We present a canonical quantization of macroscopic electrodynamics. The results apply to inhomogeneous media with a broad class of linear magnetoelectric responses, which are consistent with the Kramers-Kronig and Onsager relations. Through its ability to accommodate strong dispersion and loss, our theory provides a r…

There are large number of proteins, the existence of which are known but not their crystal structure, because of difficulty in finding the exact condition for their crystallization. Heterogeneous nucleation on disordered porous substrates with small yet large distribution of pores is considered a panacea for this prob…

Treatment of the (AuC2R)n acetylides with phosphine ligand 1,4-bis(diphenylphosphino)butane (PbuP) and Ag(+) ions results in self-assembly of the heterobimetallic clusters of three structural types depending on the nature of the alkynyl group. The hexadecanuclear complex [Au12Ag4(C2R)12(PbuP)6](4+) (1) is formed for R…

BACKGROUND: Previous study showed that hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (nano-HAPs) inhibited glioma growth in vitro and in vivo; and in a drug combination, they could reduce adverse reactions. We investigated the possible enhancement of radiosensitivity induced by nano-HAPs. METHODS: In vitro radiosensitization of nano-H…

We introduce the concept of parity symmetry in restricted spatial domains---local parity---and explore its impact on the stationary transport properties of generic, one-dimensional aperiodic potentials of compact support. It is shown that, in each domain of local parity symmetry of the potential, there exists an invar…

The stress and loading rate on disks of SrAl2O4:Eu mixed epoxy resin were measured by a lifetime-based method. The concentration of the mechanoluminescence (ML) phosphor and the excitation power did not affect the measured lifetime. The lifetime was proportional to the stress and was inversely proportional to the load…

Abstract ZnO nanostructures with various morphologies including rod‐like, sheet‐like, needle‐like and flower‐like structures were successfully synthesized via a fast and facile microwave‐assisted hydrothermal process. Reaction temperature, reaction time and the addition of NaOH were adjusted to obtain ZnO with differe…

We consider anisotropic Allen–Cahn equations with interfacial energy induced by an anisotropic surface energy density γ. Assuming that γ is positive, positively homogeneous of degree 1, strictly convex in tangential directions to the unit sphere and sufficiently smooth, we show the stability of various time discretiza…

So what is the "big deal" about engineering of collagen materials? It is certainly not enough to produce the familiar line about it being "more physiological." This phrase explains very little of the substance and gets nowhere near to the base of the question. We need to be clear about why this is important enough to…

Aligned multiwalled carbon nanotube (CNT) arrays were prepared using chemical vapor deposition of C2H4 on Fe catalyst at 750 °C. CNT array height and alignment depends strongly on the duration of H2 pretreatment, with optimal height and alignment achieved using 10-15 min pretreatment. Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAX…

The effect of nanostructured supports on the activity of Rh catalysts was studied by comparing the catalytic performance of nano- and bulk-oxide supported Rh/ZnO, Rh/SiO2 and Rh/TiO2 systems in 1-hexene hydroformylation. The highest activity with 100% total conversion and 96% yield of aldehydes was obtained with the R…
