Investigations of the structures and electronic properties of neat single crystals of the organic metals $\ensuremath{\Theta}\text{\ensuremath{-}}{(\mathrm{BEDT}\text{\ensuremath{-}}\mathrm{TTF})}_{2}{\mathrm{I}}_{3}$ and ${\ensuremath{\Theta}}_{\mathrm{T}}\text{\ensuremath{-}}{(\mathrm{BEDT}\text{\ensuremath{-}}\math…
AHL1 (AT-hook Motif and Nucleus Localized protein 1) is a protein localizing at the nuclear matrix and originally identified in Arabidopsis thaliana by using a random GFP-cDNA fusion method.1 A. thaliana AHL1 (AtAHL1) consists of an AT-hook motif and PPC domain (Plants and Prokaryotes Conserved domain). It was reveale…
Lecithin was, for the first time, blended with PLLA to prepare scaffold material for tissue engineering applications in the present study. Solution blending was used to incorporate Lecithin (containing 0-10 wt %) with PLLA to enhance the blend films biocompatibility, hydrophilicity and toughness while maintaining mech…
Ferroelectric epitaxial superlattices combining PbZr0.4Ti0.6O3 and PbZr0.6Ti0.4O3 ultrathin films were grown by pulsed laser deposition onto vicinal SrTiO3 (001) substrates. The superlattices were subjected to structural characterization by means of (high-resolution) transmission electron microscopy and x-ray diffract…
This study analyzes the adhesion behavior of the gram positive bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), and the gram negative bacteria, Escherichia coli (E. coli), on polypyrrole (PPY) surfaces in the presence of poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylate (PEGMA) chains and plasma proteins (bovine serum albumin and bovine…
High-quality Er:ZnO films were grown by the pulsed-laser deposition technique at high temperature followed by in situ annealing. The films demonstrate remarkable crystalline quality and array of self-assembled grains. Although the films show very low electrical resistivity (∼6.41×10−4Ωcm) at room temperature, a semico…
Anomalous Hall effect (AHE) of a ferromagnetic semiconductor anatase Ti1−xCoxO2−δ thin film is studied from 10to300K. Magnetic field dependence of anomalous Hall resistance is coincident with that of magnetization, while the anomalous Hall resistance decreases at low temperature in spite of nearly temperature-independ…
Pseudomonas putida KT2442 could accumulate medium-chain-length poly(hydroxyalkanoate)s (PHA) consisting of 3-hydroxyhexanoate, 3-hydroxyoctanoate, 3-hydroxydecanoate, and 3-hydroxydodecanoate from a wide range of carbon sources. In this study, the PHA synthase pha operon (phaC1-phaZ-phaC2) was knocked out and the vgb…
Hyaluronic acid (HA) plays a vital role in many tissues, influencing water content and mechanical function, and has been shown to have positive biological effects on cell behavior in vitro. To begin to determine whether these benefits can be accessed if HA is incorporated into collagen-based scaffolds for tissue engin…
Stainless steel and titanium alloys are the most common metallic orthopedic materials. Recently, nickel-titanium (NiTi) shape memory alloys have attracted much attention due to their shape memory effect and super-elasticity. However, this alloy consists of equal amounts of nickel and titanium, and nickel is a well kno…
Long carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have many important applications. However, long CNTs may self-fold and therefore compromise their applications. The authors have determined the critical length for self-folding as 4πEI∕γ, where EI and γ are the CNT bending stiffness and binding energy, respectively. This simple expression…
The formation of inorganic structures in nature is commonly controlled by biogenic macromolecules. The understanding of mineralization phenomena and the nucleation and growth mechanisms involved is still a challenge in science but also of great industrial interest. This article focuses on the formation and mineralizat…
Herein the authors propose a compositional thermoelectric phase diagram, which includes the density of states effective mass (md*) carrier relaxation time (τ), and thermoelectric power factor (S2σ, where S and σ are Seebeck coefficient and electrical conductivity) for high-quality epitaxial films composed of 20%-Nb-do…
Ferroelectric domain structures of epitaxial BiFeO3 thin films on miscut (001) SrTiO3 substrates have been studied by transmission electron microscopy. BiFeO3 on 0.8° miscut substrates are composed of both 109° and 71° domains; in contrast, only 71° stripe domains are observed in BiFeO3 on 4° miscut (001) SrTiO3 subst…
Epitaxial thin films of Bi2NiMnO6 were synthesized on SrTiO3 substrates by pulsed laser deposition. The resulting film had the rock-salt-type arrangement of Ni2+ and Mn4+ ions in a double-perovskite unit cell. The films clearly showed multiferroic properties, both ferromagnetic behavior with a Curie temperature of abo…
A hydrogel was prepared from pullulan and evaluated as a novel biomaterial for vascular engineering. Using a crosslinking process with sodium trimetaphosphate in aqueous solution, homogeneous, transparent, and easy-to-handle pullulan gels were obtained with water-content higher than 90%. A circular punch was used to c…
Polyimide precursors were successfully polymerized from trans-1,4-cyclohexanediamine (CHDA) with pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA) and 1,2,3,4-cyclobutanetetracarboxylic dianhydride (CBDA) under very limited conditions: at controlled extents of silylation for CHDA in a mixed solvent containing hexamethylphosphoramide (H…
Rare-earth doped yttria upconversion nanophosphors were synthesized using a single-step gas-phase flame synthesis method. The phosphors were characterized by x-ray diffractometry, transmission electron microscopy, and fluorescence spectroscopy. The dependence of multiphoton emissions on excitation power was examined.…
The local environment of manganese atoms in $\mathrm{La}\mathrm{Mn}{\mathrm{O}}_{3}$ under pressure up to $15.3\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{GPa}$ has been studied by x-ray absorption spectroscopy. For pressures below $8\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{GPa}$, no change is detected within the $\mathrm{Mn}{\mathr…
The current-voltage characteristics of non-punch-through-type diamond Schottky barrier diodes (SBDs) are analyzed by using thermionic and thermionic-field emission (TFE) models. Diamond SBD with defects such as nonepitaxial crystallites (NCs) shows shunt path conductance both under forward and reverse bias conditions.…
