We cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli the Archaeglobus fulgidus gene that encodes pyruvate formate lyase 2 (PFL2). PFL2, despite its homology to the other glycyl radical enzymes, differs from them by exhibiting a completely different oligomerization. The most abundant form of PFL2 when expressed in E.coli is a t…
Abstract Ultrafine ferrite grains in a plain C–Mn steel (0.3 mass% C) were produced by large-strain warm compression and subsequent annealing treatment in a temperature range between 773 K and 1003 K. The samples were investigated by means of high-resolution electron back-scatter diffraction. The resulting microstruct…
We report experiments on the aging of monodisperse wet microfoams. We use the flow focusing technique to produce perfectly monodisperse microbubbles from 50 to 80 μm in diameter. This results in a foam of spherical bubbles of the same size ordered in random ordered lattices like “crystal grains” above the foam/liquid…
The functional properties of foods can be preserved when they are coated with edible films, since both the loss of moisture and the transport of O2 and CO2 are reduced. The objectives of this work were: to compare weight loss, Haugh units, and albumen pH between fresh eggs and eggs coated with whey protein concentrate…
This work studied the influence of calcination conditions on basic properties and catalytic performance of Mg,Al-mixed oxides derived from a hydrotalcite sample (Al/(Al+Mg)=0.20). Various heating rates, calcination atmospheres and lengths of calcination at 723K were evaluated. TPD of CO2 and retroaldolization of diace…
Photoluminescence and photoreflectance measurements have been used to determine excitonic transitions in the ternary Al xGa1-xAs alloy in the temperature range from 2 to 300 K. The effect of the thermal expansion contribution on the temperature dependence of excitonic transitions for different aluminum concentrations…
Control of the cell surface allows modulation of the cell's biological response, producing practical applications and satisfying scientific interests. Consequently, to meet such goals and interests, diverse approaches were developed in cell surface engineering techniques. Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) intermediates were…
Large changes in hysteresis are reported as a function of applied stress under thermal cycling experiments in NiTi single crystals. In the low Ni alloy the thermal hysteresis expanded with increasing stress while in the high Ni alloy the thermal hysteresis contracted with increasing stress. The results in both cases m…
Abstract Summary: This work reviews the use of the imaging of radicals interacting with surfaces (IRIS) technique to elucidate chemical mechanisms during plasma modification of polymers. Four systems are examined, NH and NH 2 in NH 3 plasmas, OH radicals in H 2 O and O 2 /NH 3 plasmas, OH in SiO 2 film deposition syst…
Two electrostatic models have been developed that allow calculation of the critical concentration of hydrogen-like impurities in three-dimensional crystalline semiconductors corresponding to the insulator-metal and metal-insulator transition in the zero temperature limit. The insulator-metal transition manifests itsel…
Resonant subwavelength gratings (RSGs) offer narrowband high reflectivity with low-reflectivity sidebands. Analysis with the commonly used rigorous coupled-wave analysis assumes an RSG with infinite lateral extent and illumination by plane waves. This analysis is performed with a finite-difference semivectorial high-o…
The variation in physical, optical and electrical properties has been investigated as a function of Bi2O3 content in 20CaO · xBi2O3 · (80 − x)B2O3 (0 ≤ x ≤ 60, in mol%) glasses. The samples were prepared by normal melt-quenching process, and the optical absorption and reflection spectra were recorded in the wavelength…
The optical properties of two-dimensional photonic crystals (PhCs) in anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) films obtained using a simple and low-cost pre-patterning procedure are described. The prepatterning of the initial Al film surface was carried out by imprinting with an optical diffraction grating; the anodization of the…
Abstract 2,5‐Dibromo‐1,4‐(dihydroxymethyl)benzene was used as initiator in ring‐opening polymerization of ε‐caprolactone in the presence of stannous octoate (Sn(Oct) 2 ) catalyst. The resulting poly(ε‐caprolactone) (PCL) macromonomer, with a central 2,5‐dibromo‐1,4‐diphenylene group, was used in combination with 1,4‐d…
This paper describes water diffusion into and electrical testing of unidirectional glass reinforced polymer (GRP) composite rods used as load bearing components in high voltage composite (non-ceramic) insulators. The tests were performed following ANSI standard C29.11 Section 7.4.2 that can be used to evaluate electri…
This paper summarizes results from recent studies on electromigration (EM) reliability of Cu dual-damascene interconnects using a statistical approach. First, mass transport in Cu damascene structure was discussed, where the activation energies for oxide, porous MSQ (methylsilsesquioxane), and organic polymer dielectr…
Abstract Factors influencing the degree of intercalation (‘reactivity’) of kaolinite group minerals have been investigated using six kaolin minerals, with variable crystallinity and particle size. Tests were performed to measure the degree of intercalation with potassium acetate, formamide, dimethylsulphoxide and hydr…
In this work, surface-enhanced vibrational spectroscopy and normal vibrational spectroscopy as well as density functional theory (DFT) computational methods have been employed to investigate the nature of the chemical adsorption and orientation of the surface species generated from salicylic acid at silver surfaces. T…
”QVD”detectors are based on thermoelectric heat-to-voltage (Q V) conversion and digital (V D) readout. We have devised and analyzed the performance of QVD detectors with several different sensor designs that enable use of high thermoelectric figure of merit samples, be they of thin film, bulk crystal, or whisker form.…
Abstract The synthesis of silica‐graft acrylonitrile‐butadiene‐styrene (ABS) nanocomposites and their thermal properties are studied. The silica nanopowders are treated with silane to introduce reactive groups onto the silica surfaces. The dispersion of modified silica nanoparticles in tetrahydrofuran (THF) is signifi…
