Abstract Several sandwich‐type polyoxometallates based on the trivacant [PW 9 O 34 ] 9− fragment with different Ni nuclearities were selected. Their stability and redox behaviour in aqueous media were evaluated by UV/Vis spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry as a function of pH with the aim of finding the conditions und…

We present structural data on the RI alpha isoform of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase A that reveal, for the first time, a large scale conformational change within the RI alpha homodimer upon catalytic subunit binding. This result infers that the inhibition of catalytic subunit activity is not the result of a simple…

Calcium lactate (CaL2) crystal formation on the surface of cheese continues to be a widespread problem for the cheese industry despite decades of research. To prevent those crystals from forming, it is necessary to keep the concentration of CaL2 below saturation level. The limited data available on the solubility of C…

Abstract The morphologies of Ag particles can be controlled between distorted sphere and prism by employing microwave-promoted reductions of highly concentrated 0.1 M silver nitrate in aqueous solutions. We can selectively synthesize either sphere-Ag or prism-Ag particles by changing only an additive, i.e., either tri…

This study assesses the nickel content of as-received and retrieved stainless steel and NiTi archwires alloys. New and used brand-matched, composition-matched, and cross section-matched archwires were subjected to scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive electron probe microanalysis. Elemental analysis was p…

The stability of space charge in electrets such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polyethylene terephthalate (PETP) and polypropylene (PP) under ultraviolet irradiation has been investigated using photostimulated discharge spectroscopy. While only weak discharge currents were observed in PTFE coated with semitranspar…

This study evaluated cryopreserved homografts (Group 1) and porcine heterografts decellularized with deoxicholic acid (Group 2), implanted in the right ventricular outflow tract of juvenile sheep. Two groups with four animals in each were used and all animals survived with good outcome. Animals were sacrificed 90 or m…

α‐Al 2 O 3 platelet powders were synthesized in molten Na 2 SO 4 flux. The size of α‐Al 2 O 3 platelets was significantly reduced when partially decomposed rather than pure Al 2 (SO 4 ) 3 was used as the source of Al 2 O 3 ; a further reduction in the platelet size was realized through additional seeding with nanosize…

This paper deals with the densification and phase transformation during pressureless sintering of Si 3 N 4 with LiYO 2 as the sintering additive. The dilatometric shrinkage data show that the first Li 2 O‐ rich liquid forms as low as 1250°C, resulting in a significant reduction of sintering temperature. On sintering a…

We report the synthesis of self-assembled carbon nanohelices on iron needles using microwave plasma assisted chemical vapor deposition. The catalytic growth can be explained by the vapor–liquid–solid theory. Their morphologies and microstructures are investigated by scanning electron microscopy, high-resolution transm…

A comprehensive kinetic study was performed to throw light on the formation mechanism of single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) in chemical vapor deposition processes. SWNTs were synthesized by catalytic decomposition of methane or ethylene on supported transition metal catalysts. Kinetic curves (the amount of SWNT as…

Triangular (111) and square-shaped (100) Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 single crystallites with lateral dimensions down to 50 nm and thickness of 20 nm have been grown using lithography-modulated self-assembly in an in situ sputter process. Epitaxial (111)-oriented Pt on a SrTiO3 single crystal served as the substrate. An epitaxial 2 n…

In this communication, a new method for the deaggregation of detonation nanodiamond (ND) and some preliminary results using this method are presented. ND is firstly graphitized in nitrogen at 1000°C and then oxidized by air at 450°C to remove the surface graphite layer formed. The sample after such treatment was suspe…

Microbeads that are both paramagnetic and fluorescently labeled are commercially available in colors spanning the visible spectrum. Although these commercial beads can be bright, polydispersity in both size and fluorescent intensity limit their use in quantitative assays. Very recently, more monodisperse beads have be…
