Tetragonal tungsten bronzes (TTBs), an important class of oxides known to exhibit ferroelectricity, undergo complex distortions, including rotations of oxygen octahedra, which give rise to either incommensurately or commensurately modulated superstructures. Many TTBs display broad, frequency-dependent relaxor dielectr…
We study the equilibrium geometry and electronic structure of thin films of layered gray arsenic using ab initio density functional theory. In contrast to bulk gray As that is semimetallic, thin films display a significant band gap that depends sensitively on the number of layers, in-layer strain, layer stacking, and…
Conducting polymers display an ionic thermoelectric effect in addition to the known electronic thermoelectric effect. Their Seebeck coefficient is as large as ≈200 μV K−1. This finding discloses a new possible approach to improve the thermoelectric properties of conducting polymers by combining various types of charge…
Bionanotechnology has emerged up as integration between biotechnology and nanotechnology for developing biosynthetic and environmental friendly technology for synthesis of nanomaterials. Silver has been known to have effective bactericidal properties for centuries. Nowadays, silver based topical dressings have been wi…
Direct methane conversion into aromatic hydrocarbons over catalysts with molybdenum (Mo) nanostructures supported on shape-selective zeolites is a promising technology for natural gas liquefaction. We determined the identity and anchoring sites of the initial Mo structures in such catalysts as isolated oxide species w…
We report a significant enhancement of the thermoelectric performance of p-type SnTe over a broad temperature plateau with a peak ZT value of ∼1.4 at 923 K through In/Cd codoping and a CdS nanostructuring approach. Indium and cadmium play different but complementary roles in modifying the valence band structure of SnT…
We calculate nonequilibrium quasiparticle and phonon distributions for a number of widely-used low transition temperature thin-film superconductors under constant, uniform illumination by sub-gap probe and pair-breaking signal photons simultaneously. From these distributions we calculate material-characteristic parame…
Azadirachta indica is well known medicinal plant mentioned in ancient herbal texts. It has been extensively used in Ayurvedic, Unani and Homoeopathic medicine and has become a luminary of modern medicine. As part of our drug discovery program we isolated azadiradione from the ethanolic extract of seeds of A. indica an…
High pressure processing (HPP) is an emerging technology for food preservation, however its application in pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass has not been studied; therefore, the objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of HPP in combination with sodium hydroxide on the enzymatic hydrolysis of sugarcane…
Abstract Pervaporation is a well‐established separation technology for the production of anhydrous solvents, but its distribution in the chemical industry is still limited to a few individual applications. Besides the need of high‐selective membranes, the development of membrane modules adapted to the specific require…
Lithium ion, the first and the lightest metallic element, has the potential to generate novel materials and properties when used in the construction of metal–organic frameworks. However, so far this potential remains underexplored. Existing materials design methods developed from heavier and higher-valent elements, wh…
We studied the spin torque-induced magnetization dynamics of full-Heusler Co 2 (Fe,Mn)Si (CFMS) layers in current-perpendicular-to-plane (CPP) giant magnetoresistance (GMR) devices, and obtained the phase diagrams of spin torque-induced phenomena such as magnetization switching and spin torque oscillation. For a devic…
This is a tour of a physical chemist through 65 years of protein chemistry from the time when emphasis was placed on the determination of the size and shape of the protein molecule as a colloidal particle, with an early breakthrough by James Sumner, followed by Linus Pauling and Fred Sanger, that a protein was a real…
An objective and reliable evaluation method for the efficiency of singeing process is developed by use of digital image processing. The overall fabric surface roughness before and after the singeing process has been estimated and evaluated comprehensively, specifically experimenting for darker shade samples that are p…
Passive magnetic bearing (PMB), made of high remanence rare earth permanent magnets, is brittle in nature; therefore, precautions must be taken to reduce the chances of vibration transmitting to the permanent magnets. In the present work, a rotation magnetized direction (RMD) structure made of aluminum ring and square…
Protective corrosion resistant coatings serve for decreasing the amount of ionic contaminants from Havar® entrance foils of the targets for [ 18 F] production. The corrosion damage of coated entrance foils is caused mainly by the diffusion of highly reactive products of water radiolysis through the protective film tow…
DOI:10.17014/ijog.2.1.35-42Radon and thoron exhalation rate from soil is one of the most important factors that can influence the radioactivity level in the environment. Radon and thoron gases are produced by the decay of the radioactive elements those are radium and thorium in the soil, where its concentration depend…
Cytochrome c (cyt c) family proteins, such as horse cyt c, Pseudomonas aeruginosa cytochrome c551 (PA cyt c551), and Hydrogenobacter thermophilus cytochrome c552 (HT cyt c552), have been used as model proteins to study the relationship between the protein structure and folding process. We have shown in the past that h…
Microbial activity and the diversity of their catabolic potential would be stratified according to soil profile as a result of differing content of soil organic C and they would be altered by applying dairy sewage sludge (DSS) to the surface and subsequently ploughing. We applied 26 Mg ha −1 of DSS and the same nutrie…
Auxetic epoxy resin foams were produced by solid-state foaming thanks to the use of properly shaped precursors. In fact, a re-entrant hexagonal shape of the precursors is preserved during foaming and results in a foam with a complex structure: a thin macro-structure with the re-entrant geometry filled with foam. The a…
