The paper introduces a scalable three-dimensional (3D) kinetic cellular automaton model with a probabilistic switching rule for the spatial and crystallographic prediction of mesoscale transformation phenomena that involve orientational field variables and the motion of sharp interfaces, such as encountered in the fie…
Abstract A procedure for structural investigations by X-ray diffraction of mixed-layer structures incorporating swelling layers has been developed. For each sample, specimens saturated with different cations (Na, Mg, and Ca), are analyzed both as air-dried and as glycolated. One structural model fitting all the observ…
Raman signal intensities from the 997 cm −1 ring breathing mode of thiophenol monolayers adsorbed at Ag, Au, and Pt surfaces were employed for determination of absolute surface enhancement factors (SEFs). Unlike previous estimations of SEFs, these SEFs are determined by referencing the surface-enhanced Raman scatterin…
Absorption spectra have been measured in the near-infrared region for a thin-film sample of single-wall carbon nanotubes of 1.2–1.5 nm diameter. Two absorption peaks are observed at 0.7 and 1.2 eV. The observed spectrum has been compared with the calculation based on the tight-binding model taking into account the dis…
The lamellar grating problem is reformulated through the concept of adaptive spatial resolution. We introduce a new coordinate system such that spatial resolution is increased around the discontinuities of the permittivity function. We derive a new eigenproblem that we solve by using Fourier expansions for both the fi…
The field-emission properties of cold cathodes produced using nano-porous anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) templates are reported. Several types of field emitters were fabricated: aligned copper nanowires grown halfway up the parallel nano-pores of the AAO; aligned multiwalled carbon nanotubes grown to the top of the pores…
Synthetic biodegradable polymers offer an alternative to the use of autografts, allografts, and nondegradable materials for bone replacement. They can be synthesized with tailored mechanical and degradative properties. They also can be processed to porous scaffolds with desired pore morphologic features conducive to t…
Will the interface between the physical and life sciences be where progress in future technologies takes place? An indication of this is provided by the first report of nanocrystal assembly based on protein binding. The gold nanocrystals of an aqueous dispersion are modified by chemisorption of a modified biotin and s…
The three omega thermal conductivity measurement method is analyzed for the case of one or more thin films on a substrate of finite thickness. The analysis is used to obtain the thermal conductivities of SiO2 films on Si substrates and of a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) diamond plate. For the case of the SiO2 films…
The design of a high resolution photoemission electron microscope (PEEM) for the study of magnetic materials is described. PEEM is based on imaging the photoemitted (secondary) electrons from a sample irradiated by x rays. This microscope is permanently installed at the Advanced Light Source at a bending magnet that d…
Nine different sol‐gel derived carbon xerogels were prepared with different pore structures by varying the carbonization temperature (in flowing N 2 ) and activation time (in 5 % CO 2 in N 2 ). For each of these carbon xerogels, mesopore and micropore size distributions and cumulative surface areas were extracted from…
A new human 33-kDa serine protease was purified from human epidermis, and its cDNA was cloned from a keratinocyte library, from mRNA from a human keratinocyte line (HaCat) and from mRNA from human skin. Polyclonal antibodies specific for the new protein detected three groups of proteins in partially purified extracts…

Recent advances in ab initio direct methods have enabled the solution of crystal structures of small proteins from native X-ray data alone, that is, without the use of fragments of known structure or the need to prepare heavy-atom or selenomethionine derivatives, provided that the data are available to atomic resoluti…
Columbite route for synthesis of P3MgNb2O9 (PMN) allows the suppression of secondary phases in PMN powders. These phases, having low dielectric constant, affect negatively the dielectric properties of PMN ceramics. Aiming to get reactive PMN powders, the partial oxalate method was used to precipitate lead oxalate over…
In this work, the influence of the additive system on the liquid phase sintering of silicon carbide has been investigated. The additives employed were mixtures of AlN/Y2O3, Al2O3/Y2O3 and SiO2/Y2O3. The total additive content was fixed at 20 vol.-%, maintaining the Y2O3 content in each additive system at 35 vol.-%. Co…
SiC-Al2O3 ceramic foams with 30 to 75 pores per linear inch (ppi) were used to access the application of pore size obtained by image analysis to estimate the cellular materials permeability through Ergun's equation. Samples were sliced and the pore size distribution, cross-sectional porosity and pore density were eval…
The phenomenon of transcrystallization was studied at the interface of UHMWPE fibers embedded in an HDPE matrix. It was hoped that epitaxial crystallization in such model composites could eventually be used to improve adhesion between these high-strength fibers and the thermoplastic matrix material. Matrix crystalliza…
