The genus Chaetoceros , one of the most important genera of diatoms in the marine plankton, has been investigated from 20 stations in Danish waters during the period 1991–1995. Thirty‐five taxa were identified, 18 of which were brought into culture for further morphological studies. Three taxa are reported for the fir…

The substitution of methionines with leucines within the interior of a protein is expected to increase stability both because of a more favorable solvent transfer term as well as the reduced entropic cost of holding a leucine side chain in a defined position. Together, these two terms are expected to contribute about…

We report the experimental observation and analysis of optical second-harmonic generation in the 3R and 2H polytypes of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) by a fundamental excitation wavelength of 1064 nm. We include an extension from the literature to account for multiple reflections of the fundamental, anisotropic optical…

Mechanical properties of silicon nitride which was superplastically deformed in plane‐strain compression were investigated. Superplastically deformed silicon nitride exhibited a highly anisotropic microstructure, where rod‐shaped grains tended to be aligned along the extruding direction. The bending strength and fract…

Flexoelectric coupling gives rise to a linear electro-optic response in cholesterics (flexoelectrooptic effect) with a uniformly lying helix (ULH) structure and this electro-optic effect is strongly reliant on the homogeneity and quality of the texture. The ULH structure, unfortunately, is complicated in itself and ma…

Polarized Raman and infrared espectra of l-threonine crystals have been obtained at room temperature and an assignment of normal modes is proposed based on group theory analysis. The usefulness of these assignments comes from the fact that some modes are related to important vibrations that can show changes under diff…

Formation energies of oxygen and uranium vacancies, interstitials and Frenkel pairs as well as Schottky trio defect energies in uranium dioxide are calculated by means of the linear muffin-tin orbital supercell method in the atomic sphere approximation. These ab initio results are in qualitative agreement with experim…

The mesomorphic behaviour of a liquid crystalline sheet-shaped 2,4,6-triarylaminothe 1,3,5-triazine bearing six peripheral decyloxy chains has been investigated in binary mixtures with two-fold alkoxy substituted non-mesomorphic benzoic acids. Each investigated equimolar mixture exhibits an enantiotropic columnar phas…

A nonbarotropic continuum bubbly mixture model is used to study the one-dimensional cavitating flow through a converging-diverging nozzle. The nonlinear dynamics of the cavitation bubbles are modeled by the Rayleigh-Plesset equation. Analytical results show that the bubble/bubble interaction through the hydrodynamics…

Abstract The network density in unfilled EPDM vulcanizates was studied by the following methods: low resolution, proton T 2 NMR relaxation, Mooney—Rivlin analysis of stress—strain curves, and equilibrium swelling experiments. For the vulcanizates as such, the NMR method measures the total network density, which is com…

Deposition of metallic iridium thin films has been achieved by sputtering an Ir target with argon. The deposition of the Ir films was investigated at argon gas pressures in the (10–40) mTorr range with various rf power densities. The stress, resistivity, and structure of the Ir films were systematically determined as…
