A heterojunction based on semiconductors with a chain crystal structure p -TlSe- p -TlInSe 2 was obtained. Liquid-phase epitaxy from TlSe melt on the natural (110) cleavage surface of a TlInSe 2 crystal was used. The structure obtained is sensitive to light and hard radiation. Some photoelectric properties of the hete…

Abstract The electrical properties of liquid crystal cells were estimated using various kinds of polyimide(PI) films. It is clarified that the PI structures and its layer structures affects electrical properties of LC cells. Based on the result, we developed a new alignment layers that exhibit a high voltage holding r…

Soils in the upland areas of Malaysia are mostly weathered (Ultisols and Oxisols), having high aluminum (Al), but calcium (Ca) and/or magnesium (Mg) deficient. Magnesium limestone is available in large quantities in Malaysia and is frequently being used to alleviate acidity in the upland soils. This study aimed at ass…

Photothermal effects in nematic liquid crystals (NLCs) on a dye-doped polymer film are investigated using a crystal rotation method combined with a pump-probe technique. We consider both the temperature dependence of the refractive indices of the NLCs and reorientation of the NLC molecules due to a temperature rise at…

Optical and spectral investigations confirmed the availability of phase transitions in [C2H5NH3]2CuCl4 at T1 = 364 K, Th2 = 356 K, T3 = 232 K. It has been found that the empirical Urbach rule is fulfilled in all phases. It is shown, that in the high-temperature phases skeletal vibrations of the C–N–C group interact wi…

The ppc gene, which encodes phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) of an extremely thermophilic bacterium, Rhodothermus obamensis, was directly sequenced by the thermal asymmetric interlaced (TAIL) PCR method. An ORF for a 937 amino acid polypeptide was found in the gene. The ppc gene had a high G+C content (66.2 mol%…

The precise nature of the polyanions formed by the action of hydrochloric acid on sodium molybdate solutions has been studied by pH and conductometric measurements involving glass electrode and conductometric titrations. The inflections and breaks in the titration curves indicate the formation of para-Mo7O24(6-) and o…

We measured the composition of the droplets of the aerosols generated by ultrasound from aqueous solutions containing various concentrations of Triton X-100 (an octylphenyl ethoxylate nonionic surfactant) and d -glucose, the latter being a reference nonsurfactant solute. To prevent the sonochemical decomposition of th…

The influence of simultaneous addition of calcium and zirconium on the ignition of magnesium was investigated. The ignition behaviour and ignition prevention of magnesium by calcium and zirconium were also clarified. As soon as pure magnesium melts in the air, it ignites. However, magnesium alloy containing 0.5 mass%…

Abstract A dialkylsilicon porphyrin Si(TPP)(CH2CH3)2 (1) (TPP=5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphinato) reacted with dioxygen in the dark to give a bis(ethylperoxide) complex (5), from which a dihydroxysilicon porphyrin (Si(TPP)(OH)2, (6) was obtained upon reduction and hydrolysis. In contrast with the phosphorous analogue [P…

Several real-space indices and temperature factors are compared with respect to their correlation with atomic positional error and their ability to indicate atoms and residues with the worst of subtle errors. The best index, rED, is a correlation coefficient between model and map electron densities, similar to one pro…

Carbon deposition (also called coking or fouling) is of major concern in a range of industries in which process gases are carbon bearing. It can limit support catalyst lifetimes and can affect seriously the thermal hydraulic performance and/or mechanical integrity of plant structural components. This general overview…

We have developed a 15‐inch TFT driven anti‐ferroelectric LCD with XGA resolution for monitor applications; this LCD is the largest of its type and has the highest resolution reported so far. Even in the case of XGA resolution, higher contrast ratio than 100:1 has been achieved by applying novel quasi‐DC driving schem…
