Magnetic dipolar mode or magnetostatic (MS) oscillations in ferrite samples have the wavelength much smaller than the electromagnetic wavelength at the same frequency and, at the same time, much larger than the exchange interaction spin wavelength. This intermediate position between the electromagnetic and spin wave (…
A warm-white light-emitting diode (LED) without blending of different kinds of phosphors is demonstrated. An approach that consists of a blue LED chip and a wavelength-conversion phosphor is carried out. The phosphor is a newly developed yellowish orange CaEuSiAlON ceramic phosphor with high efficiency. The CIE1931 ch…
In this communication, we report our recent achievement in synthesis and self-assembly of both spherical and cubic PbTe nanocrystals using a high-temperature solution-phase synthesis approach. The possible mechanism of nanocrystalline evolution from spherical to cubic structure has also been discussed. It is possible…
One of the prominent shortcomings of matrices for tissue engineering is their poor ability to support angiogenesis. We report here on experiments to enhance the angiogenic properties of collagen matrices. Our aim is to achieve this goal by covalently incorporating heparin into collagen matrices and by physically immob…
We successfully prepared transparent and durable superhydrophobic silica‐coating films on cotton substrates at low temperatures. The coatings were produced via cohydrolysis and polycondensation of a hexadecyltrimethoxysilane (HDTMS), tetraethoxyorthosilcate (TEOS), and 3‐glycidyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPTMS) mixtu…
The perovskite (1−x)BiScO3-xPbTiO3 (BS-PT) system exhibits a large piezoelectric coefficient (d33>460pC∕N in polycrystalline form) and a high Curie temperature TC=450°C in the vicinity of the morphotropic phase boundary (x=0.64mol fraction PbTiO3), which separates the rhombohedral and tetragonal phases. The pre…
We report a systematic study to determine local elastic properties of surfaces combining atomic force microscope (AFM) with acoustic waves which is known as atomic force acoustic microscopy - AFAM. We describe the methodology of AFAM in detail and interpret the measurement using simple arguments and other complementar…
A macroscopic elastic description of stresses in static, preloaded granular media is derived systematically from the microscopic elasticity of individual inter-grain contacts. The assumed preloaded state and friction at contacts ensure that the network of inter-grain contacts is not altered by small perturbations. The…
The current regimen of chemotherapy is far from satisfactory--its efficiency is limited and patients suffer from serious side effects. Various drug delivery devices have been under intensive investigation in the past few decades in attempts to develop controlled and targeted methods of chemotherapy administration. Thi…
As the dimensions of electronic devices approach those of molecules, the size, geometry, and chemical composition of the contact electrodes play increasingly dominant roles in device functions. It is shown here that single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) can be used as quasi-one-dimensional (1D) electrodes to construct…
This work discusses the recombination mechanisms and the chemical nature of the emitting centers subjacent to the white-light emission of sol−gel derived amine-functionalized hybrids lacking metal activator ions, such as those based on 3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES), 3-glycidyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPTES),…
(Na 0.5 K 0.5 )NbO 3 with 0–20 mol% BaTiO 3 has been prepared following the conventional mixed oxide process. High-density samples were obtained through the addition of BaTiO 3 into (Na 0.5 K 0.5 )NbO 3 because of an increase in grain size. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that, during sintering, all of the BaTiO 3…
Multilayer films of shortened multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) are homogeneously and stably assembled on glassy carbon electrodes with the layer-by-layer (LBL) method, based on electrostatic interaction of positively charged poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) and negatively charged and shortened MWNTs. The fil…
Broadband infrared luminescence from bismuth-doped germanium oxide glasses prepared by a conventional melting-quenching technique was discovered. The absorption spectrum of the glasses covered a wide range from the visible to the near-infrared wavelength regions and consisted of five broad peaks below 370, 500, 700, 8…
A detailed investigation of the reliability aspects in nonvolatile phase-change memories (PCM) is presented, covering the basic aspects related to high density array NVM, i.e., data retention, endurance, program and read disturbs. The data retention capabilities and the endurance characteristics of single PCM cells ar…
A single-step synthesis of gold nanoparticles with an average diameter of approximately 10 nm from hydrogen tetrachloroaureate(III) hydrate (HAuCl4.3H2O) has been achieved in air-saturated aqueous solutions that contain poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(propylene oxide)-poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO-PPO-PEO) block copolymers but…
During the first hour after a sublethal dose of ionizing radiation, 72 genes were upregulated threefold or higher in D. radiodurans R1. Thirty-three of these loci were also among a set of 73 genes expressed in R1 cultures recovering from desiccation. The five transcripts most highly induced in response to each stress…
Acid-base balance is altered in a variety of common pathologies, including COPD, ischemia, renal failure, and cancer. Because of robust cellular pH homeostatic mechanisms, most of the pathological alterations in pH are expressed as changes in the extracellular, systemic pH. There are data to indicate that altered pH i…
Quantum dots (QDs) such as CdSe QDs have been introduced as new fluorophores. The QDs conjugated with antibody are starting to be widely used for immunostaining. However there is still not sufficient analysis of the toxicity of QDs in the literature. Therefore we evaluated the cell damage caused by the quantum dots fo…
The present review focuses on microbial type I fatty acid synthases (FASs), demonstrating their structural and functional diversity. Depending on their origin and biochemical function, multifunctional type I FAS proteins form dimers or hexamers with characteristic organization of their catalytic domains. A single poly…
