We consider a two-particle system in which a particle is held fixed, and the other one rotates around the axis perpendicular to the line joining the particles centers. The rotating particle leads to a displacement of its polarization charge on the surface. Our results show that the rotational motion of the particles g…
The partially disentangled poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) samples were prepared by freeze-extracting from dilute PVC/THF solutions. The conformation of these samples was investigated by infrared and Raman spectroscopy. The structural relaxation behaviors were studied by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). The results…
A L-phenylalanlylglycylglycine- (H-L-PheGlyGly-) terminated polyrotaxane in which many alpha-cyclodextrins (alpha-CDs) are threaded onto poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) was synthesized to evaluate the effect of alpha-CD threading on the degradation of the terminal H-L-PheGlyGly by a membrane-bound metalloexopeptidase (amin…
Temperature dependencies of the dc electrical resistivity, dc magnetization, and heat capacity of virgin ${\mathrm{Gd}}_{5}{(\mathrm{S}\mathrm{i}}_{1.95}{\mathrm{Ge}}_{2.05})$ samples and after they had been cycled through the first-order phase transition by varying temperature or magnetic field were studied. The virg…
A vibrational study of the polymer electrolyte compound poly(ethylene oxide) 6:LiAsF 6 is reported. A symmetry-based factor group correlation method is applied to interpret the observed bands. The Raman and infrared spectra of the compound are consistent with the reported crystal structure. The ν 1 mode, which appears…
The magnetic molecule Fe${}_{8}$ has a rich pattern of degeneracies in its magnetic spectrum as the static magnetic field applied to it is varied. The points of degeneracy, or diabolical points in the magnetic field space, are found exactly in the simplest model Hamiltonian for this molecule. They are shown to form a…
The contact angle between a free standing film of a smectic-A liquid crystal and its meniscus is different from zero. It increases independently of the meniscus size when the film thickness decreases. This angle provides a very precise measurement of the film tension and of the interactions between the two free surfac…
A series of calcined borosilicate molecular sieves are treated hydrothermally with aqueous acetic acid and subsequently characterized in detail. The acid treatments are shown to expel boron from the molecular sieves, and the defects created by the boron removal are subsequently healed with silicon dissolved from other…
A cyclen (=1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane) doubly functionalized with three carbamoylmethyl groups and one dansylaminoethyl (dansyl = 2-(5-(dimethylamino)-1-naphthalenesulfonyl) group (L(2) = 1-(2-(5-(dimethylamino)-1-naphthalenesulfonylamido)ethyl)-4,7,10-tris(carbamoylmethyl)-cyclen) was synthesized and characterize…

Electrochemical lithium doping into carbon electrodes consisting of multiwalled carbon nanotubes produced by catalytic decomposition of acetylene has been carried out in button cells. Direct observation of the sample by low- and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy reveals that the lithium species are not…
With a spatial correlation model, a simple method was established to evaluate the crystallinity and stress of cubic boron nitride (cBN) films from the variation of linewidth and peak shift of Raman spectra. An increase of crystallinity and a decrease of stress of the cBN films with growth time were demonstrated. As a…
Delivery of NO to specific targets is important in fundamental studies and therapeutic applications. Various methods have been reported for delivery of NO in vivo and in vitro; however, there are few examples of systems that reversibly bind NO. Reported herein is the development of a new polymer (P-1[Co(II)]) that rev…
Although shape-memory metal alloys have wide use in medicine and other areas, improved properties, particularly easy shaping, high shape stability, and adjustable transition temperature, are realizable only by polymer systems. In this paper, a polymer system of shape-memory polymer networks based on oligo(ɛ-caprolacto…
We measure the displacement response of a frictional multicontact interface between identical polymer glasses to a biased shear force oscillation. We evidence the existence, for maximum forces close below the nominal static threshold, of a jamming creep regime governed by an ageing-rejuvenation competition acting with…
Building upon traditional quantum chemistry calculations, we have implemented an {\em ab-initio} method to study the electrical transport in nanocontacts. We illustrate our technique calculating the conductance of C$_{60}$ molecules connected in various ways to Al electrodes characterized at the atomic level. Central…
Finite-size and surface effects in fine particle systems are investigated by Monte Carlo simulation of a model of a $γ$-Fe$_2$O$_3$ (maghemite) single particle. Periodic boundary conditions have been used to simulate the bulk properties and the results compared with those for a spherical shaped particle with free boun…

Nanoparticles of 1-phenyl-3-((dimethylamino)styryl)-5-((dimethylamino)phenyl)-2-pyrazoline (PDDP) ranging from tens to hundreds of nanometers were prepared by using the reprecipitation method. Their excitonic transitions responsible for absorption and emission, as compared with those of dilute solution, have been inve…
BACKGROUND: Based on the observation that ultrasmall superparamagnetic particles of iron oxides (USPIOs) are phagocytosed by cells of the mononuclear phagocytic system, the purpose of this study was to evaluate their use as a marker of atherosclerosis-associated inflammatory changes in the vessel wall before luminal n…
