Abstract The basic principles of small-angle neutron scattering and the two-phase model, frequently used for the interpretation of scattering data, are presented. Some studies on phase separation in alloy single crystals serve to illustrate the possibilities of the method. Small-angle neutron scattering of Ni-rich Ni—…

In many applications of polymers, impact performance is a primary concern. Impact tests experimentally performed on molding prototypes yield useful data for a particular structural and impact loading case. But, it is generally not practical in terms of time and cost to experimentally characterize the effects of a wide…

One of the gaps of the modern solar-terrestrial physics is an absence of the permanent space monitoring of the soft X-ray and extreme ultraviolet radiation from the full disk of Sun. The permanent Solar Patrol at the main part of the ionizing radiation spectra 0.8-115 (119) nm does not exist. These measurements are ve…

The pyrolysis of polymethylsilane (PMS) in an argon gas environment with a flow rate of 1 L/min was investigated as a standard pyrolytic process, and the investigation showed SiSi network formation at 573 K. Subsequently, various condensed PMS resins were prepared by adjusting pre‐heat‐treatment or reflux conditions i…

Abstract A tailor‐made autoclave setup for simultaneous acoustic irradiation and hydrogenation was used in the hydrogenation of fatty acids and carbohydrates. The aim was not to perform actual sonochemistry but to retard deactivation of the catalyst by means of acoustic irradiation. The catalyst used was a Raney nicke…

Achiral multi-block liquid crystals are not expected to form polar domains. Recently, however, films of nanoaggregates formed by multi-block rodcoil molecules were identified as the first example of achiral single-component materials with macroscopic polar properties. By solving an Ising-like model with dipolar and as…

Serine hydroxymethyltransferase (SHMT), a pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP)-dependent enzyme, catalyses the transfer of the hydroxymethyl group from serine to tetrahydrofolate to yield glycine and N (5), N (10)-methylenetetrahydrofolate. An analysis of the known SHMT sequences indicated that several amino acid residues wer…

A memory function equation and scaling relationships were used for the physical interpretation of the Cole-Cole exponent. The correspondence between the relaxation time, the geometrical properties, the self-diffusion coefficient and the Cole-Cole exponent was established. Using this approach the dielectric relaxation…

This paper proposes a new membrane stress based model to predict the draping of woven fabrics over irregular surfaces. It has been well established that pure shear is the main mechanism allowing a woven fabric to conform to double curvature shapes. Although the kinematic drape models developed on this principle serve…
