OBJECTIVE: Ferumoxtran-10 is an MRI contrast agent, which accumulates in macrophages and induces magnetic susceptibility artifacts (MSAs). We evaluated the ability of ferumoxtran-10-enhanced MRI to quantify focal macrophage infiltration in the aortic wall of hypercholesterolemic rabbits. METHODS AND RESULTS: Six weeks…
The microstructure and absorption/desorption characteristics of composite MgH2 and 5 wt % as-prepared single-walled carbon nanotubes (MgH2-5ap) obtained by the mechanical grinding method were investigated. Experimental results show that the MgH2-5ap sample exhibits faster absorption kinetics and relatively lower desor…
We have investigated crystal structure, chemical bonding, and electronic properties of the compounds ${\mathrm{Bi}}_{2}{\mathrm{Se}}_{3}$, BiSe, ${\mathrm{Bi}}_{4}{\mathrm{Se}}_{3}$, and ${\mathrm{Bi}}_{2}\mathrm{Se}$ by first-principles calculations within the density functional theory. The compounds are members of a…
A new macrocyclic DOTA-like ligand (BPAMD) for bone imaging and therapy containing a monoamide bis(phosphonic acid) bone-seeking group was designed and synthesized. Its lanthanide(III) complexes were prepared and characterized by 1H and 31P NMR spectroscopy. The Gd(III)-BPAMD complex was investigated in detail by 1H a…
We report a simple modification of poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) surfaces with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) through the adsorption of a graft copolymer, poly(l-lysine)-graft-poly(ethylene glycol) (PLL-g-PEG) from aqueous solution. In this approach, the PDMS surface was treated with oxygen plasma, followed by immersion…
Three dimetallic monoethoxide complexes supported by a binucleating phenoxide ligand, LM2Cl2OEt (M = Zn, Co, or Mg), were prepared and shown by X-ray crystallography to be structurally analogous. Comparative studies of their cyclic ester polymerization reactivity revealed different trends for reactions with epsilon-ca…
Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to study Pt/Au clusters of different size, structure, and composition as well as their interactions with a CO molecule. Among the Pt/Au isomers studied here, the planar structure is the most stable structure in many Pt compositions, although three-dimensional…
[reaction: see text] Photochromic diarylethene derivatives having benzofuran heteroaryl groups, bis(2-methyl-1-benzofuran-3-yl)perfluorocyclopentene and bis(2-butyl-1-benzofuran-3-yl)perfluorocyclopentene, were synthesized, and their photochromic performance was examined in hexane solution as well as in the single-cry…
Current-induced magnetization dynamics in a trilayer structure composed of two ferromagnetic free layers and a nonmagnetic spacer is examined. Both free layers are treated as a monodomain magnetic body with an uniform agnetization. The dynamics of the two magnetizations is modeled by modified Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert e…
The scaling behavior of the Portevin-Le Chatelier (PLC) effect was studied by deforming Al-2.5%Mg alloy for a wide range of strain rates. To reveal the exact scaling nature, the time series data of true stress vs. time, obtained during deformation, were analyzed by two complementary methods: the finite variance scalin…
The dc magnetization (M) and electrical resistivity (ρ) as functions of magnetic field and temperature are reported for a series of lightly electron dopedCa(1-x)La(x)MnO(3) (0<=x<=0.10) specimens for which magnetization [Phys. Rev. B {\bf 61}, 14319 (2000)] and scattering studies [Phys. Rev. B {\bf 68}, 134440 (2003)]…
We report the results of Monte Carlo simulations with the aim to clarify the microscopic origin of exchange bias in the magnetization hysteresis loops of a model of individual core/shell nanoparticles. Increase of the exchange coupling across the core/shell interface leads to an enhancement of exchange bias and to an…
The magnetic properties of the intermetallic compound FeAl are investigated using exact exchange density functional theory. This is implemented within a state of the art all-electron full potential method. We find that FeAl is magnetic with a moment of 0.70 $μ_B$, close to the LSDA result of 0.69 $μ_B$. A comparison w…
The hydrodynamic force experienced by a spherical-cap drop moving on a solid surface is obtained from two approximate analytical solutions and used to predict the quasi-steady speed of the drop in a wettability gradient. One solution is based on approximation of the shape of the drop as a collection of wedges, and the…
In this study, we demonstrate a novel method for preparing crystallized mesoporous titania by using a low-temperature synthesis technique in the presence of cationic surfactant. XRD patterns showed that the titania particles obtained had both hexagonal structure and a wall with anatase crystalline structure. Transmiss…
An exploratory thermal interface structure, made of vertically oriented carbon nanotubes directly grown on a silicon substrate, has been thermally characterized using a 3-omega method. The effective thermal conductivities of the carbon nanotubes (CNT) sample, including the effects of voids, are found to be 74W∕mK to 8…
Magnesium hydride is cheap and contains 7.7 wt % hydrogen, making it one of the most attractive hydrogen storage materials. However, thermodynamics dictate that hydrogen desorption from bulk magnesium hydride only takes place at or above 300 degrees C, which is a major impediment for practical application. A few resul…
We have investigated the structure of films thermally evaporated onto anodic aluminum oxide substrates that are patterned with a hexagonal array of 34 and 80 nm diameter holes spaced by 100 nm. Over a range of film thicknesses, Pb and Sn films spontaneously self-assemble into an array of nanocrystals in registry with…
Abstract Electrical conductivity in a novel nonconjugated conductive polymer, poly(β‐pinene), has been measured as a function of molar concentration of iodine. The conductivity increases about 10 orders of magnitude to a maximum value ˜8 × 10 −3 S/cm. The molar concentration of iodine, corresponding to saturation, is…
We report a series of silica, titania, and zirconia microstructures synthesized within swollen poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS). Voids created by solvent-swelling the polymer are used to template the product. The inorganic morphologies range from spheres to networks, depending upon the nature of the polymer, its degree o…
