The structure of a partially deuterated rubredoxin from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Pyrococcus furiosus, an organism that grows optimally at 100 degrees C, was determined by using the neutron single-crystal diffractometer dedicated for biological macromolecules (BIX-3) at the JRR-3M reactor of the Japan Atomic Ener…
Novel ternary assemblies consisting of fully encapsulated host-guest complexes (hemicarceplexes) and wide band gap semiconductor nanoparticles were investigated. The water-soluble amphiphilic host (octacarboxyhemicarcerand) traps the hydrophobic chromophore within its cavity and binds to the surface of metal oxide nan…
UNLABELLED: ViTO is a graphical application, including an editor, of multiple sequence alignment and a three-dimensional (3D) structure viewer. It is possible to manipulate alignments containing hundreds of sequences and to display a dozen structures. ViTO can handle so-called 'multiparts' alignments to allow the visu…
A novel composite material has been fabricated for bone tissue engineering scaffolds utilizing the biodegradable polymer poly(propylene fumarate)/poly(propylene fumarate)-diacrylate (PPF/PPF-DA) and surface-modified carboxylate alumoxane nanoparticles. Various surface-modified nanoparticles were added to the polymer i…

Abstract Mixtures of urea and formamide were tested as plasticizers for thermoplastic starch (TPS). The hydrogen bonding interactions between urea/formamide and starch were investigated by using Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy (FT‐IR). The thermal stability, mechanical properties and starch retrogradation beha…
Isolated manganese clusters, ${\text{Mn}}_{n},\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}(n=5--22)$ are deflected by a linear-gradient magnetic field. ${\text{Mn}}_{7}{\text{\ensuremath{-}}\text{Mn}}_{22}$ are found to deflect uniformly toward high field. The magnitude of the deflections indicate susceptibilities far in excess of tho…
We report a computer simulation study of the glass transition for water using the extended simple point charge potential. To mimic the difference between standard and hyperquenched glass, we generate glassy configurations with different cooling rates, and we calculate the temperature dependence of the specific heat on…
Chitosan/silica hybrids were synthesized and shaped as microspheres, which may or may not present a core/shell structure, depending on the experimental conditions. The core is constituted by a homogeneous hybrid, while the shell is pure silica. The amino groups of the biopolymer are still accessible as active sites fo…
Near edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) has been employed to provide insight into the chemical nature of nitrogen in deposits formed from plasmas of allylamine and propylamine. The nitrogen K-edge spectra of these materials unambiguously demonstrate the presence of significant quantities of sp or sp 2 hybri…
We explain the phenomena of ferroelectric phase transition temperature $T_c$ enhancement beyond the end members in perovskite solid solutions like BiMeO$_3$-PbTiO$_3$ (Me=Sc, In, etc.) is related to nonlinear and spatial correlation effects. The explanation is based on the calculation of $T_c$ in the framework of our…
The ice microstructure (grain boundaries) is a key feature used to study ice evolution and to investigate past climatic changes. We studied a deep ice core, in Dome Concordia, Antarctica, which records past mechanical deformations. We measured a "texture tensor" which characterizes the pattern geometry and reveals loc…
We report on structural, magnetic, electrical, and thermodynamic properties of Gd-doped $\mathrm{La}\mathrm{Mn}{\mathrm{O}}_{3}$ single crystals for Gd doping levels $0\ensuremath{\leqslant}x\ensuremath{\leqslant}1$. At room temperature, for all doping levels the orthorhombic O' phase is indicative of a strong Jahn-Te…
We show that the thermal stability of thin films of the organic semiconductor diindenoperylene (DIP) can be strongly enhanced by aluminum oxide capping layers. By thermal desorption spectroscopy and in-situ X-ray diffraction we demonstrate that organic films do not only stay on the substrate, but even remain crystalli…
A double-peaked structure was observed in the {\it in-situ} Brillouin Light Scattering (BLS) spectra of a 6 Å$ $ thick epitaxial Fe/GaAs(001) film for values of an external magnetic field $H$, applied along the hard in plane direction, lower than a critical value $H_c\simeq 0.9$ kOe. This experimental finding is theor…
Two-photon photoemission (2PP) spectra of $\mathrm{Ti}{\mathrm{O}}_{2}(110)$ surfaces are measured for the nearly perfect surface, and surfaces modified by introduction of defects and adsorbed molecules. Defects are generated on nearly perfect surfaces by three methods: electron irradiation, annealing in vacuum, and $…
Ce 1 - x Zr x O 2 ( x = 0−0.8) nanoparticulate powders were prepared via a mild urea hydrolysis based hydrothermal method through homogeneous nucleation at 413 K followed by calcination at 773 or 1173 K. X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX) measurements testify to the good stoichiometri…
A small library of dendrimers was prepared from a common precursor that is available in 5 g scale in five linear steps at 56% overall yield. The precursor is a generation three dendrimer that displays 48 peripheral sites by incorporating AB4 surface groups. Manipulation of these sites provided six dendrimers that vary…
Surface roughness is known to amplify hydrophobicity. It is observed that, in general, two drop shapes are possible on a given rough surface. These two cases correspond to the Wenzel (liquid wets the grooves of the rough surface) and Cassie (the drop sits on top of the peaks of the rough surface) formulas. Depending o…
We report observations on a chiral nematic liquid crystal confined in a plane cell treated for homeotropic alignment. The characteristics of the specimen investigated are such that at room temperature a uniform homeotropic alignment is observed and at higher temperatures the material displays the helical structure. It…
