Pyridoxal kinase catalyzes the transfer of a phosphate group from ATP to the 5' alcohol of pyridoxine, pyridoxamine, and pyridoxal. In this work, kinetic studies were conducted to examine monovalent cation dependence of human pyridoxal kinase kinetic parameters. The results show that hPLK affinity for ATP and PL is in…

A new strategy for preparing porphyrins that bear up to four different meso-substituents (ABCD-porphyrins) relies on two key reactions. One key reaction entails a directed synthesis of a 1-protected 19-acylbilane by acid-catalyzed condensation at high concentration (0.5 M) of a 1-acyldipyrromethane and a 9-protected d…

We use density functional theory to examine the properties of VO x ( x = 1−4) isolated clusters supported on rutile TiO 2 (110) and CeO 2 (111) surfaces. We calculate the structure of the clusters, the charge on the atoms in the clusters, the vanadium 2p core-level energies, the energy of the reactions VO x (s) + 1 /…

Abstract One of the most oft-confronted challenges in materials science, when using scanning electron microscopy, is the limitation of the size of the sample being examined, as well as the analysis application planned. Normally, only small samples in the order of ten to a hundred millimetres in diameter may be investi…

Very few studies have focused on the optimisation of the nanocrystalline pulsed plasma electrolytic carbonitriding process parameters. A design of experiment technique, the Taguchi method, has been used to optimise the nanocrystalline pulsed plasma electrolytic carbonitriding. The experimental design consisted of four…

Systematic study on magnetic and electrical transport properties has been performed on the Cr-doped Pr0.5Ca0.5Mn1−xCrxO3 (x=0, 0.03, 0.05, 0.07, 0.10) system. The results show that Cr-doping leads to melting of the charge ordering and induces phase separation. For the sample x=0.10, reentrant spin glass behavior is ob…

A method has been introduced to realize multi-states storage in phase change memory (PCM) by using stacked phase change films with different amorphous resistivity. The amorphous resistivity of each phase change layer was selected to make the stacked films crystallize successively with the increase of current, and so o…

Natural and synthetic layered iron hydroxysulfides: tochilinite and valleriite, have been investigated by Mössbauer spectroscopy. Tochilinite, magnetite, troilite, and pyrite phases were found in the products of tochilinite synthesis under different conditions. The relative contents of the phases found are determined…

The purpose of this study was to determine the most defensible taxonomic level (species or variety) of the diatom Cymbella janischii and whether it qualifies as a Northwest endemic. C. janischii and C. mexicana belong to a guild of stalked colonial benthic diatoms that have been responsible for aquatic habitat degrada…

This paper presents an original semi-analytical method (SAM) for computing the 2D current distribution in conductors and superconductors of arbitrary shape, discretized in triangular elements. The method is a generalization of the one introduced by Brandt in 1996, and relies on new and compact analytical relationships…

Abstract Usual rubber products are a composite from rubber and nano-filler ( e.g. silica, carbon black, etc. ), and it is believed that the good dispersion of the nano-filler is the most important issue determining the performance of rubber vulcanizates. So far, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has been the most…

Eu3+→Eu2+ conversion caused by thermal treatments and exposures to ionizing radiations was studied using photoluminescence in bulk and nano powders of CaF2:Eu. It was found that there is no radiation-induced Eu3+→Eu2+ conversion in the nano powders. Thermal Eu3+→Eu2+ conversion, on the other hand, takes place at much…
