Compressive arch action is one of the main resistance mechanisms against progressive collapse in reinforced concrete (RC) buildings. Hence, many studies have investigated the development of arching action in RC beams and frames but less attention has been paid to calculating the corresponding enhancement in structural…

The novel self-microemulsifying (SME) tablets were developed to enhance the oral bioavailability of a poor water-soluble drug felodipine (FDP). Firstly, FDP was dissolved in the optimized liquid self-microemusifying drug delivery systems (SMEDDS) containing Miglyol® 812, Cremophor® RH 40, Tween 80 and Transcutol® P, a…

We have studied the effect of individual shrink wrapping (ISW) on the postharvest performance of refrigerated fruit from two zucchini cultivars that differ in their sensitivity to cold storage: Sinatra (more sensitive) and Natura (more tolerant). The fruit was individually shrink wrapped before storing at 4°C for 0, 7…

Summary This article presents a new mechanical model for the non‐linear force–displacement response of unreinforced masonry (URM) walls developing a flexural rocking mode including their displacement capacity. The model is based on the plane‐section hypothesis and a constitutive law for the masonry with zero tensile s…

Leucine-responsive regulatory protein (Lrp) is a transcriptional regulator for the genes involved in transport, biosynthesis and catabolism of amino acids in Escherichia coli. In order to identify the whole set of genes under the direct control of Lrp, we performed Genomic SELEX screening and identified a total of 314…

A new drug-targeting system for CD13(+) tumors has been developed, based on ultrasound-sensitive nanobubbles (NBs) and cell-permeable peptides (CPPs). Here, the CPP-doxorubicin conjugate (CPP-DOX) was entrapped in the asparagine-glycine-arginine (NGR) peptide modified NB (CPP-DOX/NGR-NB) and the penetration of CPP-DOX…

Charge-state-resolved ion energy–time distributions of pulsed Cu arc plasma were obtained by using direct (time-dependent) acquisition of the ion detection signal from a commercial ion mass-per-charge and energy-per-charge analyzer. We find a shift of energies of Cu 2+ , Cu 3+ and Cu 4+ ions to lower values during the…

Glioma is the most common malignant brain tumors with poor prognosis. The molecular events involved in the development and progression of glioma remain unclear. In this study, the expression levels of miR-302c-3p were examined in glioma tissues by qRT-PCR. The in vitro and in vivo functional effects of miR-302c-3p wer…

Abstract In our previous paper (Analyst, 2014, 139, 5339) we introduced the concept of the back‐to‐back electrochemical design where the commonly overlooked back of screen‐printed electrodes are utilised to provide electroanalytical enhancements in screen‐printed electroanalytical sensors. In this configuration the ov…

Heavy metal ions such as Hg and Pb are hazardous due to very high toxicity, mobility, and ability to accumulate through the food chain or atmosphere in the environment system. Therefore, ultrasensitive determination of mercury and lead is important to provide an evaluation index of ions in aqueous environment. This pa…

Novel hierarchical carbon nanohorns (CNHs) carried iron fluoride nanocomposites have been constructed by direct growth of FeF3·0.33H2O nanoparticles on CNHs. In the FeF3·0.33H2O@CNHs nanocomposite, the mesopore CNHs play the role as conductive matrix and robust carrier to support the FeF3·0.33H2O nanoparticles. The in…

One key process in plasmon‐enhanced photocatalysis is the transfer of hot charge–carriers from metal nanostructures into photocatalytically active materials. This process is secondary to the initial step of light absorption by the metal nanostructures. Light absorption in these structures can be controlled by designin…

The field of plasmonics can be roughly categorized into two branches: surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) propagating in waveguides and localized surface plasmons (LSPs) supported by scattering particles. Investigations along these two directions usually employ different approaches, resulting in more or less a dogma tha…
