This study explores the hypothesis that Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) can image the process of electrolysis by detecting pH fronts. The study has relevance to real time control of cell ablation with electrolysis. To investigate the hypothesis we compare the following MR imaging sequences: T1 weighted, T2 weighted a…

Bi-functional Zn-EDTA complexes that are non-toxic and stable can be conveniently synthesized using water as solvent. The complexes are efficient heterogeneous catalysts for the synthesis of cyclic carbonates from CO2 and epoxides without the need of a co-catalyst or solvent. Among the complexes, ZnBr2- EDTA-2Na is th…

Understanding the intrinsic conformational preferences of amino acids and the extent to which they are modulated by neighboring residues is a key issue for developing predictive models of protein folding and stability. Here we present the results of 441 independent explicit-solvent MD simulations of all possible two-r…

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common malignant primary brain tumor. Classified by the World Health Organization (WHO) as grade IV astrocytoma, GBMs are extremely aggressive, almost always recur, and despite our best efforts, remain incurable. This review describes the traditional treatment approaches that…

We present a simple approach for preparing mesoporous carbon membranes on macroporous fly-ash-based ceramic supports via sol-gel polymerization of resorcinol with formaldehyde. The support was dip-coated and dried at 45°C under ambient pressure without a special drying process. The mesoporous carbon membrane was obtai…

When II-VI semiconductors are fractured, initially the mechanoluminescence (ML) intensity increases with time, attains a maximum value Im at a time tm, at which the fracture is completed. After tm, the ML intensity decreases with time, Im increase linearly with the impact velocity v0 and IT initially increase linearly…

We study the thermodynamic Casimir force for films with various types of boundary conditions and the bulk universality class of the three-dimensional Ising model. To this end, we perform Monte Carlo simulations of the improved Blume-Capel model on the simple cubic lattice. In particular, we employ the exchange or geom…

Fe1-xMgxMoO4 compounds with x = 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1.0 were obtained after annealing under inert gas at T = 700 °C. All of the compounds exhibit a pressure-induced and/or temperature-induced phase transition between the two polymorphs adopted by AMoO4 compounds (A = Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni). For the FeMoO4 compound, f…

Abstract We report several facile, surfactant-free methods to prepare monodisperse polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) droplets in the size range 3?8 ?m in water. These methods, of which the pros and cons are discussed, are extensions of a procedure described before by our group which focused on smaller droplet sizes. The PDM…

Cross-polarization magic-angle spinning (CPMAS) experiments employing frequency-swept pulses are explored within the context of obtaining broadband signal enhancements for rare spin S = 1/2 nuclei at very high magnetic fields. These experiments employ adiabatic inversion pulses on the S-channel ((13)C) to cover a wide…

Numerical simulation based on finite element modelling is used to study the influence of residual stress and distortion on the behaviour of tee- and angle-stiffened plates under axial compression. Residual stress and distortion due to welding of the stiffener to the plate are calculated by three-dimensioanl thermo-ela…
