Liquid metal embrittlement (LME) in the Al–Ga system is studied using molecular dynamics simulations. Crack tip opening loads are exerted on symmetric tilt Al bicrystals in the presence of liquid Ga. In general, the speed of crack propagation increases in the presence of Ga. However, there is significant variation in…

Abstract In this study, a novel and effective suspension polymerization has been employed to prepare functional magnetic porous SrFe12O19/P(St-DVB-MAA) microspheres in the presence of bilayer surfactants (sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS) and oleic acid (OA)) coated on micro-size magnetic SrFe12O19. This was ach…

Zinc hot dip galvanising is one of the most effective methods for the corrosion protection of ferrous materials. However, although its efficiency is undisputable, the exact growth mechanism of these coatings is still under question. In the present work, the diffusivity of liquid zinc in carbon steels was measured with…

Using pyridine-2,4,6-tricarboxylic acid (H3ptc) and 2,2-bipyridine (2,2-bipy), a tetranuclear copper(II) compound [Cu4(2,2-bipy)4(ptc)2(H2O)2(OH)2] · 12H2O (1) has been isolated under hydrothermal conditions. Variable temperature magnetic susceptibility of 1 from 2–300 K indicates anti-ferromagnetic interactions. The…

Poly(acrylonitrile) (PAN)-based zwitterionic membranes, composed of PAN and poly( N, N-dimethyl- N-methacryloxyethyl- N-(3-sulfopropyl) copolymer, are electrolyte-sensitive smart membranes. The hydrophilicity was increased and protein adsorption was remarkably decreased for the membranes in response to environmental s…

We introduce a method to manipulate and organize ferromagnetic nanowires using the elastic forces imposed on nanowires suspended in nematic liquid crystals via patterned variations in the nematic director. As a test case for the technique, we investigate nematic environments consisting of stripes of alternating direct…

The time-resolved spectra of single-bubble sonoluminescence (SBSL) in sulfuric acid have been observed with a streak camera after a spectrograph. The spectral center evolves from infrared to ultraviolet gradually within a SBSL duration, which corresponds to an increase of temperature. The peak temperature within one s…

Homoaconitase enzymes catalyze hydrolyase reactions in the alpha-aminoadipate pathway for lysine biosynthesis or the 2-oxosuberate pathway for methanogenic coenzyme B biosynthesis. Despite the homology of this iron-sulfur protein to aconitase, previously studied homoaconitases catalyze only the hydration of cis-homoac…

With the use of a new kit from Qiagen to amplify total genome quantity, DNA was bulked up from two diatoms that are difficult to grow (Ardissonea and Climacosphenia), and the nuclear SSU rRNA gene was successfully amplified. Results of Bayesian analyses showed that these diatoms are sister to Toxarium and belong to th…

The interaction of generation 5 (G5) and 7 (G7) poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers with mica-supported Survanta bilayers is studied with atomic force microscopy (AFM). In these experiments, Survanta forms distinct gel and fluid domains with differing lipid composition. Nanoscale defects are induced by the PAMAM dendr…

The use of zinc thin films deposited onto glass supports for surface plasmon coupled fluorescence (SPCF) over a broad 200 nm wavelength range is demonstrated. Fresnel calculations performed in the ultraviolet and visible spectral range are predicted to generate surface plasmon modes in 30 nm zinc thin films. In this s…
