ZnO nanorods were grown on SiO2/Si substrates by a sol-gel method at low temperatures of around T=95 °C. The diameters and the lengths of ZnO nanorods increased at high concentrations of zinc nitrate hexahydrate and methenamine solution. Current–voltage characteristics of the ZnO nanorods network followed a typical no…
It has been observed that voltage waveforms generated by power electronic converters may affect significantly the reliability of electric motor insulation. Since partial discharges are considered to be the main cause of the reliability loss, new enamel insulations for magnet wires are being developed in order to withs…
Emissions of sulfur trioxide (SO3) are a key component of plume opacity and acid deposition. Consequently, these emissions need to be low enough to not cause opacity violations and acid deposition. Generally, a small fraction of sulfur (S) in coal is converted to SO3 in coal-fired combustion devices such as electric u…
We hypothesized that immunoliposomes (ILs) that target epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and/or its truncated variant EGFRvIII can be constructed to provide efficient intracellular drug delivery in tumor cells overexpressing these receptors. Monoclonal antibody fragments included Fab' fragments derived from C225…
Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and isothermal calorimetry have been applied extensively to the analysis of light metals, especially Al based alloys. Isothermal calorimetry and differential scanning calorimetry are used for analysis of solid state reactions, such as precipitation, homogenisation, devitrivicati…
The actinomycete genus Gordonia has attracted much interest in recent years for a variety of reasons. Most species were isolated due to their abilities to degrade xenobiotics, environmental pollutants, or otherwise slowly biodegradable natural polymers as well as to transform or synthesize possibly
The first example of a working model of the photosynthetic antenna-reaction center complex, constructed via self-assembled supramolecular methodology, is reported. For this, a supramolecular triad is assembled by axially coordinating imidazole-appended fulleropyrrolidine to the zinc center of a covalently linked zinc…
This work describes the first thermoelectric devices based on the V-VI-compounds Bi/sub 2/Te/sub 3/ and (Bi,Sb)/sub 2/Te/sub 3/ which can be manufactured by means of regular thin film technology in combination with microsystem technology. Fabrication concept, material deposition for some 10-μm-thick layers and the pro…
Materials engineered to have negative permittivity and permeability demonstrate exotic behavior, from a negative refractive index to subwavelength focusing.
Abstract The factors affecting the nucleation and growth of gold nanorods, (Jana et al., Adv. Mater. 2001 , 13 , 1389) have been investigated. It is shown that the size and aspect ratio can be controlled through the use of different sized seed particles. The length of the rods can be tuned from 25–170 nm, while the wi…
We report a strategy for the production of materials with structural hierarchy. The approach employs polymer microgels as templates for the synthesis of semiconductor, metal, or magnetic nanoparticles (NPs). We show that NPs with predetermined dimensions and size-dependent properties can be synthesized by using a very…
Zirconium diboride (ZrB 2 ) and ZrB 2 ceramics containing 10, 20, and 30 vol% SiC particulates were prepared from commercially available powders by hot pressing. Four‐point bend strength, fracture toughness, elastic modulus, and hardness were measured. Modulus and hardness did not vary significantly with SiC content.…
Dispersion of the temperature-noncritical frequency conversion (phase matching) and birefringence in biaxial crystals is considered. The possibility of simultaneous realisation of these processes during SHG in a KTP crystal is discussed.
Les contraintes residuelles introduites lors de la mise en oeuvre des aciers inoxydables peuvent affecter leur resistance a la corrosion localisee, en presence d'environnements corrosifs contenant des chlorures. Des essais de corrosion sous contraintes de traction imposee ont ete realises, sur des aciers inoxydables a…
The bacterial phosphoenolpyruvate:sugar phosphotransferase system regulates a variety of physiological processes as well as effecting sugar transport. The crr gene product (enzyme IIA(Glc) (IIA(Glc))) mediates some of these regulatory phenomena. In this report, we characterize a novel IIA(Glc)-binding protein from Esc…
The technology of growing mercury thiogallate crystals (HgGa 2 S 4 ) is improved and high-quality bulk samples are produced. The basic optical and thermal properties of these crystals are studied. The transmission spectra of mercury thiogallate are measured and its nonlinear characteristics such as the quadratic susce…
The review concerns the syntheses of polymeric nanocomposites containing encapsulated nanoparticles formed in nanostructured polymeric systems including block copolymers, dendrimers, nanoporous polymers, polyelectrolyte gel–surfactant complexes and multilayered films. Nanostructures in amphiphilic block copolymers can…
We study the effects of droplet ordering in initial optical transmittance through polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) films prepared in the presence of an electrical field. The experimental data are interpreted by using a theoretical approach to light scattering in PDLC films that explicitly relates optical transm…
Two-state models provide phenomenological descriptions of many different systems, ranging from physics to chemistry and biology. We investigate work fluctuations in an ensemble of two-state systems driven out of equilibrium under the action of an external perturbation. We calculate the probability density P(W) that a…
Starting from a D-dimensional XXZ ferromagnetic Heisenberg model in an hypercubic lattice, it is demonstrated that the anisotropy in the exchange coupling constant leads to a D-dependent effective on-site anisotropy interaction often ignored for D>1. As a result the effective width of the wall depends on the dimension…
