We report a quantitative analysis of the change in optical appearance of a supported film of liquid crystal that is induced by specific binding of an immunoglobulin (IgG) to a surface-bound antigen. We interpret the optical appearance to indicate the amount of bound IgG and thus the concentration of IgG in solution. T…

Two series of dendrimers containing a single ferrocene unit located in the focal point of these macromolecules have been synthesized and characterized. The first series of dendrimers has considerable lipophilic character, with tert-butyl ester groups located in their peripheral regions. In contrast, the second series…

Using molecular dynamics computer simulation we calculate for a simple glass former e IS , the energy of the inherent structure, in equilibrium and in the out-of-equilibrium situation. We show that e IS can be used to define for the aging system an effective time-dependent temperature T e ( t ). In particular we demon…

Knitted fabric in this study is one of the textile fabrics that has been mainly used as reinforcements for applications of large scale composite structures in the United States. The structure of the knitted fabric is that unidirectional fiber bundles are orientated in multi-direction and linked with knitted yam. There…

Cubylamines and cubylmethylamines are of interest as antiviral agents. Reliable syntheses of some polyamides with cubane as the backbone of a polymer chain are described. Two monomers of cubane, cubane-1,4-dicarboxylic acid (CDA) and 1,4-diaminocubane (DAC), are used. Polymerizations of DAC, 1,6-hexamethylene diamine…

The ionic conductivity in the system (1 − 0.08 x − 0.12 y )ZrO 2 –0.08 x Y 2 O 3 –0.12 y CaO (where x + y = 1 and y = 0–1) has been investigated using the complex impedance technique at 523–973 K. Doping CaO in the ZrO 2 –Y 2 O 3 system may result in an increase in the activation energy for lattice conduction and depr…

In metallic U-Pu-Zr fuel, metallurgical reactions occur between the fuel slug and the cladding, and a phase of which the melting point is relatively low is formed in the reaction zone. If a liquid phase is formed, it can degrade cladding integrity. The potential for liquid phase formation near the cladding, therefore,…

We have studied the dynamics of styrene−isoprene (SI) block copolymer micelles in a matrix of linear entangled polyisoprene (PI) chains, using forced Rayleigh scattering (FRS) and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). The molecular weight of PI has been varied from 22.000 g/mol, where the copolymer corona should be stron…

We calculate the low temperature, quantum mechanical rate of heat flow through a nanocrystal due to phonon transport by solving a many-body Schr\"odinger equation for oscillators in Fermi resonance. By analogy to Raman scattering through molecules, we find that normal processes due to anharmonicity of the nanocrystal…

Polycrystalline fine powder of yttrium aluminum perovskite (YAP) and yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) have been successfully synthesized for the first time by mechanical solid-state reaction. The reaction scheme has been studied in detail. In short, the technique uses two reaction steps. First, a high-energy ball mill is…

Oxidation of MgO–C refractories containing 20 wt-%graphite was conducted by measuring the weight loss at regular intervals at various temperatures from 800 to 1600°C in air. The rate of decarburisation increased with rise in temperature from 800 to 1400°C and then remained more or less constant from 1400 to 1600°C. Th…

The minimum thickness for an amorphous silicon dioxide (α-SiO 2 ) protective coating required to prevent volume diffusion of atomic oxygen in a low Earth orbit (LEO) was evaluated by measuring the oxide thickness formed on Si(001) wafers in a hyperthermal atomic oxygen beam. The thickness of oxide film was measured by…

A theoretical method is presented to determine the gamma-radiation build-up factors in various biological materials. The gamma energy range is 0.015-15.0 MeV, with penetration depths up to 40 mean free paths considered. The dependence of the exposure build-up factor on incident photon energy and the effective atomic n…

The optical band gap and optical constants have been studied as a function of photon energy for a-Ga x Se100–x thin films (where x × 0, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5 and 10.0) in the wavelength region 450–1000 nm. The optical band gap decreases with the increase of Ga concentration in the a-Ga x Se100–x system. The refractive index (…

The adsorption characteristics of phthalic acid on a silver surface were investigated by means of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). For a reliable analysis of the SER spectrum, we also performed an ab initio vibrational wavenumber calculation. The SER spectral features dictated that the phthalic acid molecules…

Our work demonstrates that magnetoresistance of the polycrystalline magnetite decreases with the reduction in average grain size, suggesting that the spin-dependent transporting phenomenon is associated with the interface microstructure. Also, the reducing peak intensity of the Raman spectra near 660 ${\mathrm{cm}}^{\…
