We study the influence of silicon dangling bonds on germanium thermal diffusion within silicon oxide and fused silica substrates heated to high temperatures. By using scanning electron microscopy and Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy, we determine that the lower mobility of Ge found within SiO2/Si films can be as…

Size dependence of magnetic properties of Sm 0.43 Ca 0.57 MnO 3 nanoparticles with average size of 15–60 nm has been investigated. Charge ordering, characteristic for the bulk form of this material, was found to be gradually suppressed with decreasing particle size and fully disappearing in 15 nm nanoparticles. Onsets…

Liposomes are commonly used to deliver drugs and contrast agents to their target site in a controlled manner. One of the greatest obstacles in the performance of such delivery vehicles is their stability in the presence of serum. Here, we demonstrate a method to stabilize a class of liposomes that load gadolinium, a m…

Acetate kinase (ACK) (EC no: 2.7.2.1) interconverts acetyl-phosphate and acetate to either catabolize or synthesize acetyl-CoA dependent on the metabolic requirement. Among all ACK entries available in UniProt, we found that around 45% are multiple ACKs in some organisms including more than 300 species but surprisingl…

A five‐layer stack of lead zirconate titanate ( PZT ) thin films with Pt electrodes was fabricated for potential applications in nanoactuator systems. The 1 μm thick PZT films were deposited by a sol–gel technique, the platinum electrodes by sputtering. The PZT films were crack‐free, in spite of the use of silicon as…

The first floristic inventory of benthic diatoms is provided for the Bahia Magdalena-Bahia Almejas lagoon system. Samplings were carried out during November of 1999. The oxydized samples were mounted permanently. Eighty six diatom taxa were identified, out of which 59 are new records for the Bahia Magdalena area, and…

We have done a study of graphene/hexagonal boron nitride ($h$-BN) thin films within the framework of density functional theory, and find that the interlayer interaction energy of a graphene/$h$-BN monolayer thin film is inversely proportional to the layer number. This analysis based on a method which simulates the int…

The triterpenes α- and β-amyrins display important pharmacological activities. As a result of their high hydrophobia, they present low water solubility and reflect poor oral bioavailability. Different techniques can be used for the improvement of amyrins solubility, one of them is the use of nanoemulsions. Therefore,…
