Many attempts have been made to achieve good selectivity to targeted tumor cells by preparing specialized carrier agents that are therapeutically profitable for anticancer therapy. Among these, liposomes are the most studied colloidal particles thus far applied in medicine and in particular in antitumor therapy. Altho…
Nucleation of one polymorph by another has been observed directly in the melt crystallization of d-mannitol and d-sorbitol. The new polymorph nucleated on an existing one and grew to dominate the end product. This effect is relevant to controlling polymorphism in the manufacture of specialty chemicals and to developin…
In this paper, we demonstrate that a protein from Bacillus subtilis (YqjM) shares many characteristic biochemical properties with the homologous yeast Old Yellow Enzyme (OYE); the enzyme binds FMN tightly but noncovalently, preferentially uses NADPH as a source of reducing equivalents, and forms charge transfer comple…
The effect of low-temperature annealing on (Ga,Mn)As/GaAs/(Ga,Mn)As trilayer structures is studied. Low-temperature annealing significantly increases the ferromagnetic transition temperature TC of top (Ga,Mn)As layers, reaching as high as 160 K, whereas no apparent effect is observed on bottom (Ga,Mn)As layers. The an…
Abstract Crystals of three Pb oxide phosphates, Pb 4 O(PO 4 ) 2 , Pb 8 O 5 (PO 4 ) 2 and Pb 10 (PO 4 ) 6 O, were synthesized from mixtures of PbO and NH 4 H 2 PO 4 heated to 950 °C. The crystal structure of Pb 4 O(PO 4 ) 2 (monoclinic, P 2 1 / c , a = 9.4894(8), b = 7.1402(6), c = 14.4077(13) Å, β = 104.549(2)°, V = 9…
The gene encoding a poly(DL-lactic acid) (PLA) depolymerase from Paenibacillus amylolyticus strain TB-13 was cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli. The purified recombinant PLA depolymerase, PlaA, exhibited degradation activities toward various biodegradable polyesters, such as poly(butylene succinate), poly(bu…
Bulk MgB2 samples were prepared under different synthesis conditions and analyzed by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The critical current densities were determined from the magnetization versus magnetic field curves of bulk and powder-dispersed-in-epoxy samples. Results show that through a slow cooling…
Abstract This paper deals with the development of a cellulose acetate biopolymer. Plasticization of this biopolymer under varying processing conditions to make it a suitable matrix polymer for bio‐composite applications was studied. In particular, cellulose acetate was plasticized with varying concentrations of an eco…
Due to its indirect bandstructure, bulk crystalline silicon is generally regarded as a poor light emitter. In contrast to this common perception, we report here on surprisingly large external photoluminescence quantum efficiencies of textured bulk crystalline silicon wafers of up to 10.2% at T=130 K and of 6.1% at roo…
Abstract Conversion of oils into gels generally involves altering the chemical characteristics of the liquid. We describe here the gelling of vegetable oils, essential oils, and hydrocarbons at ambient temperature, without changing the chemical characteristics of the liquids, using saturated FA having carbon chain len…
We present a lattice-dynamics study of the vibrations of a linear chain of Xe adsorbates in groove positions in a bundle of carbon nanotubes. The characteristic phonon frequencies are calculated and the adsorbate polarization vectors are discussed. A comparison of the present results with the ones previously published…
The theoretical study of spin diffusion in double-exchange magnets by means of dynamical mean-field theory is presented. We demonstrate that the spin-diffusion coefficient becomes independent of the Hund's coupling JH in the range of parameters JH*S >> W >> T, W being the bandwidth, relevant to colossal magnetoresisti…
A single, zoned, Sri Lankan zircon exhibits a range of microstructures from crystalline to nearly amorphous that are the result of radiation damage over a dose range of 2.1-10.1·10 15 α-decay events/ mg (0.16-0.47 dpa). The zones in the crystal were examined at a variety of length scales using optical microscopy, micr…

Abstract The study investigates the mechanism of fire retardancy induced by expandable graphite in a polyurethane coating. A complementary investigation to the spectroscopic study performed previously confirms that little interaction occurs between the matrix and the additive. X‐ray diffraction study demonstrates that…
ZnO, MgO, and GeO 2 nanowires were successfully synthesized by simply heating the desired metal powder to a temperature above its melting point in a flow of mixed gases (20% O 2 , 80% Ar, with the total flow rate of 120 sccm). Transmission electron microscopy observations show that as-synthesized products are exclusiv…
A new synthetic concept named TERMINI that stands for irreversible TERminator Multifunctional INItiator is reported. Suitable combinations of TERMINI and living polymerizations provide access to strategies for the design and synthesis of unprecedented complex molecular and macromolecular architectures from a diversity…
Certain molecular switches respond to input stimulations producing detectable outputs. The interplay of these signals can be exploited to reproduce basic logic operations at the molecular level. The transition from simple logic gates to complex digital circuits requires the design of chemical systems able to process m…
Photocatalytic activity in the water splitting of Ln 2 Ti 2 O 7 (Ln = La, Pr, Nd) with a layered structure was highly dependent on their electronic band structure. The conduction band of La 2 Ti 2 O 7 consisted mainly of Ti 3d and La 5d, whereas the valence band consisted mainly of O 2p and Ti 3d. The empty La 4f leve…
We demonstrated a self-assembly of two different kinds of nanoparticles simultaneously directed on a monolayer film of diblock copolymer micelles via physical and chemical arrangements. We first incorporated gold nanoparticles physically around the micelles of a monolayer film of PS-PVP micelles having a short-range h…
