Abstract The comb‐type polyelectrolyte, poly(ethylene glycol)‐ graft ‐poly(allyl amine) (PEG‐g‐PAA), was synthesized to prepare polyion complex (PIC) micelles with Aspergillus Niger Glucose oxidase (GOD). Even after mixing GOD and PEG‐g‐PAAs with various PEG contents, the resulting mixtures remained transparent but th…

Abstract Amorphous poly(ether‐ether‐ketone) (PEEK) progressively crosslinks on irradiation with 11.0 MeV protons, and this has a marked effect on the extent of crystallinity that subsequently develops and on the kinetics of the high temperature isothermal crystallization. The extent of crystallinity with time was anal…

A field-emission cathode is fabricated with ZnO tetrapodlike nanoemitters. With a simple planar triode structure, a cathodoluminescent light source has been investigated. Because of the characteristics of surface-conduction electron-emission planar triode, this cathodoluminescent light source shows a very good perform…

In the hot debate on arthropod relationships, Crustaceans and the morphology of their appendages play a pivotal role. To gain new insights into how arthropod appendages evolved, developmental biologists recently have begun to examine the expression and function of Drosophila appendage genes in Crustaceans. However, ce…

We examine a simple hard-disk fluid with no long-range interactions on the two-dimensional space of constant negative Gaussian curvature, the hyperbolic plane. This geometry provides a natural mechanism by which global crystalline order is frustrated, allowing us to construct a tractable, one-parameter model of disord…

Engineering resonances in metamaterials has been so far the main way of reaching simultaneously negative permittivity and negative permeability leading to negative index materials. In this paper, we present an experimental and numerical analysis of the infrared response of metamaterials made of continuous nanowires an…

We performed comprehensive structural studies on local ionic displacements and medium-range ordering across a series of phase transitions in (1−x)Pb(Zn1∕3Nb2∕3)O3–xPbTiO3 (PZN-xPT) at 15K by using neutron pair-distribution-function (PDF) and Rietveld analyses. PDF spectra clearly demonstrate that all phases of PZN-xPT…

Collagen gels provide a biocompatible matrix for replacing soft tissues, but it is essential to determine whether the mechanical properties of the matrix can be retained after cell ingrowth into the collagen scaffold. We have determined the mechanical strength of four collagen gel compositions (plain collagen; collage…

High-density capacitively coupled plasma with electron density of 1011cm−3 was produced with the effects of the multihollow cathode discharge and the high-secondary-electron emission from radio frequency (rf)-biased electrode using Ar gas. It was found that the optimum pressure was around 3–15Pa. In the case of only m…
