Steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence techniques, in addition to quantum mechanical calculations, were employed to study the excited-state proton transfer (ESPT) to solvent of three 7-hydroxycoumarin dyes. We found that for 7-hydroxycoumarins in water, the ESPT rate is high, about 2 × 10 10 s –1, whereas in meth…

A viscoelastic test was made for end-carboxylated polyisoprene (PI-COOH) of the molecular weight M = 30. 5 × 10 3 that underwent the interchain association and dissociation through hydrogen bonding of the COOH groups at the chain end. As a reference, the test was made also for neat PI unimer (with no COOH group at the…

By means of first-principles calculations we study the structural, magnetic and electronic properties of SrRuO3 surface for the SrO termination. We find that the RuO6 octahedra and the structure of the SrO layers at the surface are strongly modified as well as the Ru-O-Ru bond angles. We find in the thin films a d xy…

Biochar (BC) addition to soil is a proposed strategy to enhance soil fertility and crop productivity. However, there is limited knowledge regarding responses of soil respiration and C-cycle enzyme activities to BC and nitrogen (N) additions in a calcareous soil. A 56-day incubation experiment was conducted to investig…

The amino acid sequences of primordial enzymes from extinct organisms can be determined by an in silico approach termed ancestral sequence reconstruction (ASR). In the first step of an ASR, a multiple sequence alignment (MSA) comprising extant homologous enzymes is being composed. On the basis of this MSA and a stocha…

We propose a novel mechanism for generating electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in a symmetric metamaterial. The proposed metamaterial consists of double nanorod pairs, perpendicular to each other in the form of a 2-by-2 matrix. This metamaterial shows a polarization-independent EIT-like effect without brea…
