Three collections of Harpephyllum caffrum bark were made from the same female tree in the Eastern Cape during 2003/2004 and tested for antibacterial and antifungal activity. The highest antibacterial activity was detected with plant material collected in June 2003 and December 2003, with a decline in activity in extra…

Fluoroquinolones are broad-spectrum antimicrobial agents that seem to reach their intracellular target site (DNA gyrase) in Escherichia coli by means of an uptake process through the outer and inner membranes. Delivery of quinolones with liposomes has many advantages than the free form of the drug. Liposomes may repre…

A multi-scale model is presented that captures the experimentally observed behaviour of electroluminescence (EL) in carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (CNFETs) under ambipolar bias conditions, namely variations in mobile EL intensity, localized EL at a contact, and localized EL at a charge defect. A full, quantu…

In this study, we used PAMAM dendrimers ( G1 − G4 ) as stationary phases to deposit porphyrin-intercalated DNA onto ITO electrodes. The surface density of the external amino moieties of the dendrimers, i.e., the cationic charge density on the surface, increased with each generation, and correspondingly increased the s…

Two models exist for the orientational distribution of the long molecular axes in smectic-A liquid crystals: the conventional unimodal distribution and the "cone-shaped" de Vries distribution. The de Vries hypothesis provides a plausible picture of how, at a molecular level, a first-order Sm-A to Sm-C* transition may…

A hierarchical high-fidelity analysis procedure is adopted for predicting the critical buckling load of filament wound laminated conical shells. This hierarchical procedure includes three levels of fidelity for the analysis. Level-1 assumes that the shell buckling load can be predicted by using simply supported bounda…

A method for synthesizing multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) beaded with Cu 2 O nanospheres has been developed. In this work Cu(CH 3 COO) 2 ·H 2 O served as the precursor and NaBH 4 as the reducing agent, and the produced Cu 2 O nanoparticles were deposited on the MWNTs with the help of poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP)…

We investigate the low-spin to high-spin transition of cobalt in $\mathrm{La}\mathrm{Co}{\mathrm{O}}_{3}$. The underlying physics of the transition is related to the large totally symmetric relaxation of ligands accompanying the electron conversion from the ${t}_{2g}$ to the ${e}_{g}$ orbitals of ${\mathrm{Co}}^{3+}$.…

Excited states of stilbenylpyrroles 1a-1c deactivate by two photochemical processes: cis-trans-isomerization and hydrogen transfer of NH to the stilbene double bond. NH-transfer results in the formation of two quinone dimethane intermediates, 10 and 11, and biradicals 12. Intramolecular cyclization of intermediates 10…
