A novel concept is proposed: the use of shape memory alloy (SMA) to reduce panel thermal deflection and flutter responses. SMA has a unique ability to recover large pre-strains completely when the alloy is heated above the austenite finish temperature A f . The transformation austenite start temperature A s for nitino…
Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are ideal systems for investigating fundamental properties in one-dimensional electronic systems and have the potential to revolutionize many aspects of nano/molecular electronics. Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) has been used to characterize the atomic structure and tunnelin…
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: An important characteristic of targeted contrast agents is how they are tolerated in a biologic environment and their localization in the surrounding tissues in addition to target tissue. We evaluate the biodistribution of a gadolinium Gd 153-folate-dendrimer in high affinity folate-receptor…
In this contribution we introduce a new apparatus combining high-resolution photoelectron spectroscopy and supersonic molecular beam techniques designed to follow simple surface reactions like adsorption, desorption or oxidation in situ in a time- and temperature-resolved manner. Using high brightness synchrotron radi…
Cyclic polarization (CYP) experiments were performed on reinforcing steel bars of various surface finishes in chloride-containing alkaline solutions (pH 11.6 ~ 13.6). Pitting initiation was observed at potentials below the oxygen evolution potential (EOE) when the solution [Cl–]/[OH–] ratio (CR) was high enough. The p…
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…
AIMS: To optimize the nutritional and environmental conditions for growth of and poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) accumulation in Bacillus mycoides RLJ B-017. METHODS AND RESULTS: An isolate, identified as B. mycoides, was grown on different sources of carbon and nitrogen. Among these, sucrose, beef extract and di-ammo…
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…
This article summarizes the enzyme-catalyzed synthesis and chemical recycling of biodegradable aliphatic polyesters and poly(carbonate ester)s directed towards establishing green polymer chemistry. Lipase catalyzes the condensation polymerization of a hydroxy acid, diacid with diol, diacid anhydride with oxirane, and…
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…
The tremendous potential for the manifold applications of porphyrins, porphyrazines, and phthalocyanines derives from their photophysical and electrochemical properties, their remarkable stability, and their predictable and rigid structure. These applications include nonlinear optics, catalysts, sensors, actuators, mo…
The compactness and fluidity of binary and ternary compound paste systems containing ultrafine powders such as pulverized fly ash (PFA), pulverized granulated blast furnace slag (PS) and silica fume (SF) were quantitatively studied with the relative density (d/d0) index. Through optimization of the proportions of comp…
Two resorcinarene surfactants with sulfur-functionalized headgroups have been evaluated for their ability to stabilize dispersions of midnanometer (16−87 nm)-sized gold particles in organic solvents. Citrate-stabilized colloidal gold nanoparticles were extracted from aqueous solutions into toluene or chloroform by tet…
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…
