Selenium nanoparticles loaded with an anticancer molecule offer a new strategy for cancer treatment. In the current study, anisomycin-loaded functionalized selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs@Am) have been made by conjugating anisomycin to the surface of selenium nanoparticles to improve anticancer efficacy. The prepared na…

We evaluated the effective transverse piezoelectric coefficients ( e 31,f ) of Pb(Zr,Ti)O 3 (PZT) thin films from both the direct and converse piezoelectric effects of unimorph cantilevers. (001) preferentially oriented polycrystalline PZT thin films and (001)/(100) epitaxial PZT thin films were deposited on (111)Pt/T…

Contact map selection is a crucial step in structure-based molecular dynamics modelling of proteins. The map can be determined in many different ways. We focus on the methods in which residues are represented as clusters of effective spheres. One contact map, denoted as overlap (OV), is based on the overlap of such sp…

BACKGROUND: Notwithstanding increasing knowledge of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) passing through biological barriers, their biodistribution to the central nervous system (CNS) and potential effects on blood-brain barrier (BBB) physiology remain poorly characterized. METHODS: Here, we report time-related r…

Abstract About 1.5% (v/v) thyme and clove essential oils were added to 1.5% (w/v) sorbitol‐amended whey isolate‐based film. These films were used for coating traditional semi‐hard kashar cheese (traditional Turkish cheese). Escherichia coli O157:H7, Listeria monocytogenes and Staphylococcus aureus microorganisms were…

We investigate the degradation path of MAPbI3 (MA=methylammonium) films over flat TiO2 substrates at room temperature by means of X-ray diffraction, spectroscopic ellipsometry, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The degradation dynamics is found to be similar in air…

A new general synthetic approach to sequenced macromolecules was developed and applied to the synthesis of polymers comprising lactic acid ( L ), glycolic acid ( G ), and ε-caprolactone ( C )-derived monomer units. The new method employs entropy-driven ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ED-ROMP) to prepare copoly…

As an efficient route to control pet overpopulation and develop neutered experimental animals, male sterilization via surgical techniques, chemical injections, and antifertility vaccines has brought particular attention recently. However, these traditional ways usually induce long-term adverse reactions, immune suppre…

Vacuum deposition techniques are used to prepare mixed iodide-bromide methylammonium lead perovskite diodes via an intermediate double layer of the pure iodide and bromide perovskites. The diodes lead to bright electroluminescence, whose emission spectra maxima shift from the infrared toward the visible with increasin…

Over the past 20 years a variety of technological advances in X-ray crystallography have shortened the time required to determine the structures of large macromolecules (i.e., proteins and nucleic acids) from several years to several weeks or days. However, one of the remaining challenges is the ability to produce dif…

We present the formation of a series of chiral metallacycles and metallacages by the use of a BINOL-derived dicarboxylate as a donor that is capable of affording a variety of coordination angles between its two Lewis basic sites. Two squares, two rhomboids, two tetragonal prisms, and one hexagonal prism were successfu…

We use a combination of molecular dynamics simulations and density functional theory calculations to investigate the energetic disorder in fullerene systems. We show that the energetic disorder evaluated from an ensemble average contains contributions of both static origin (time-independent, due to loose packing) and…

Recent implementations of QSAR modelling software provide the user with numerous models and a wealth of information. In this work, we provide some guidance on how one should interpret the results of QSAR modelling, compare and assess the resulting models, and select the best and most consistent ones. Two QSAR datasets…

By eliminating unnecessary degrees of freedom, coarse-grained (CG) models tremendously facilitate numerical calculations and theoretical analyses of complex phenomena. However, their success critically depends upon the representation of the system and the effective potential that governs the CG degrees of freedom. Thi…

The theory of superconductivity developed by Bardeen, Cooper and Schrieffer (BCS) explains the stabilization of electron pairs into a spin-singlet, even frequency, state by the formation of an energy gap within which the density of states is zero. At a superconductor interface with an inhomogeneous ferromagnet, a gapl…

Transition metal sulfides have a great potential for energy storage due to the pronouncedly higher capacity (owing to conversion to metal or even alloy) than traditional insertion electrode materials. However, the poor cycling stability still limits the development and application in lithium and sodium ion batteries.…
