Recent work exploring phase separation and self-assembly in multicomponent polymer fluids using a particle-based self-consistent field simulation method is reviewed. The computational method is placed in the context of classical molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulations as well as field-theoretic approaches. Its…
AIM: To evaluate the anticancer property of the dried latex (DL) of Calotropis procera, a tropical medicinal plant, in the X15-myc transgenic mouse model of hepatocellular carcinoma and to elucidate its mechanism of action in cell culture. METHODS: The young transgenic mice were orally fed with the aqueous suspension…

A mesoporous silica (SBA-15) has been chemically modified with 2-mercaptopyrimidine using the homogeneous route. This synthetic route involved the reaction of 2-mercaptopyrimidine with 3-chloropropyltriethoxysilane prior to immobilization on the support. The resulting material has been characterized by powder X-ray di…
Sources of coherent, monochromatic short-wavelength infrared (1-2 mum) light are essential in telecommunications, biomedical diagnosis, and optical sensing. Today's semiconductor lasers are made by epitaxial growth on a lattice-matched single-crystal substrate. This strategy is incompatible with integration on silicon…
Composite electrodes of yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) with La 0.8 Sr 0.2 Mn O 3 (LSM), La 0.8 Sr 0.2 Fe O 3 (LSF), and La 0.8 Sr 0.2 Co O 3 (LSCo) were prepared and tested as solid oxide electrolyzer (SOE) anodes and solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) cathodes at 973 K , using cells with a YSZ electrolyte and a Co-ceria-…
PURPOSE: To establish a matrix of parameters to synthesize nanoparticles of different sizes and to investigate the cellular uptake of these nanoparticles by osteosarcoma cancer cells in order to investigate their potential as therapeutic drugdelivery carriers. METHODS: Gelatin A and B were used to synthesize nanoparti…
Monodisperse silica-polyaniline core-shell nanoparticles with an average diameter of 26 nm were synthesized by in-situ polymerisation of aniline monomers adsorbed on the silica surface through electrostatic interactions.
Abstract Raman spectroscopy is a widely used analytical tool capable of providing valuable information about the chemical structure and composition of molecules. In order to detect substances also at a very low concentration levels, Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) was introduced. The different amplification m…
The stabilization of air bubbles by hydrophobically modified silica particles has been investigated in detail. The silica particles used had a nominal primary particle size of 20 nm and were made hydrophobic by treatment with dichlorodimethylsilane to yield particles with varying percent grafting of alkyl chains ("% S…
We study experimentally the nonequilibrium phase behaviour of a horizontal monolayer of macroscopic rods. The motion of the rods in two dimensions is driven by vibrations in the vertical direction. In addition to varying packing fraction and aspect ratio as in most studies on hard-particle systems, we take advantage o…
Numerical simulations of a near-infrared negative-index metamaterial (NIM) slab consisting of multiple layers of perforated metal-dielectric stacks exhibiting a small imaginary part of the index over the wavelength range for negative refraction are presented. A consistent effective index is obtained using both scatter…
Commercial transportation fuels are complex mixtures containing hundreds or thousands of chemical components, whose composition has evolved considerably during the past 100 years. In conjunction with concurrent engine advancements, automotive fuel composition has been fine-tuned to balance efficiency and power demands…
We have measured thermal conductivity of GdVO(4), YVO(4), and Y(3)Al(5)O(12). In order to avoid the miss leading from three-dimensional (3D) thermal diffusion, we developed the quasi-one-dimensional (q1D) flash method. By taking in account the heat radiation effect in transparent materials for this measurement, YVO(4)…
In this study, an experimental device assuring the vertical suspension of a cloth surface and permitting the measure of the capillary ascension and the mass of liquid rising in fabrics is developed. The results show that the construction of the fabric and the composition and the number of yarns per centimeter have a s…
We have performed soft X-ray angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (SXARPES) of microwave plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition diamond films with different B concentrations in order to study the origin of the metallic behavior of superconducting diamond. SXARPES results clearly show valence band dispersions w…
In a recent X-ray absorption study in boron doped diamond, Nakamura et al. have seen a well isolated narrow boron impurity band in non-superconducting samples and an additional narrow band at the chemical potential in a superconducting sample. We interpret the beautiful spectra as evidence for upper Hubbard band of a…
Gold clusters modified with first, second and third generation dendritic polyphenylazomethines (DPA) were synthesized by an exchanged reaction of corresponding DPA dendron thiols. Measurements by high performance perfect sizer (HPPS) and TEM reveal that their diameters increase with a change in the chain length of the…
A hybrid nanomaterial was prepared by human serum albumin (HSA) and vitamin B12 derivatives. The incorporation of hydrophobic vitamin B12 derivatives, which have ester groups in place of the peripheral amide moieties of the natural cobalamin, into HSA is primarily controlled by the hydrophobicity of the peripheral est…
The dispersion of acoustic and optical phonons in highly boron-doped diamond has been measured by inelastic X-ray scattering at an energy resolution of 6.4 meV. The sample is doped in the metallic regime and shows superconductivity below 4.2 K (midpoint). The data are compared to pure and nitrogen-doped diamond that r…
