Abstract Blends of polyamide 6 (PA6) and elastomeric ethylene‐octene copolymer (EOR), with and without maleated EOR (EOR‐MA) were studied. EOR‐MA with various amounts of grafted MA and gel content were prepared by reactive extrusion. The effects of EOR‐MA characteristics and composition on the morphology, thermal and…

The design of an achromatic polarisation modulator is presented. The modulator is based on a combination of three electrically switchable non-achromatic ferroelectric liquid crystal retarders. The design follows the idea by Pancharatnam who first introduced suitable achromatic combinations of crystal retarders. We com…

Abstract Solid-state metal hydrides display hydrogen densities close to that of liquid hydrogen and thus provide a safe and efficient way of storing hydrogen. As a result of recent neutron and synchrotron diffraction work some novel metal hydrides have been characterized that shed new light on the nature of metal-hydr…

Two noncentrosymmetric quaternary tin chalcoarsenates, Cs(2)SnAs(2)S(9) (1) and Cs(2)SnAs(2)Se(9) (2), were synthesized by the polychalcoarsenate flux method. Compound 1 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pmc2(1) with a = 7.386(3) A, b = 14.614(5) A, c = 14.417(5) A, and Z = 4. Compound 2 crystallizes in the…

Abstract We report experimental evidence that crystalline neptunium dioxide, NpO 2 (cr), will precipitate from near-neutral aqueous solutions that initially contain NpO 2 + (aq), even under mildly oxidizing conditions. Observed decreases in aqueous Np concentrations with time are balanced by corresponding decreases in…

The author reports an alternative method of caring for the donor sites of split-thickness skin graft that involves the immediate return of superficial thin-layer split skin graft to the donor sites while using the deep split-thickness skin graft for replacement over the defects. The proposed method would decrease the…

Out-of-pile experiments on the release of fission products (FPs) under transient heating conditions were carried out for mixed oxide fuels. The fuels used in the experiments, the plutonium content of which was 30 wt%, were irradiated up to 65 GWd/t in the experimental fast reactor JOYO. The experiments consisted of tw…

The RAG1 and RAG2 proteins together constitute the nuclease that initiates the assembly of immunoglobulin and T cell receptor genes in a reaction known as V(D)J recombination. RAG1 plays a central role in recognition of the recombination signal sequence (RSS) by the RAG1/2 complex. To investigate the parameters govern…

Abstract Atomic probability densities as derived from a careful analysis of the Debye-Waller factors contain important information about the average static and dynamic disorder in crystals. Although the inclusion of anharmonic terms often requires single crystal data, in favourable cases, in particular at high tempera…

It was found that the presence of 5 mM Cu(2+) caused precipitation of protein present in hen's egg white to a large extent. About 85% of lysozyme activity remained in the supernatant and the enzyme was purified by approx. 13-fold. A further gel-filtration step on Sephadex G-75 resulted in an overall yield of 80% for t…

Series of aminoxyl radicals (TEMPO or nitronyl nitroxide radicals) bearing phenyl benzoate, troponoid, or biphenylcarbonitrile as mesogenic cores with long alkyl substituents were prepared. Although most aminoxyl radicals showed only weak antiferromagnetic interactions due probably to the remote spin centers as clarif…

O alumínio (Al) é um dos elementos mais abundantes em massa nos solos brasileiros, estando presente em diferentes minerais e formas. Considerando a carência de informações sobre a sua participação no comportamento físico do solo, buscou-se, no presente estudo, avaliar a relação entre a mineralogia da fração argila, fo…

The comfort of light-weight woven fabrics in the form of next-to-skin clothing is investigated by wear trials and the forearm test. The wear trial in neutral environmental conditions shows that light-weight wool and wool blend fabrics are generally less comfortable than the summer polyester, cotton poplin, and polyest…
