We have published extensively on a lattice dendrimer model whose properties were simulated by a Monte Carlo technique. However, it has recently been pointed out that the simulation technique violated detailed balance and that the ensuing errors, at least for dendrimers without excluded volume, were relatively large. I…
This paper describes the hydrophobic transfer of unfilled room temperature vulcanized silicone rubber (RTV) resulting from UV radiation, corona discharges, high temperature, and a deposition of hydrophilic layer. The chemical and morphological structure at the surface layer and the migrating behavior of low molecular…
The work hardening properties of 99.99% purity aluminum were investigated by tensile tests at RT on samples with average grain sizes between 40 and 300 μm. It is shown that the stress–strain curves can only be described by two different functions valid at moderate and at higher strains, respectively. New constitutive…
PREPARATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF COLLAGEN-CHITOSAN BLENDS. Biodegradable polymer blends were obtained using collagen and chitosan. Membranes of collagen and chitosan in different proportions (3:1, 1:1 and 1:3) were prepared by mixing their acetate solutions (pH 3.5) at room temperature. The blends were characterize…
We have discovered large linear electro-optics (Pockels) effect in ZnO crystalline films doped with fluorine and deposited on bare glass. A complex approach including self-consistent band structure calculations together with a Car-Parinello molecular dynamics simulation of the film–glass interface structure was used.…
Presented is a review of the discovery and characterization of the Neurospora Varkud satellite ribozyme. It outlines the approaches and observations that have led to our current level of understanding of the structure and function of this ribozyme, and highlights its distinctive features compared with other naturally…
Attempted metathesis reactions of peripherally-metallated meso-η 1 -porphyrinylplatinum(II) complexes such as trans-[ PtBr ( NiDPP )( PPh 3 ) 2 ]( H 2 DPP = 5,15- diphenylporphyrin ) with organolithium reagents fail due to competitive addition at the porphyrin ring carbon opposite to the metal substituent. This reacti…
We demonstrate a versatile interference lithography system that can continuously vary the pattern period and orientation during fabrication of general periodic structures in one or two dimensions. Initial experimental results, using closed-loop beam steering control and double exposures on a stationary substrate, are…
This paper presents a theoretical analysis of the tensile properties of plain weft-knitted fabric. Load-extension curves in the coursewise and walewise directions for fabrics made from glass fibers are theoretically calculated and compared with experimental results, and good agreement is obtained between them.
In some semiconductors, the mean free path can be greater for the phonons than for the charge carriers. When this is the case it is likely that the material will display a higher thermoelectric figure of merit in the amorphous rather than the crystalline form. Here we determine the general conditions that must hold fo…
Long-chain mannitol dehydrogenases are secondary alcohol dehydrogenases that are of wide interest because of their involvement in metabolism and potential applications in agriculture, medicine, and industry. They differ from other alcohol and polyol dehydrogenases because they do not contain a conserved tyrosine and a…
Abstract High-pressure high-temperature sintering (HPHTS) is a novel recycling technique that makes it possible to recycle vulcanized rubber powders made from waste rubber (namely scrap tires) through only the application of heat and pressure. A brief look into the mechanism of sintering will be presented along with i…
A methodology for calcium sulfate (gypsum) scale control in nanofiltration of saline waters is presented. The methodology involves the use of both theoretically and experimentally determined parameters. Pitzer's thermodynamic equations for electrolytes are used to determine the gypsum scaling potential of the feed wat…
The phase behaviour of the binary systems 4′- n -tetradecyloxy-3′-nitrobiphenyl-4-carboxylic acid (ANBC-14)- n -alkane ( n -tetradecane or n -hexadecane) was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry, polarizing optical microscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The phase behaviour was a function of temperature ( T )…
The “classical” modeling of powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns of lamellar structures, such as phyllosilicates, assumes that the samples are composed of “crystals” having various thickness and well-defined translations between layers. This model is able to describe the high-angle domain of XRD patterns but someti…
High-electron-mobility ZnO epilayers were grown on c -plane sapphire with ZnO/MgO double-buffer layers by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy. Precisely controlled low growth rate of the double-buffer layers was crucial to the improvement of electrical properties. Both X-ray diffraction ω rocking curve measurement…
Staircase-like magnetic-field-driven magnetization curves ( M ( H )) from an antiferromagnetic to a ferromagnetic state have been obtained in Pr 0.6 Ca 0.4 MnO 3 substituted at the Mn site. Although both nonmagnetic (Ga 3 + , 3d 10 ) and magnetic (Cr 3 + , 3d 3 ) substituted cations are able to induce an insulator-to-…
The 500-keV negative-ion based neutral beam injector for JT-60U started operation in 1996. The beam power has been increased gradually through optimizing operation parameters of the ion sources and conquering many troubles in the ion source and power supplies caused by a high voltage break-down in the accelerator. How…
Abstract The rate and extent of crystallization in crosslinked samples of natural rubber (NR), cis-1,4-polybutadiene (BR), and butyl rubber (IIR), were studied by observing the relaxation of stress in stretched strips, held at low temperatures. Melting temperatures were measured from the recovery of stress on warming.…
The possibility of using Langmuir−Blodgett (LB) films of bis(phthalocyaninate) rare earth compounds (LnPc 2 ) (including praseodymium, gadolinium, and lutetium bis(phthalocyanine)s and their octa- tert -butyl derivatives) as optical sensors has been explored. Special attention has been paid to the previously unexplore…
