The viscoelastic moduli (elasticity and dilational viscosity) of monolayers of P4HS have been studied over a broad frequency range (0.1 mHz–200 kHz) using a combination of relaxation and capillary waves techniques. The analysis of the surface pressure, the elasticity and the viscosity in the semidilute regime show tha…

beta-Alanine synthase (EC 3.5.1.6), which catalyzes the final step of pyrimidine catabolism, has only been characterized in mammals. A Saccharomyces kluyveri pyd3 mutant that is unable to grow on N-carbamyl-beta-alanine as the sole nitrogen source and exhibits diminished beta-alanine synthase activity was used to clon…

Polyethylene/graphite composites have been prepared by two different methods. In a first approach, the ethylene polymerization has been catalyzed by metallocene in the presence of neat graphite particles (NGC composites). A second series of composites (TGC) has been prepared by the polymerization-filling technique, wh…

Isocitrate dehydrogenase from Bacillus subtilis (BsIDH) is a member of a family of metal-dependent decarboxylating dehydrogenases. Its crystal structure was solved to 1.55 A and detailed comparisons with the homologue from Escherichia coli (EcIDH), the founding member of this family, were made. Although the two IDHs a…

Chiral non-symmetric dimeric liquid crystals consisting of a cholesteryl ester moiety as chiral entity and a biphenyl aromatic core, interconnected through n-butyl (C4) or n-pentyl (C5) parity alkylene spacers, have been synthesized and investigated for their liquid crystalline properties. All the dimers exhibit enant…

We have developed a single transistor ferroelectric memory using stack gate PZT/Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/ structure. For the same /spl sim/40 /spl Aring/ dielectric thickness, the PZT/Al/sub 2/O/sub 3//Si gate dielectric has much better C-V characteristics and larger threshold voltage shift than those of PZT/SiO/sub 2//Si.

We report an experimental study of the shape of large liquid drops spreading on surfaces with patterns of wettability. A heterogeneous surface exhibits multiple energy minima of free energy for the three-phase system. In particular, when the distribution of defects on the substrate is periodic (square or hexagonal), i…

This paper proposes to use a fuzzy-neural network system to predict and display the drape image of garments made of different fabrics and styles. The new approach is used to develop a prototype drape prediction system to predict the drape of a lady's dress style made from different fabrics. The advantages and disadvan…

SiC–BN composites were prepared via the proposed in situ reaction, which used Si 3 N 4 , B 4 C, and carbon as reactants. Adding SiC powder to the reactants controlled the BN content in the composite. For comparison, SiC–BN composites with the same phase compositions were produced via conventional processing. The in si…

Cu substituted Ni-Zn ferrites, with different copper content, were prepared by a conventional ceramic technique. Structural and magnetic properties of the ferrites were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, frequency dependent power loss, and high frequency (10/sup 6/-10/sup 9/ Hz) permeabi…
