BACKGROUND: In bacteria, such as Salmonella typhimurium, tryptophan is synthesized from indole-3-glycerole phosphate (IGP) by a tryptophan synthase alphabetabetaalpha heterotetramer. Plants have evolved multiple alpha (TSA) and beta (TSB) homologs, which have probably diverged in biological function and their ability…

Relaxation time dispersions in glass forming metallic liquids of diverse fragility characters were reviewed mainly based on mechanical relaxations. The compilation of the stretching exponents revealed the common nonexponential dynamic features among the metallic liquids. The time-temperature-superposition law of the r…

Aggregation of gold nanoparticles of increasing size has been studied as a consequence of adsorption of 2-aminothiophenol (ATP) on gold nanoparticle surfaces. The capping property of ATP in the acidic pH range has been accounted from UV-vis absorption spectroscopy and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) studies.…

In the present study, a new collection of 79 functional groups are used to correlate flash point temperature (FP) of pure components. These functional groups construct an accurate neural network−group contribution correlation to estimate flash point of pure components. For developing the model, 1378 pure components of…

Using molecular dynamics simulations with Tersoff reactive many-body potential for Si-Si, Si-C, and C-C interactions, we have calculated the thermal conductance at the interfaces between carbon nanotube (CNT) and silicon at different applied pressures. The interfaces are formed by axially compressing and indenting cap…

Photochromic behavior of diarylethene derivatives with (4-pyridyl)ethynyl group directly attached to the 6-pi hexatriene moieties of the diarylethenes was investigated. Upon quaternarization of the pyridine moieties, the photoreactivity was strongly suppressed. On the other hand, diarylethene derivatives with nonconju…

Zirconia coating of the mesopore walls of the mesoporous silica material SBA-15 is achieved by internal hydrolysis of a zirconia precursor, which is loaded inside the mesopores, using NH3/H2O vapor at elevated temperature and subsequent calcination (see figure). High loadings of zirconia, more than 30 wt%, can be coat…

A sandwich structured left-handed metamaterial (LHM) based on a silver dendritic cell array is prepared by using a double template-assisted electrochemical deposition method. This bottom-up approach provides a facile, lower-cost method to fabricate LHMs of larger areas at IR and even visible light frequencies.

When a small amount of CuO was added to (Na 0.5 K 0.5 )NbO 3 (NKN) ceramics sintered at 960°C for 2 h, a dense microstructure with increased grains was developed, probably due to liquid‐phase sintering. The Curie temperature slightly increased when CuO exceeded 1.5 mol%. The Cu 2+ ion was considered to have replaced t…
