Sonochemistry arises from acoustic cavitation; the formation, growth, and implosive collapse of bubbles in a liquid. The implosive collapse of bubble generates localized hot spot; temperature of similar to 5000 K and pressure of similar to 1800 atm, with heating and cooling rates that exceed 10(7) K/s. Using these ext…
In this article, we report the first experimental observation of resonance light absorption by a fabricated subnanostructure and high frequency rectification in the range corresponding to that of visible light. The subnanostructure consists of a parallel dipole antenna array. A resonance peak signal of short circuit c…
We have nickel doped boron carbide grown by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition. The source gas closo-1,2-dicarbadodecaborane (ortho-carborane) was used to grow the boron carbide, while nickelocene [Ni(C5H5)2] was used to introduce nickel into the growing film. The doping of nickel transformed a p-type, B5C mate…
It is generally found that grinding transverse to the tensile stress direction in flexure bars subjected to four-point bending results in a lower strength compared to grinding in the longitudinal direction. In the present study, standard flexure specimens made from a reaction-bonded and a sintered reaction-bonded sili…
The electrochemical characteristics of fullerenes and fluorinated fullerenes have been investigated by cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic discharge using solid‐state lithium cells , and , MEP‐7 = a polyphosphazene derivative). In the cyclic voltammograms of and , the first half‐wave potential of is found to be 0.2 V…
Analysis of the active-site residues of a fully functional chorismate mutase representing the N-terminal 113 amino acids of the Escherichia coli P-protein suggests that Lys39 and Gln88 play critical roles in catalyzing the rearrangement of chorismate to prephenate. Five site-directed mutants at these positions have be…
Using a polarizing optical microscope in conjunction with a charged-coupled device camera system, the domain microstructural evolution with respect to temperature in all three phases of BaTiO3 was studied. Along a (001) oriented section the domains in the tetragonal phase form 90° domain patterns in an ‘a—a’ configura…
Expression of the Kdp system sensitizes cells to methylglyoxal (MG) whether this electrophile is added externally or is synthesized endogenously. The basis of this enhanced sensitivity is the maintenance of a higher cytoplasmic pH (pHi) in cells expressing Kdp. In such cells, MG elicits rapid cytoplasmic acidification…
Polyrotaxane‐like structures consisting of macrocycles trapped to form a polymeric network (see Figure) have been synthesized using a pre‐assembling principle. The synthesis and electrochemical characterization of thin films are described. In addition to the classical properties of organic conducting polymers, the ass…
Novel calcium phosphate ceramics were fabricated by hot‐pressing fibrous products extracted from crystallized products of calcium ultraphosphate glasses by aqueous leaching. The ceramics were dense materials with a relative density of >95%; these ceramics were composite materials that consisted of β‐Ca(PO 3 ) 2 fib…
Abstract Microcrystallites of (NH4)3PW12O40 self-assembled to form symmetric dodecahedral aggregates (ca. 0.5–6 μm in size) in which the microcrystallites joined together with the same crystal orientation, by controlled deposition of NH4 salts from a heated aqueous solution of H3PW12O40. These aggregates were highly p…
British Airways has carried out radiation monitoring in Concorde for more than 20 years and has used a heuristic model based on data quoted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to model radiation exposure in all longhaul fleets. From these data it has been calculated that no flight deck crew wou…
Colominic acid is a capsular homopolymer from Escherichia coli K1 composed of alpha (2-8)-linked N-acetyl-D-neuraminic acid (NeuAc) residues. Recently, we have described that NeuAc synthesis in this bacterium occurs through the action of NeuAc lyase (EC 4.1.3.3) [ Rodríguez-Aparicio, Ferrero and Reglero (1995) Biochem…
A novel pathway for the synthesis of poly-3-hydroxybutyrate has been engineered by simultaneous delivery of two genes into insect cells (Spodoptera frugiperda) by use of individual baculovirus vectors. This system includes expression of a dehydrase-domain mutant rat fatty acid synthase cDNA and the phbC gene encoding…
Monolithic ceramics, such as silicon nitride, silicon carbide, aluminum nitride, zirconia, and alumina; particulate- and whisker-reinforced ceramic-matrix composites; and ceramic coatings pose difficulties in machining. Because of the high hardness and low toughness of these materials, diamond grinding is often the me…
Polycarbonate (PC) can be easily crystallized by injecting a very dilute benzene solution of PC directly into liquid nitrogen, and then freeze-drying to remove the solvent. The crystallinities of these prepared samples were characterized by wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD). The results of WAXD studies showed that t…
The present work indicates through thermodynamic considerations that YLiO 2 additive is beneficial for low‐temperature sintering of AlN ceramics. Pressureless sintering of commercially available AIN powders with simultaneous additions of YLiO 2 and CaO resulted in materials with high thermal conductivity (170 W·m –1 ·…
The main objective of this paper is to report on a newly developed three phase TCR model for SVC which is based on the use of harmonic switching vectors and discrete convolutions. This model is amenable to direct frequency domain operations and provided a fast and reliable means for assessing 6- and l2-pulse TCR plant…
In order to improve wettability of polycarbonate to triple distilled water, an Ar+ ion and an oxygen ion were irradiated on a polycarbonate (PC) surface under various oxygen flow rates. Doses of ions were changed from 5×1014 to 5×1016 ion/cm2 in a range from 500 eV to 1.5 keV energy by a broad ion beam source. Wetting…
Aqueous solutions of Al 3+ and Fe 3+ nitrates were pyrolyzed to produce (Al,Fe) 2 O 3 amorphous solid solutions with up to 50 mol% Fe 2 O 3 . Following subsequent heat treatments, all compositions first crystallized to γ‐(Al,Fe) 2 O 3 and those with ≥20% Fe 2 O 3 ultimately partitioned into a mixture of A1 2 O 3 and F…
