We have performed first-principle calculations of the electronic structure and exchange couplings for the nanotube compound ${\mathrm{Na}}_{2}{\mathrm{V}}_{3}{\mathrm{O}}_{7}$ using the local-density approximation Hubbard parameter $U$ approach. Our results show that while the intraring exchange interactions are mainl…

BACKGROUND: Magnetite cationic liposomes (MCLs) can be used to induce hyperthermia because they generate heat in an alternating magnetic field (AMF). This study aimed at developing more practical method for MCL hyperthermia examining the effect of MCL-induced hyperthermia on human prostate cancer in vivo. MATERIALS AN…

We present calculations of the density distributions and contact angles of liquid droplets on roughened solid surfaces for a lattice gas model solved in a mean-field approximation. For the case of a smooth surface, this approach yields contact angles that are well described by Young's equation. We consider rough surfa…

Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used as a novel characterization method to determine the properties of the interface that developed when cobalt oxide nanoparticles were self-assembled in a poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) matrix. The method employed the distinct changes that were observed in the inf…

Abstract The hydrogels composed of chitosan and eugenol were prepared to enhance and sustain antioxidant activities. The vinyl groups of eugenol monomer were directly grafted on the amino groups of chitosan, using ceric ammonium nitrate. The graft of eugenol onto chitosan was confirmed by using Fourier‐transform infra…

In this paper we demonstrate that the origin of the glassy behaviors (memory, aging, etc.) in the phase-separated perovskite cobaltites cannot be simply ascribed to intercluster interactions as the phase-separated manganites can. Instead, our study indicates that both the intercluster interactions and a spin glasslike…

A new prototype of nanoconjugate, Polycefin, was synthesized for targeted delivery of antisense oligonucleotides and monoclonal antibodies to brain tumors. The macromolecular carrier contains: 1. biodegradable, nonimmunogenic, nontoxic beta-poly(L-malic acid) of microbial origin; 2. Morpholino antisense oligonucleotid…

We formulate statistical-mechanical inverse methods in order to determine optimized interparticle interactions that spontaneously produce target many-particle configurations. Motivated by advances that give experimentalists greater and greater control over colloidal interaction potentials, we propose and discuss two c…

This paper describes a very simple electroless-plating method used to prepare optically tunable nanostructured Ag films. Very stable Ag films can be reproducibly fabricated simply by soaking glass substrates in ethanolic solutions of AgNO3 and butylamine. The grain size of silver can be readily controlled to range fro…

Cerium dioxide, CeO2, plays an important role in catalysis, due to its ability to store and release oxygen depending on the conditions present in the catalyst environment. To understand the role of ceria in catalytic reactions, we need to study the details of the interaction of ceria surfaces with environmentally sens…
