This communication reports on the preparation and electric properties of dense nanocrystalline ZnO ceramics. By spark plasma sintering, nanocrystalline (∼100 nm) ZnO ceramics with a high density of 98.5% were obtained at a very low temperature of 550°C. Electric property measurement revealed a novel conduction nonline…

This review deals with the current status of newly developed pendant-type PEG-immunoliposomes (Type C), carrying monoclonal antibodies or their fragments (Fab') at the distal ends of the PEG chains. In terms of target binding of Type C, two different anatomical compartments are considered. They are mouse lung endothel…

We present a method for the calculation of the local electric field at the surface of a nanoscopic emitting structure. The method is here applied to carbon nanotubes (NT) where symmetry makes the application of the method easier. The NT is simulated as a cylindrical array of touching spheres, each sphere representing…

A unified approach to the analysis of the mechanisms that lead to the edge reconstruction of graphite and growth of a variety of non-planar graphitic structures, such as nanotubes, is suggested. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) shows that nano-arches are formed on the edge planes of natural and synthetic graphit…

The preparation of LaCuOS1−xSex solid solutions (x=0.0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1.0) was attempted to control their energy gap and band edge emission energy. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the lattice constant of LaCuOS1−xSex increased linearly with increasing x, indicating the formation of a complete solid sol…

Abstract The rate constants of epoxidation were determined by reacting formic acid with a number of oils, pure TAG, and pure FAME. These results showed that FA composition had a significant effect on the value of the rate constant. In TAG, the double bonds of oleic acid and linoleic acid were equally reactive, and the…

It is shown that the D’yakonov-Perel’ spin relaxation mechanism in a two-dimensional electron gas is controlled not only by the electron-momentum relaxation that accounts for the electron mobility but also by the electron-electron collisions. The kinetic equation describing the mixing of electron spin in the k space w…

Abstract The performance of wood particle/polypropylene (PP) composites with modified compatibilities was compared. Woodflour modification was performed by esterification with maleic anhydride (MAN) and a non‐commercial maleic anhydride‐polypropylene copolymer (PPMAN) was selected as compatibilizing agent. The thermog…

Using the Lagrangian formalism, coupled equations of radial and translational motions of a spherical gas bubble in an acoustic wave field are derived. The equation of radial motion is then modified, for the purpose of allowing for effects of liquid compressibility, using Keller–Miksis’ approach, and the equation of tr…

The large variation in size and shape in diatoms is shown by morphometric measurements of 515 benthic and pelagic diatom species from the Baltic Sea area. The largest mean cell dimension (mostly the apical axis) varied between 4.2 and 653 μm, cell surface area between 55 and 344,000 μm 2 , and cell volume between 21 a…
