Imidazolium salt type ionic liquids containing cyclic siloxane frameworks were successfully prepared by the hydrolytic condensation of 1-[3-(dimethoxymethylsilyl)propyl]-3-methylimidazolium chloride, which was synthesized by the reaction of 3-chloropropyldimethoxymethylsilane and 1-methylimidazole, using the superacid…
Accurate energetics of intermolecular interactions in condensed systems are challenging to predict using highly correlated quantum chemical methods due to their great computational expense. Semi-Coulomb systems such as ionic liquids, in which electrostatic, dispersion, and induction forces are equally important, repre…
Achieving high levels of n-type conductivity in AlN and high Al-content nitride alloys is a long standing problem; significant decreases in conductivity are observed as the Al content is increased, a phenomenon that has been attributed to donors such as oxygen or silicon forming DX centers. We address this problem thr…
A new bimetallic Fe(II) -Cu(II) complex was synthesized, characterized, and applied as a selective and sensitive sensor for cyanide detection in water. This complex is the first multifunctional device that can simultaneously detect cyanide ions in real water samples, amplify the colorimetric signal upon detection for…
Time-variant residual strength of bulk carriers under corrosion wastage is investigated by Monte Carlo simulation. A new formulation of the incremental–iterative approach is presented to account for instantaneous neutral axis rotation, in case of asymmetrical damage conditions. Relevant incidence on hull girder residu…
We have measured the L α , L β , , , L , and L η x-ray production cross sections of Au by 50–100 keV electron impact. From this experimental information we derived the L 1 , L 2 and L 3 subshell ionization cross sections with a novel analysis procedure that is based on an overdetermined system of equations and achieve…
The generalized stacking fault (GSF) is a conceptual procedure historically used to assess shear behavior of defect-free crystalline structures through molecular dynamics or density functional theory simulations. We apply the GSF technique to the spatially and chemically complex quasi-layered structure of calcium-sili…
A five channel step index plastic optical fiber proposal for a multiplexer/demultiplexer having insertion losses (IL) of 2.9-4 dB, pass bandwidths at -3 dB > 30 nm, crosstalk attenuation >30 dB and size of ~65 mm × 55 mm, is demonstrated. It is based on a reflective diffraction grating with blazed profile and an asphe…
Glycolysis of waste polyethylene terephthalate (PET) flakes obtained from grinding postconsumer bottles was carried out at 225–250°C and molar ratios of PET/ethylene glycol were taken as 1/1, 1/1.5, 1/5, and 1/10. Reaction product was extracted by hot water for three times and water‐soluble crystallizable fraction and…
Curcumin and curcumin derivative were loaded on biocompatible methyl methacrylate–hydroxyethyl methacrylate copolymeric nanospheres via in situ microemulsion polymerization. The effect of monomer composition and the emulsifier concentration on the entrapment efficiency, the particle size, and zeta potential of the dru…
Misfit dislocations in heteroepitaxial layers of GaP grown on Si(001) substrates are characterized through use of electron channeling contrast imaging (ECCI) in a scanning electron microscope (SEM). ECCI allows for imaging of defects and crystallographic features under specific diffraction conditions, similar to that…
Binding of the competitive inhibitor L-captopril to the dapE-encoded N-succinyl-L,L-diaminopimelic acid desuccinylase from Neisseria meningitidis (NmDapE) was examined by kinetic, spectroscopic, and crystallographic methods. L-Captopril, an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, was previously shown to be a po…
Osmotic dehydration (OD) improves the organoleptic characteristics of products; nevertheless, depending on the product, the incorporation of great amounts of solute can be undesirable to consumers. The application of hydrogel coatings would overcome this, acting as a barrier to solute entering the product. An alginate…
Pyrazolone derivatives have previously been found to be inhibitors of Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1)-dependent protein aggregation, which extended survival of an amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) mouse model. On the basis of ADME analysis, we describe herein a new series of tertiary amine-containing pyrazolones…
Temperature- and stiffness-dependent edge forces offer new mechanisms of designing nanodevices driven by temperature and stiffness gradients. Here, we investigate the edge forces in a graphene nanolayer on a spring supported graphene substrate based on molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The dependences of the edge f…
o-Carborane (C2 B10 H12 ) was adapted to perform as the core of globular macromolecules, dendrons or dendrimers. To meet this objective, precisely defined substitution patterns of terminal olefin groups on the carborane framework were subjected to Heck cross-coupling reactions or hydroboration leading to hydroxyl term…
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: Novel approaches allowing efficient, readily translatable image-guided drug delivery (IGDD) against solid tumours is needed. The objectives of this study were to: 1) develop echogenic low temperature sensitive liposomes (E-LTSLs) loaded with an ultrasound (US) contrast agent (perfluoropentane, PF…
Monte Carlo simulations are used to calculate the relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of 300 MeV u(-1) carbon-ion beams at different depths in a cylindrical water phantom of 10 cm radius and 30 cm long. RBE values for the induction of DNA double strand breaks (DSB), a biological endpoint closely related to cell in…
The atomic structure of carbon materials prepared from natural tannin by two different techniques, high-temperature pyrolysis and low-temperature hydrothermal carbonization, was studied by wide-angle X-ray scattering. The obtained diffraction data were converted to the real space representation in the form of pair dis…
Fluorescent tracking gene delivery could provide us with a better understanding of the critical steps in the transfection process. However, for in vivo tracking applications, a small diameter (<10 nm) is one of the rigorous requirements for tracking vectors. Herein, we have demonstrated a new paradigm for two-photon t…
