A circular braiding process is adapted to produce three-dimensional shapes by braiding over a contoured mandrel. The present work deals with the simulation of various braided structures. The simulated structures are based on geometrical models developed for yarns on different shapes of mandrels. The geometry of a brai…
Electrostatic interactions drive the adsorption of polycationic single-molecule magnets onto anionic monolayers self-assembled on gold surfaces. Well-isolated magnetic clusters have been deposited and characterized using scanning tunneling microscopy and X-ray photoemission spectroscopy.
Abstract The influence of clay preparation procedure on sorption and hydrolysis of carbaryl (1-naphthyl, A-methyl carbamate) by the reference smectite SWy-2 was examined. For research purposes, reference clays are sometimes used without purification, or more commonly, the <2 μm size fraction is obtained by gravity…
The chemical state and local environment of sulfur in basaltic glasses from the eastern Galapagos rift and quenched laboratory experiments have been investigated by synchrotron-radiation S K-edge X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy, using an energy-selective fl uorescence detector. We have also i…
Size-controlled gold nanocrystals were conveniently synthesized through direct electroreduction of bulk AuCl(4)(-) ions in the presence of poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP). PVP greatly enhanced the gold particle formation process and also significantly retarded the gold electrodeposition process, allowing the electroche…
A computational model is developed to predict the ferroelastic and ferromagnetic domain structures in ferromagnetic shape-memory alloys by combining the phase-field approach, micromagnetics and the microelasticity theory of Khachaturyan [Theory of Structural Transformations in Solid (Wiley, New York, 1983)]. As an exa…
The selectivity of anticancer drugs in targeting the tumour tissue presents a major problem in cancer treatment. In this article we review a new generation of smart liposomal nanocarriers that can be used for enhanced anticancer drug and prodrug delivery to tumours. The liposomes are engineered to be particularly degr…
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Iron oxide-based contrast agents have been investigated as more specific MR imaging agents for central nervous system (CNS) inflammation. Ferumoxtran-10 is a virus-size nanoparticle, taken up by reactive cells, that allows visualization of the phagocytic components of CNS lesions. Ferumoxtran-1…

We report on the magnetic properties of CuO nanoparticles prepared by the sol-gel method. M (T) curves show a blocking temperature at T/sub B/=135 K and 160 K for 13 nm and 17 nm size particles, respectively, in measuring field H=100 Oe. The M-H data for both the samples show a reversal magnetization at 300 K, whereas…
Over the past half-decade, the fundamental physical properties of left-handed(LH) metamaterials (MMs) have been established both theoretically and experimentally,and several novel MM-based microwave applications with unique characteristics have already been proposed. This paper provides a recall of the main properties…
Ce-doped borosilicate (BSG), phosphosilicate (PSG), and borophosphosilicate (BPSG) glasses (B:P:Si molar ratios 8:0:92, 0:8:92, and 8:8:84; Ce:Si molar ratio 1 x 10(-)(4) to 1 x 10(-)(2)) were prepared by the sol-gel method. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), (31)P, (29)Si, and (11)B magic angle…
Surface effects significantly influence the functionality of semiconductor nanocrystals. A theoretical understanding of these effects requires an atomic-scale description of the surface. We present an atomistic tight-binding theory of the electronic and optical properties of passivated and unpassivated CdS nanocrystal…
Bent-core or banana-shaped liquid crystal mesogens are known to form chiral smectic phases from achiral or racemic molecules, representing the first example of conglomerate formation in bulk fluids. The most well studied examples of this behavior occur in the SmCP phases, subphases possessing the B2 chiral layer struc…
With the aim of understanding the underlying physical phenomenon associated with utlralyophobic (or super repellent) surfaces, model studies have been performed on single asperities of different size and shape. A small liquid drop was deposited on top of each model asperity, and liquid was sequentially added. If the a…
In case of a detected partial discharge (PD) in new power transformer during the delivery test in the high voltage laboratory, the most important question arises from both the customer as well as from the manufacturer: where is the PD source? In such a situation, additionally to the measurement of apparent charge with…
Silicon (Si) availability is known to be one of the main factors controlling the productivity and distribution of diatoms (Dugdale et al. 1995), but current chemical and microscopic methods do not allow discrimination of the key species responsible for Si biomineralization in mixed natural diatom assemblages. In 2001,…
Titanium alloy degradation modes are reviewed in relation to their performance in repository environments. General corrosion, localized corrosion, stress corrosion cracking, hydrogen-induced cracking, microbiologically influenced corrosion, and radiation-assisted corrosion of Ti alloys are considered. With respect to…
The measured performance of a column-type microthermoelectric cooler, fabricated using vapor-deposited thermoelectric films and patterned using photolithography processes, is reported. The columns, made of p-type Sb/sub 2/Te/sub 3/ and n-type Bi/sub 2/Te/sub 3/ with an average thickness of 4.5 /spl mu/m, are connected…
It is shown that intrinsic defects responsible for the semi-insulating properties of SiC represent Si-C divacancies in a neutral state ( V Si - V C ) 0 , which have the triplet ground state. The energy level scheme and the mechanism of creating the photoinduced population inversion of the triplet sublevels of the diva…
