Abstract This article explored the possibility of using silica from fly‐ash particles as reinforcement in natural rubber/styrene–butadiene rubber (NR/SBR) vulcanizates. For a given silica content, the NR : SBR blend ratio of 1 : 1 (or 50 : 50 phr) exhibited the optimum mechanical properties for fly‐ash filled NR/SBR b…

Abstract The rectorite (REC), a form of layered silicate, was facilely intercalated and even exfoliated in soy protein isolate (SPI) matrix. Furthermore, the reinforced biodegradable nanocomposite sheets were produced, in which the exfoliated REC lamellae plays a key role. After solution‐mixing, XRD patterns showed th…

We consider far from equilibrium heat transport in chaotic billiard chains with noninteracting charged particles in the presence of nonuniform transverse magnetic field. If half of the chain is placed in a strong magnetic field, or if the strength of the magnetic field has a large gradient along the chain, heat curren…

Phase stability in $\ensuremath{\alpha}$- and $\ensuremath{\beta}\text{\ensuremath{-}}\mathrm{B}$ has been investigated by using first-principles quasiharmonic phonon calculations. It is found that the defect-free $\ensuremath{\alpha}\text{\ensuremath{-}}\mathrm{B}$ is more stable than the defect-free $\ensuremath{\be…

We report on a study of various $R\mathrm{V}{\mathrm{O}}_{3}$ single-crystal samples ($R=\mathrm{La}$, Nd, Sm, Gd, Er, and Y) which show temperature-induced magnetization reversal. For compounds with lighter rare earths ($R=\mathrm{La}$, Nd, and Sm), magnetization reversal can be observed for a magnetic field applied…

A one-step electron-beam lithography process for the fabrication of a high-aspect ratio nanopin array is presented. Each nanopin is a metal-capped dielectric pillar upon a ring-shaped metallic disc. Highly tunable optical properties and the electromagnetic interplay between the metallic components were studied by expe…

Abstract In this study we explore the feasibility of using of islands‐in‐the‐sea (I/S) fibers in the spunbond process to produce relatively high strength micro‐ and nanofiber webs. The relationships between the number of islands, percent polymer composition, and the fiber and fabric properties are reported. Nylon 6 (N…

This article demonstrates that the micro-topography of the surface with respect to the pattern size and pitch influences cell adhesion and proliferation. Extensive research has shown the dependence of cell proliferation on substrate chemistry, but the influence of substrate topography on cell attachment has only recen…

We report on controlled nanoscale photopolymerization triggered by enhanced near fields of silver nanoparticles excited close to their dipolar plasmon resonance. By anisotropic polymerization, symmetry of the refractive index of the surrounding medium was broken: C infinity v symmetry turned to C2v symmetry. This allo…

Trimetallic CuNiMo(CN) 8 coordination nanoparticles with a narrow size distribution around 3 nm were obtained. A photoinduced superparamagnetic behavior was evidenced at low temperature by microSQUID studies. The relaxation studies reveal a behavior similar to that observed for single-molecule magnets (SMMs).

Samples of polylactide (PLA) were synthesized by initiating lactide ring opening with glycidol using Sn(Oct) 2 catalyst. Under low-temperature solution polymerization conditions, epoxide ring opening is precluded, leading to predominately linear epoxide capped PLA. With high-temperature bulk polymerization, simultaneo…

Proline dehydrogenase (PRODH) and Delta(1)-pyrroline-5-carboxylate dehydrogenase (P5CDH) catalyze the two-step oxidation of proline to glutamate. They are distinct monofunctional enzymes in all eukaryotes and some bacteria but are fused into bifunctional enzymes known as proline utilization A (PutA) in other bacteria.…

P-type CuO nanorods were synthesized by a hydrothermal method and the ethanol-sensing properties of sensors based on CuO were investigated. The sensor resistance increased when it was exposed to ethanol and decreased in the air, which is contrary to the case for sensors realized from n-type semiconductor. The resistan…

Annealing effects on the physical properties of ZnO/CdSe core−shell nanowires have been analyzed in the range of 150−400 °C. Annealing at temperatures higher than 350 °C induce a structural transition in nanocrystalline CdSe nanowire shell, from cubic zinc blende to hexagonal wurtzite structure. This transition takes…

Although spliceosomal introns are present in all characterized eukaryotes, intron numbers vary dramatically, from only a handful in the entire genomes of some species to nearly 10 introns per gene on average in vertebrates. For all previously studied intron-rich species, significant fractions of intron positions are s…

Abstract Stepwise solid‐state reaction between LiNH 2 and LiAlH 4 at a molar ratio of 2:1 is investigated in this paper. It is observed that approximately four H atoms are evolved from a mixture of LiNH 2 –LiAlH 4 (2:1) after mechanical ball milling. The transformation of tetrahedral [AlH 4 ] – in LiAlH 4 to the octah…
