The solution structure of hyperbranched macromolecules was investigated by means of small-angle neutron scattering (SANS). Hyperbranched polyglycerols of different molecular weight were investigated in D 2 O and CD 3 OD, and very similar molar masses and radii of gyration were obtained in both solvents. Kratky plots o…

A recent study has shown that in marine conditions micro-pitting in mild steel is present very early after first immersion and that macro-pitting usually does not become significant until anaerobic conditions set in. The overall pitting behavior with time was represented by a multiphase phenomenological model. This wa…

Direct optimization (DO) of 126 nuclear-encoded SSU rRNA diatom sequences was conducted. The optimal phylogeny indicated several unique relationships with respect to those recovered from a maximum likelihood (ML) analysis of an alignment based on maximizing primary and secondary structural similarity between 126 nucle…

Abstract Zircon- and reidite-type ZrSiO 4 produced by shock recovery experiments at different pressures have been studied using infrared (IR) and Raman spectroscopy. The v 3 vibration of the SiO 4 group in shocked natural zircon shows a spectral change similar to that seen in radiation-damaged zircon: a decrease in fr…

Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) offer several advantages over organic dyes in fluorescence-imaging applications, such as higher quantum yield, exceptional photostability, and a narrow, tunable, and symmetric emission spectrum. To explore whether QDs could specifically and effectively label tumor markers and be used i…

X-ray scattering and rheology are employed to study the volume fraction dependence of the collective structure and elastic moduli of concentrated nanoparticle-polymer depletion gels. The nonequilibrium gel structure consists of locally densified nonfractal clusters and narrow random interfaces. The elastic moduli disp…

Abstract Despite the current broad interest in such materials, the synthesis of defined structures in the size range of 10 nm to ca. 1 μm (“mesoscopic”) is challenging. Few routes shape‐selectively afford geometrically regular structures, other than the typical spherical metal particles of 1 to 10 nm. Moreover, these…

A number of alloys, including stainless steels, aluminum, and nickel-based alloys, are used in seawater for various applications. The localized corrosion of these materials is affected, among other factors, by temperature, microbial activity, chlorination, and flow rate. A predictive model, based on the calculation of…

This paper clarifies the operating principles of a controllable reactor of transformer type (CRT). In nature, a CRT is equivalent to a multi-winding transformer for which the low-voltage windings (control windings) operate at short-circuited states in turn. This kind of reactor possesses such advantages as smooth powe…
