We demonstrate the possibility of a selective nonequilibrium cap opening of carbon nanotubes as a response to femtosecond laser excitation. By performing molecular dynamics simulations based on a microscopic electronic model we show that the laser-induced ultrafast structural changes differ dramatically from the therm…
We have measured the thermoelectric power of individual single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs), using a novel mesoscopic device. Microscopic heaters and temperature sensors were fabricated adjacent to chemical vapor deposition grown SWNTs on a silicon oxide/silicon substrate. Temperature gradients greater than 0.1 K/μ…
In an attempt to elucidate the effect of mixing in high‐shear regimens on the extent of enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulosic substrates, cellulose was hydrolyzed using a commercial cellulase preparation at various enzyme concentrations and by three agitation regimens. The activity of cellulase decreased with increasing…
Perovskite-type BaTiO3/SrTiO3 (BTO/STO) artificial superlattices were fabricated by molecular beam epitaxy process and their dielectric properties and refractive indices were measured. A large leakage current was observed in the films on Nb-doped STO substrate. Dielectric permittivity was therefore measured using plan…
A chemical method to coat submicron silica particles with nanocrystalline zinc sulfide is described. The ZnS nanocoating was obtained by the thermalysis of zinc diethyldithiocarbamate in the presence of morphologically well defined silica particles. The powders obtained were isolated and were characterized by UV/visib…
Experimental investigations of thermal microscopy, low frequency dielectric relaxation, spontaneous polarization P s (T), optical tilt angle θ(T) and response times τ s (T) are carried out in a fluorinated ferroelectric liquid crystal, N125F2(R*) exhibiting smectic-A and smectic-C* phases. Dielectric loss in the smect…
ArF resist-pattern shrinkage in critical-dimension scanning electron microscopy (CD-SEM) measurement is investigated, and its mechanism is discussed. In CD-SEM irradiation damage in the resist detected by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, we propose that C=O units of pendant polymer chains decompose COOH…
OBJECTIVES: Aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical benefit and the toxicity of pegylated liposomal doxorubicin. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients with metastatic breast cancer (n = 30) who failed a prior chemotherapy regimen for metastatic disease received 45 mg/m2 pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) every 4 we…
To make inorganic structure data more useful for further studies a five-point list of simple procedures to be followed by authors of crystal structure papers is proposed. 1. A crystal structure should be described with the space group corresponding to its true symmetry. 2. A new structure proposal should be tested, if…

In this article, the present and future prospects of the research and development regarding continuous SiC fiber reinforced ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) for aerospace applications are reviewed. These activities in Japan are described in term of their major applications, i.e. turbo fan engine components for aircraf…
The QUENCH experiments are to investigate the hydrogen source term that results from the water or steam injection into an uncovered core of a Light-Water Reactor (LWR). The QUENCH-06 experiment performed in the QUENCH facility at the Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe (Karlsruhe Research Center) on 13 December, 2000 was to i…
and supported on carbon were successfully prepared by a reverse micelle method. Aqueous solutions dissolving nitrates of constituent metals of the intended oxides and tetramethylammonium hydroxide (precipitant) were separately transformed into reverse micelle dispersions by using -lauryl ether (surfactant) and cyclohe…
The development of the crystallographic texture in the processing of a 0.5% Si semi-processed steel sheet has been investigated. The results were also compared with those of a steel with 1.25% Si and 0.22% Al, to verify the effect of the chemical composition. The texture was examined after the following steps: i) hot…
A new type of characterization of ferroelectric switching using First Order Reversal Curve (FORC) diagrams based on recording of minor hysteresis loops has been recently proposed. We apply this method to polycrystalline and epitaxial PZT thin films measured under various conditions and compare them to PZT ceramics. In…
Maskless Cu patterning on porous silicon (PS) assisted by a focused laser beam is demonstrated. Cu was selectively electroplated only at the illuminated part of PS by utilizing the rectifying properties of the Schottky barrier formed at a p-type semiconductor/solution interface. Applying this principle, Cu deposition…
δ-Al2O3 supported La, Mn, Co and Fe containing catalysts were prepared by impregnation of δ-Al2O3 with citrate-type precursors and calcination at 1073 K. The catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), and BET specific sur…
This work investigates in the first place, the improvement in leakage current and breakdown field of the copper metal-insulator-semiconductor (Cu-MIS) capacitor with a plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposited (PECVD) amorphous silicon oxycarbide (α-SiCO, dielectric barrier. This is followed by investigating the improv…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate a human assay for quantification of carboxy-terminal cross-linking telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX-I), assess the influence of age on plasma CTX-I concentration, investigate the relationship between plasma CTX-I and serum osteocalcin concentrations, and determine whether concentrations of pl…
The atomization of metals and alloys results in the rapid solidification of droplets which yields a complex interplay of nucleation undercooling, recalescence and microsegregation. Characterization of the solidified microstructure has been studied using conventional optical and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Thes…
