Abstract A one‐dimensional pattern‐forming state of a cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) is used as a template for the self‐organization of ordered, spatially orientated, acetylene‐based semiconducting polymers. The polymers are formed by metathesis reaction with all chemical components contained in an ordinary electro‐…

Abstract Nickel sulfide (NiS) hollow spheres have been successfully synthesized by γ‐irradiation, at room temperature, of an aqueous PMMA–CS 2 –ethanol solution that contains NiSO 4 ·6H 2 O. Electron microscopy results show that the diameter of the NiS hollow spheres and the thickness of the sphere shells are about 50…

Euhedral macrocrystals of Pt-Fe alloy from the Kondyor PGE placer, Khabarovskiy Kray, eastern Siberia, Russia, have a relatively constant composition of Pt 2.4-2.6 Fe, tin and antimony contents up to 0.3 wt.%, and an unusually low content of all PGE except Pt. The millimetric crystals contain inclusions of fluorapatit…

Abstract Several sandwich‐type polyoxometallates based on the trivacant [PW 9 O 34 ] 9− fragment with different Ni nuclearities were selected. Their stability and redox behaviour in aqueous media were evaluated by UV/Vis spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry as a function of pH with the aim of finding the conditions und…

We present structural data on the RI alpha isoform of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase A that reveal, for the first time, a large scale conformational change within the RI alpha homodimer upon catalytic subunit binding. This result infers that the inhibition of catalytic subunit activity is not the result of a simple…

Calcium lactate (CaL2) crystal formation on the surface of cheese continues to be a widespread problem for the cheese industry despite decades of research. To prevent those crystals from forming, it is necessary to keep the concentration of CaL2 below saturation level. The limited data available on the solubility of C…

Abstract The morphologies of Ag particles can be controlled between distorted sphere and prism by employing microwave-promoted reductions of highly concentrated 0.1 M silver nitrate in aqueous solutions. We can selectively synthesize either sphere-Ag or prism-Ag particles by changing only an additive, i.e., either tri…

This study assesses the nickel content of as-received and retrieved stainless steel and NiTi archwires alloys. New and used brand-matched, composition-matched, and cross section-matched archwires were subjected to scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive electron probe microanalysis. Elemental analysis was p…

α‐Al 2 O 3 platelet powders were synthesized in molten Na 2 SO 4 flux. The size of α‐Al 2 O 3 platelets was significantly reduced when partially decomposed rather than pure Al 2 (SO 4 ) 3 was used as the source of Al 2 O 3 ; a further reduction in the platelet size was realized through additional seeding with nanosize…

This paper deals with the densification and phase transformation during pressureless sintering of Si 3 N 4 with LiYO 2 as the sintering additive. The dilatometric shrinkage data show that the first Li 2 O‐ rich liquid forms as low as 1250°C, resulting in a significant reduction of sintering temperature. On sintering a…
