The initial stages of growth of ordered layers of Al 2 O 3 on NiAl(001) single‐crystal surfaces at 1025 K and 10 −7 mbar (10 −5 Pa) in O 2 have been studied using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS). The STM results evidence the formation of elongated strips (26 Å wide and 11…

The enzyme GMD from Pseudomonas aeruginosa catalyzes the committed step in the synthesis of the exopolysaccharide alginate. Alginate is a major component of P. aeruginosa biofilms that protect the bacteria from the host immune response and antibiotic therapy. The 1.55 A crystal structure of GMD in ternary complex with…

A CFD (computational fluid dynamics) model is developed to simulate the air flow patterns inside the nozzle of an air-jet spinning machine. The design parameters of the nozzle are related to the flow characteristics, so they affect yarn properties. Three parameters are discussed: The effect of nozzle pressure is signi…

We have determined the interactive sites required for dimer formation in type VI collagen. Despite the fact that type VI collagen is a heterotrimer composed of alpha1(VI), alpha2(VI), and alpha3(VI) chains, the formation of dimers is determined principally by interactions of the alpha2(VI) chain. Key components of thi…

The spinning geometry of a ring frame plays an important role, and the twist triangle is the critical region in ring spinning. Changes in the spinning geometry may affect yarn properties. This paper examines the idea of ring spinning with a "diagonal" yarn path, and the effect of such a path on yam properties, particu…

The thermal shock behavior of isotropic and anisotropic porous Si 3 N 4 was evaluated using the water‐quenching technique. The critical temperature difference for crack initiation was found to be strongly dependent on the ratio of fracture strength to elastic modulus. Because of a very high strain‐to‐failure, anisotro…

Duplicate hospital diet samples obtained over 1 week in 2001 were analysed to estimate the daily intake of plasticizers and the results were compared with those obtained in 1999. The plasticizers quantified in this study were: dibutyl phthalate, butylbenzyl phthalate (BBP), di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), diisonony…

Short regularly spaced repeats (SRSRs) occur in multiple large clusters in archaeal chromosomes and as smaller clusters in some archaeal conjugative plasmids and bacterial chromosomes. The sequence, size, and spacing of the repeats are generally constant within a cluster but vary between clusters. For the crenarchaeon…

Effect of different calcium doping levels on the microstructure of high‐purity α‐alumina was studied as a function of sintering time and temperature using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Microstructural evolution was related to hypothetical calcium excess at the grain boundaries (Γ Ca ) that was calculated assumin…

It is known that space charge is formed in cables insulated with crosslinked polyethylene. It is probable that the crosslinking byproduct or the crosslinked polymer morphology is responsible for the space charge. In order to examine the former possibility, an additive-free low-density polyethylene sheet was soaked in…

Isothermal oxidation tests in flowing steam were performed on low-Sn Zircaloy-4 cladding tubes over the wide temperature range from 773 to 1,573 K in order to obtain oxidation kinetics applicable to various loss-of-coolant accident conditions of LWRs. The oxidation generally obeys a parabolic rate law for the examined…
