with the increase of boron content in the c…
Abstract Upon repeated administration, empty pegylated liposomes lose their long-circulating characteristics, referred to as the accelerated blood clearance (ABC) phenomenon. To investigate whether cytotoxic drug-containing pegylated liposomes could also elicit a similar phenomenon, two pegylated liposomal antitumour…
Extraction of the actinide-REE fraction and its subsequent incorporation into sparingly soluble crystalline phases (confinement matrices) is assumed in processing of spent nuclear fuel from high-level radioactive wastes (HLW). The chemical stability in the process of interaction with subsurface water governs the capab…
This paper introduces an array of single crystal silicon microhotplates for differential scanning calorimetry. Heat transfer analysis considers the tradeoffs between heating and cooling rate, temperature uniformity, and measurement sensitivity, and determines the optimal design for a suspended membrane microhotplate w…
Leaf-like Cu(OH)2 single crystals were synthesized via the controlled emulsion interface method using Span80 (sorbitan monooleate) as the stabilizer of the emulsion system. CuO products with nanopores could be simply obtained by the dehydration of Cu(OH)2, while maintaining the strip-shaped architecture. The phase str…
Diatoms are dominant organisms in phototrophic biofilms in aquatic habitats. They produce copious amounts of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), which mainly consist of carbohydrates and traces of proteins and glycoproteins. This study focuses on the characterization of EPS from a total of 14 diatoms belonging t…
Acoustic measurements of partial discharge (PD) are employed to classify particles in transformer mineral oil according to material and size. Wavelet multi-resolution analysis data of the acoustic signals together with higher order statistics of the particle intercollision times and magnitudes comprise the input featu…
This purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of fabric moisture transport properties (MTP) on physiological responses when wearing protective clothing. Ten healthy subjects wore two kinds of personal protective equipment (PPE) ensembles and exercised on a treadmill, worked on a computer, and moved a manneq…
Using the classical molecular dynamics and the simulated annealing techniques, we show that monolayer graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) on 6H-SiC(0001) surface form atomic scale rippled structures. From the analysis of atomic configurations, two different types of rippled structures in GNRs can be identified, namely, the pe…
Er 3 + / Yb 3 + codoped transparent phosphate precursor glasses and glass ceramics have been fabricated and characterized. The formation of ErPO4 and YbPO4 nanocrystals was studied using x-ray diffraction. The intensity parameters, the spontaneous radiative transition probabilities, the branching ratios, and the radia…
Angiogenic, that is, newly formed, blood vessels play an important role in tumor growth and metastasis and are a potential target for tumor treatment. In previous studies, the alpha(v)beta(3) integrin, which is strongly expressed in angiogenic vessels, has been used as a target for Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD)-functionalized nan…
Epoxy nanocomposites with organically modified vermiculite were synthesized using a solution casting approach and the microstructure of the composites as well as the gas barrier properties through the cast films were analyzed. Ammonium ions of different chemical architecture were employed in order to analyze the effec…
Si-rich silicon oxide (SRO)/Er-Si-O/SRO multilayers were prepared on p-Si substrates using magnetron sputtering. X-ray diffraction measurements indicate that a mixture of silicates Er(2)Si(2)O(7) and Er(2)SiO(5) was formed after the multilayers were annealed at 1000 and 1150 °C. Strong Er(3+) 1.53 µm photoluminescence…
The band structure of Cu(2)O is calculated using density functional theory in the generalized gradient approximation. By taking spin-orbit coupling into account the split between the Γ(7)(+) and the Γ(8)(+) valence band states is obtained as 128 meV. The highest valence band shows a noticeable nonparabolicity close to…
Nanostructured LaCoO3 powder was prepared by a new approach: cobalt oxide nanoparticles were deposited, by wet impregnation, on the La2O3 surface. The La2O3 support was prepared by precipitation from a basic solution of La(NO3)3⋅6H2O. The precipitate was dried at 353 K for 2 h and calcined at 923 K for 6 h in air. Nan…
Oxygen vacancy kinetics in ferroelectric PbZr0.4Ti0.6O3 were studied by oxygen18 (O18) tracer self-diffusion in epitaxial thin films as well as bulk polycrystalline samples. O18 exchange annealing was carried out at an oxygen partial pressure of 250mbar and temperatures between 250 and 400°C. Isotope depth profiling w…
Increasing numbers of workers are involved with the production, use, distribution, and disposal of nanomaterials. At the same time, there is a growing number of reports of adverse biological effects of engineered nanoparticles in test systems. It is useful, at this juncture, to identify critical questions that will he…
