Au@Pd nanoparticles (NPs) of size range 4.5−13 nm (⟨ D ⟩ ≈ 7.2 nm) were generated inside the alumina matrix sol without using any additional reducing agent. Partially acetylacetonato (acac) complexed aluminum tri- sec -butoxide has been used to prepare the matrix alumina sol. First, Au NPs of size range 3−9 nm (⟨ D ⟩…

Didymosphenia geminata is a stalk-forming freshwater diatom which was historically found primarily in oligotrophic lakes and streams, but has recently become a nuisance species in many lotic systems worldwide. In the last 5–8 years, D. geminata has become established in Boulder Creek and South Boulder Creek, two regul…

First-principles density-functional theory (DFT) calculations have been used to investigate the crystal structures, thermodynamic stability, and decomposition pathways of Li-Mg-Al-H hydrogen storage compounds. We find that the recently discovered $\text{LiMg}{({\text{AlH}}_{4})}_{3}$ compound is stable with respect to…

The machinability of carbon nanotube (CNT)-reinforced polymer composites is studied as a function of CNT loading, in light of the trends seen in their material properties. To this end, the thermomechanical properties of the CNT composites with different loadings of CNTs are characterized. Micro-endmilling experiments…

We report evidence that paramagnetism in CdSe QDs can be induced via manipulation of the surface chemistry. Using SQUID magnetometry and X-ray absorption spectroscopy, we demonstrate that the paramagnetic behavior of the CdSe QDs can be varied by changing the ligand end-group functionality of the passivating layer. Co…

Normal state optical spectroscopy on single crystals of the new iron arsenide superconductor Ba0.55K0.45Fe2As2 shows that the infrared spectrum consists of two major components: a strong metallic Drude band and a well-separated midinfrared absorption centered at 0.7 eV. It is difficult to separate the two components u…

The properties of poly(styrene sulfonate) (PSS)/poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDADMAC) films vary dramatically with the number of polyelectrolyte layers deposited. Attenuated total reflectance infrared spectroscopy of (PDADMAC/PSS)n films deposited on a Ge crystal shows that coatings with fewer than 7 PDADMA…

Abstract Two series of BODIPY dyes with substituents either in the α positions or in the β positions and different conjugation lengths were synthesized by means of iridium‐catalyzed borylation and rhodium‐catalyzed Heck‐type addition (see scheme). The α‐ and β‐substituted series show completely different photophysical…

The extracellular matrix of tissues is regarded as a physiological depot for various growth factors (GFs), from where they are to be released into the surrounding tissue and play their natural roles in tissue regulation. In addition to autocrine and paracrine cell signaling, they provide specific extracellular informa…
