Abstract The properties that might influence the sequestration of aflatoxin B 1 (AfB 1 ) were examined. Laser-diffraction, particle-size analysis (LDPSA) indicated that the particle size of the smectite influences the amount of AfB 1 adsorbed. Effective adsorbent smectites disperse well under combined sodium hexametap…
In the quest for better fuel economy and improved environmental performance, magnesium may well become a metal of choice for constructing lighter, more efficient vehicles. Magnesium is the lightest structural metal, yet it has a high strength-to-weight ratio makes it comparable to steel in many applications. The world…
Arrays of polypyrrole nanorods were fabricated using an anodized aluminum oxide (AAO) template for use as supercapacitors. Gold was deposited on one side of the AAO template by thermoevaporation for use as an electrode and pyrrole was electrochemically polymerized, causing it to grow from the gold electrode into the A…
A multilayered foamed nanocomposite with graded concentration of carbon nanotubes is proposed as a novel microwave absorber. The dispersion and foaming process enables to control the gradation in conductivity of each layer. Absorption performances are demonstrated through measurements of reflectivity and shielding eff…
Particulate materials loaded under uniaxial compression and tension are studied using the discrete element method. Self-healing of the damaged samples is activated through sintering, a process that effectively increases the contact adhesion (i.e. the tensile strength) between particles. The initial sample is prepared…
The results of a comparative analysis performed on specimens of nanostructured epoxy resins obtained by different filler concentrations are reported in this paper. The specimens were prepared by dispersion of bohemite nanoparticles into a cycloaliphatic epoxy resin cross linked under UV. Dielectric properties, in part…
We have studied cluster ferromagnetism in InSb〈Mn〉 and have refined kinematic exchange theory with application to such diluted magnetic semiconductors.
Abstract BACKGROUND: Organic–inorganic nanocomposites were prepared by copolymerization of various monomers and polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) derivatives. Preliminary results showed that styrene/styryl–POSS copolymers could be obtained using CpTiCl 3 catalyst. In the work reported here, the copolymerizat…
Nuclease effects on the cell internalization of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) functionalized with fluorescent-labeled DNA in serum containing cell growth media were examined. When Cy3-labeled DNA-functionalized SWNT conjugates (Cy3DNA-SWNTs) were incubated with HeLa cells in a fatal bovine serum (FBS) medium,…
Consider a three dimensional system which looks like a cross connected pipe system, i.e., a small sample coupled to a finite number of leads. We investigate the current running through this system, in the linear response regime, when we adiabatically turn on an electrical bias between leads. The main technical tool is…
We performed a systematic investigation of the thermoelectric properties of TlMTe2, where M was Ga, In, or Tl, to elucidate the role of Tl in determining the properties, especially thermal conductivity (κ). TlGaTe2 and TlInTe2 exhibited predictable characteristics, i.e., semiconductorlike behaviors in the electrical p…
The kinetics of thermal desorption of two four-ring polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, fluoranthene, and pyrene from well-characterized laboratory-generated kerosene soot surface was studied over the temperature range 260-320 K in a low-pressure flow reactor combined with an electron-impact mass spectrometer. Two metho…
Novel liquid crystalline materials based on chiral calamitic 1,2,4‐ and 1,3,4‐oxadiazole derivatives were synthesized and their thermotropic mesomorphism investigated by polarizing optical microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry. The structures of their smectic phases were investigated by X‐ray diffraction. T…
Aluminum-doped ZnO (AZO) films were epitaxially grown on sapphire (0001) substrates using pulsed laser deposition. As-deposited AZO films had a low resistivity of 8.01×10−4 Ω cm. However, after annealing at 450 °C in air, the electrical resistivity of the AZO films increased to 1.97×10−1 Ω cm because of a decrease in…
First-principles calculations have been carried out to study the electronic properties of A2Ti2O7 (A=Sm, Gd, Er) pyrochlores. It was found that f electrons have negligible effect on the structural and energetic properties, but have significant effect on the electronic properties. Density of state analysis shows that A…
Onion-type multilamellar vesicles are made of concentric bilayers of organic surfactant and are mainly known for their potential applications in biotechnology. They can be used as microreactors for the spontaneous and controlled production of metal nanoparticles. This process does not require any thermal treatment and…
Abstract In pressurized water reactors, new operating conditions (higher burnup, new chemistry, etc.) can have an effect on the dimensional stability of the fuel assembly skeleton. Previous studies have shown that the fuel assembly growth is, among others parameters (free growth, creep), strongly driven by corrosion.…
Amorphous and polycrystalline indium tin oxide films have been prepared by electron-beam evaporation method. The amorphous films exhibit semiconductor behavior, while metallic conductivity is observed in the polycrystalline samples. The magnetoconductivities of the polycrystalline films are positive at low temperature…
A fully-customized phase change memory (PCM) model for circuit simulation has been developed and implemented in Verilog-A platform. A temperature sensing circuit is used to track the set and reset conditions of the PCM element. The current-voltage of PCM cell at the two different states and the change of states during…
We report the fabrication and the physical and optical characterizations of sulphide GaxGe25−xSb10S65(x=0,5) rib waveguides. High quality films fabricated on SiO2/Si wafer substrates were obtained using the sputtering magnetron rf deposition method. The slab waveguides obtained without annealing present propagation lo…
