Abstract Crosslink distributions in gum natural rubber (NR)/ cis -poly(butadiene) (BR) blend vulcanizates have been studied previously for cure states ranging from times shortly after the onset of cure to over-cure at 150 and 175 °C, respectively. The effects of lower cure temperatures on the crosslink distributions t…

The octamer motif (ATTTGCAT) present in several eukaryotic promoters and enhancers is now known to influence the transcription of several genes by interacting with members of a broad family of homeodomain proteins. The promoter of the human class II MHC gene HLA-DRA contains a conserved octamer element that can bind (…

We report experimental evidence for a weak first-order nematic-nematic transition in thin ( ∼ 1–2 μm) cells of the strongly polar nematogen, p -cyanophenyl p - n heptylbenzoate. The transition temperature T NN increases as the thickness of the cell decreases indicating that, in the bulk, this transition may occur at t…

The phase content of a low-density polyethylene was studied by analysis of the CH 2 rocking vibrations in non-oriented films prepared from the press (P-films) or from solution (S-films). Spectral simulations of the transmission spectra give the mass fractions of the orthorhombic phase α ortho and of two noncrystalline…

Ultraviolet (UV) blocking filters are needed for atomic flux imaging in environments where high levels of ultraviolet radiation are present. Freestanding gratings are a promising candidate for UV filtering. They have a high aspect ratio (∼13), narrow (∼40 nm) slots, and effectively block UV radiation. The grating fabr…

A surface reaction model for the catalyzed reaction A+(12)B2→AB is studied by means of Monte Carlo simulations. Motivated by experiments on the catalytic oxidation of CO on certain Pt surfaces; i.e., A≡CO, B2≡O2, and AB≡CO2; it is assumed that the catalyst surface undergoes reactant’s induced reversible phase transiti…

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Many magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) agents are Gd(III)-based; its half-filled f-shell has an S-ground state and hence a long electronic relaxation time, leading to comparably large effects on 1/T1 and 1/T2 of water protons with no shift in the water-proton resonance frequency. 1/T1 and 1/T2…

This paper describes a novel way to prepare the ternary phase Ti 3 SiC 2 in a single‐step procedure that we call electron‐beam‐ignited solid‐state reaction (EBI‐SSR). The preparation route is discussed by means of an isothermal section of the Ti‐Si‐C phase diagram. Properties such as the Vickers hardness and the elect…

A microcalorimetric technique has been developed to measure crystal-growth kinetics and enthalpies of crystallization. The enthalpy of crystallization of hen egg-white lysozyme in 0.1 M acetate buffer at pH 4.6 was determined at 287 K using this technique. The enthalpies were directly measured to be -14.3 +/- 2.0 and…

Applying the augmented spherical wave method, the Heusler alloy Fe3-x Mn x Si is studied for integer values of x where it forms fairly well ordered intermetallic compounds. In our calculation we allow for non-collinear spin ordering. It is found that the magnetic ground state changes from a ferromagnet for Fe3Si to a…
