We evaluated the extent (luminal coverage) of the endothelial cell (EC) lining/neointimal development and the thromboresistance of electrostatically EC seeded small diameter ChronoFlex-polyurethane vascular grafts. The evaluation consisted of harvesting autologous, canine jugular vein ECs, electrostatically seeding th…
Uniquely structured two-dimensional aluminum–silicon alloy nanowire networks are fabricated on glass and silicon substrates by dealloying an aluminum–silicon thin film through selective chemical etching. The nanowire network is comprised of 3–6 nm diameter wires with lengths of 50–200 nm, and a wire density of approxi…
High‐strain‐rate superplasticity is attained in a 3‐mol%‐Y 2 O 3 ‐stabilized tetragonal ZrO 2 polycrystal (3Y‐TZP) dispersed with 30 vol% MgAl 2 O 4 spinel: tensile elongation at 1823 K reached >300% at strain rates of 1.7 × 10 −2 – 3.3 × 10 −1 s −1 . The flow behavior and the microstructure of this material indica…
Photo-control of protein conformation could prove useful for probing function in diverse biological systems. Recently, we reported photo-switching of helix content in a short peptide containing an azobenzene cross-linker between cysteine residues at positions i and i + 7 in the sequence. In the original sequence, unde…
The action of transverse shock waves (the shock wave propagates across the magnetization vector M) on the magnetic phase state of a Nd2Fe14B high-energy hard ferromagnetic was investigated experimentally. The design of the ferromagnetic sample, which was made as a hollow cylinder, has made it possible to dramatically…
The crystal structures of two thermally stabilized subtilisin BPN' variants, S63 and S88, are reported here at 1.8 and 1.9 A resolution, respectively. The micromolar affinity calcium binding site (site A) has been deleted (Delta75-83) in these variants, enabling the activity and thermostability measurements in chelati…
The relation between absorption and emission spectra in a rare-earth doped solid is explored analytically and through numerical simulations on a model system. It is found that the widely used theory of McCumber [D. E. McCumber, Phys. Rev. 136, A954 (1964)] is strictly valid only when the linewidth of each individual t…
Optical scatterometry has attracted a great deal of interest for linewidth measurement due to its high repeatability and capability of measuring sidewall shape. We have developed an analogous and complementary technique for the scanning electron microscope. The new method, like scatterometry, measures shape parameters…
Prediction of gel point conversion and network formation is of great importance in polycondensation during synthesis as well as processing. It enables one to estimate the safe conversions for reactor operation without gelation, the cycle time during processing and plays an important role in controlling the moulding pa…
To meet the emerging near-term and long-term packaging challenges, the electronics industry must begin to increase spending on packaging research and technology development. In the short-term the industry shift to manufacturing outsourcing (combined with decreased profitability in many electronics sectors) has driven…
The adsorption and covalent coupling of bovine serum albumin (BSA) onto methylmethacrylate (MMA) based monodisperse latex particles with different hydrophylic surfaces were investigated. P(MMA) and P(MMA/HEMA) microbeads in the size range of 1.5–2.0 mm were prepared by a dispersion homopolymerization method in the pre…
The quasi‐crystals of hexadecyltrimethylammonium (CTA + )‐montmorillonite formed in suspension were investigated by small‐angle x‐ray scattering (SAXS). The d ‐spacing of the quasi‐crystals increased from 17.1 to 21.7 Å, corresponding to an increasing surfactant loading from 20 to 250% of the clay's cation exchange ca…
The luminescent properties of cerium doped calcium sulphate are studied: fluorescence and excitation spectra, optical absorption and thermoluminescence (TSL). It is known that, in rare earth doped CaSO4, only cerium induces a strong 400 degrees C TSL peak. In CaSO4:0.2%Ce samples synthesised under oxidising conditions…
In 1969, a seminal section on reduced forms and conventional cells was published in the International Tables for X-Ray Crystallography. The section contains a table that gives a metric classification of the 44 reduced forms. In 2001, this table with appropriate revisions was republished in the Journal of Research of t…
Polypropylene (PP) fibers have been increasingly used in the technical textile industry for a variety of applications. Wetting behavior of PP fibers is of importance in these applications. The wetting behavior of the untreated and oxygen plasma treated polypropylene fibers was studied by the environmental scanning ele…
In this study, layered silicate/aliphatic polyester nanohybrids were synthesized by ring-opening polymerization of ϵ-caprolactone as promoted by the so-called coordination-insertion mechanism. These nanocomposites were formed in presence of montmorillonite surface-modified by ammonium cations bearing hydroxyl group(s)…
The interaction of ammonium stearate (AS) and γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APS) treatments with a magnesium hydroxide flame retardant filler and their effects on its use in an ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer compound have been investigated. The work has shown clear evidence of changes in the structure of the surface…
Single sized PbS nanocrystals are selectively deposited from the gas phase onto photoresist patterned substrates at atmospheric pressure, forming patterned nanocrystal thin films. Selective deposition is obtained by means of electrostatic control of the charged nanocrystals in the gas phase. The nanocrystal deposition…
In order to verify the thermal fragmentation of a molten jet dropped into a sodium pool at instantaneous contact interface temperatures below its freezing point, a basic experiment was carried out using molten copper and sodium. Twenty grams of copper was melted in a crucible with an electrical heater and was dropped…
In order to have a better idea of the interaction of the defect centres produced by y-irradiation with dislocation in the processes of deformation destruction, mechanoluminescence (ML) and thermoluminescence (TL) of gamma-irradiated CaSO4:Dy, these phosphors have been investigated. CaSO4:Dy phosphors were prepared by…
