Given the globalization of the construction industry, there are increasing numbers of expatriate construction professionals (ExCPs). The work practices and living environment are different between home and host countries, which often induce stress in ExCPs, cause underperformance, and reduce intention to stay for expa…
Gold nanoparticles were synthesized using a water extract of Artemisia capillaris (AC-AuNPs) under different extract concentrations, and their catalytic activity was evaluated in a 4-nitrophenol reduction reaction in the presence of sodium borohydride. The AC-AuNPs showed violet or wine colors with characteristic surf…
Graphene/graphene oxide (GO)-based paper is attracting great interest owing to its multiple functionalities. In this study, we successfully synthesized a triblock copolymer by atom transfer radical polymerization method in terms of molecular design. The copolymer was comprised of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and poly(g…
Comparison of conventional and newly developed laccase-based electrocatalytic systems for oxygen reduction.
A doubly interpenetrated metal–organic framework [Cu 2 L(DMF)(H 2 O)]·DMF·H 2 O ( ZJU-199, ZJU = Zhejiang University; H 3 BTTA = benzene-1,3,5-triacrytic acid; DMF = N,N -dimethylformamide) has been successfully synthesized. The resulting ZJU-199 exhibits moderate C 2 H 2 uptake of 128.0 cm 3 ·g –1 and high selectivit…
ions as a result of the deficiency of solvent molecules. This results in more complex structural patterns involving certain "characteristic" polyhedron connectivities, such as octahedra sharing ligands with capped trigonal prisms, and tetrahedra sharing ligands with trigonal bipyramids. The simulations were performed…
Background During myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R), a large amount of reactive oxygen species ( ROS ) is produced. In particular, overproduction of hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) is considered to be a main cause of I/R‐mediated tissue damage. We generated novel H 2 O 2 ‐responsive antioxidant polymer nanoparticles…
Graphene oxide (GO), the oxidized form of graphene, holds great potential as a component of biomedical devices, deriving utility from its ability to support a broad range of chemical functionalities and its exceptional mechanical, electronic, and thermal properties. GO composites can be tuned chemically to be biomimet…
High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide The clinical value of current and future nanomedicines can be improved by introducing patient selection strategies based on noninvasive sensitive whole-body imaging techniques such as positron emission tomography (PET). Thus, a broad method to radiolabel and track pre…
AIM: To investigate the interaction behavior of M1- and M2-type macrophages with nanoparticles of different sizes with/without the presence of serum. MATERIALS & METHODS: THP-1 human monocytes were differentiated into M1 and M2 macrophages, and the uptake of silica nanoparticle (50-1000 nm) was studied using flow cyto…
A Zn‐based metal–organic framework (MOF) with hydrazinebenzoate linkers was evaluated as antimicrobial material against the Gram‐positive bacterium Staphylococcus aureus. The material inhibits bacterial growth and metabolic activity, with a half maximal effective concentration of about 20 mg L–1 material dispersed in…
Light‐ and elevated temperature‐induced degradation in multicrystalline silicon can reduce the efficiency of solar cells significantly. In this work, the influence of the firing process and its temperature profile on the degradation behaviour of neighbouring mc‐Si wafers is analysed. Five profiles with measured high p…
It is shown that the dissolution of elemental sulfur into, and its diffusion through, the electrolyte allows cycling of lithium–sulfur batteries in which the sulfur is initially far removed and electrically insulated from the current collector. These findings help to understand why liquid electrolyte lithium–sulfur ba…
Neural networks have generated valuable Quantitative Structure-Activity/Property Relationships (QSAR/QSPR) models for a wide variety of small molecules and materials properties. They have grown in sophistication and many of their initial problems have been overcome by modern mathematical techniques. QSAR studies have…
Conspectus Conjugated polymer zwitterions (CPZs) are neutral, hydrophilic, polymer semiconductors. The pendent zwitterions, viewed as side chain dipoles, impart solubility in polar solvents for solution processing, and open opportunities as interfacial components of optoelectronic devices, for example, between metal e…
Droplets splash when they impact dry, flat substrates above a critical velocity that depends on parameters such as droplet size, viscosity, and air pressure. By imaging ethanol drops impacting silicone gels of different stiffnesses, we show that substrate stiffness also affects the splashing threshold. Splashing is re…
Abstract Surface plasmons excited by light in metal structures provide a means for manipulating optical energy at the nanoscale. Plasmons are associated with the collective oscillations of conduction electrons in metals and play a role intermediate between photonics and electronics. As such, plasmonic devices have bee…
Spin-orbit interactions are responsible for intriguing phenomena such as topological insulating states. Now, scientists study the spin-orbit interactions of electrons directly at the interface between graphene and transition-metal dichalcogenides.
" transducing elements. Our aim is to show the wide potential of abiotic nanopores in sensing and signal transduction and also to promote the potential of this technology among doctoral students, postdocs, and researchers. We believe that even a casual reader of this perspective will not fail to be impressed by the we…
A homogenization model is developed that describes the effective elastic constants of polycrystalline materials with constituent crystallites of general anisotropy (triclinic symmetry). The model is solved through an iterative technique where successive iterations improve the estimates of the polycrystal's elastic con…
