A liquid-crystal optical phased-array technology that uses stressed liquid crystals provides a new type of tip-tilt wavefront corrector. It demonstrates a very fast time response (10 kHz) and high beam-steering efficiency (approximately 91%). The new technology presented here will allow for a nonmechanical, high-speed…

A mathematical analysis of the cubic crystal structure of fast oxide-ion conductor beta-La(2)Mo(2)O(9) (and derived members of the LAMOX family) shows that its cationic sublattice can behave as a semirigid framework. Tilt/rotation of rigid [O1La(3)Mo] anti-tetrahedral units about their 3-fold axis can open up tunnels…

The use of metal−ligand binding as the driving force for the self-assembly polymerizations of a ditopic monomer offers a facile route to the preparation of metallo-supramolecular polymers. We report, herein, the utilization of this approach for the polymerization of a conjugated macromonomer that was derived by functi…

The optimisation of the radiation protection for the workers in nuclear industry is an important part of the safety culture. The application of the ALARA concept (to keep exposures as low as reasonably achievable) is not always straightforward as it is influenced by the site geometry, source distribution and work orga…

A novel biomimetic route for the synthesis of electrically conducting homopolymers/copolymers of pyrrole and 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) in the presence of a polyelectrolyte, such as polystyrene sulfonate (SPS), is presented. A poly(ethylene glycol)-modified hematin (PEG-hematin) was used to catalyze the homopol…

Abstract Poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO), soluble in both aqueous and organic solvents, is one of the most intriguing polymers. PEO solution properties have been extensively studied for decades; however, many of the studies have focused on specific properties, such as clustering, of PEO in aqueous solutions, and the behavi…

Point kernel codes that simulate gamma-ray transport often use build-up factors to take scattered photons into account. This study introduces a new method, for computing multi-layer shield build-up factors. This method, based on an empirical formula for calculating double-layer shield build-up factors, is iterative.

A metmyoglobin (Fe3+), an oxidized form of myoglobin (Fe2+), was confined in nanospaces of about 4 nm in diameter in mesoporous silica (FSM; folded-sheet mesoporous material), forming a metmyoglobin (Fe3+)-FSM nanoconjugate. The spectral characteristics of metmyoglobin (Fe3+)- and myoglobin (Fe2+)-FSM show an absorpti…

We examine the vitrification and melting of asymmetric star polymer mixtures by combining rheological measurements with mode coupling theory. We identify two types of glassy states, a single glass, in which the small component is fluid in the glassy matrix of the big one, and a double glass, in which both components a…
