Porous solids have an important role in addressing some of the major energy-related problems facing society. Here we describe a porous solid, α-MnO2, with a hierarchical tetramodal pore size distribution spanning the micro-, meso- and macro pore range, centred at 0.48, 4.0, 18 and 70 nm. The hierarchical tetramodal st…
SUMMARY: Protein secondary structure and solvent accessibility predictions are a fundamental intermediate step towards protein structure and function prediction. We present new systems for the ab initio prediction of protein secondary structure and solvent accessibility, Porter 4.0 and PaleAle 4.0. Porter 4.0 predicts…
We report a combined experimental and theoretical study of the spin $S=\frac{1}{2}$ nanomagnet Cu${}_{5}$(OH)${}_{2}$(NIPA)${}_{4}\ifmmode\cdot\else\textperiodcentered\fi{}$10H${}_{2}$O (Cu${}_{5}$-NIPA). Using thermodynamic, electron spin resonance, and ${}^{1}$H nuclear magnetic resonance measurements on one hand, a…
Control over the surface functionality and microporosity in conjugated microporous polymers (CMPs) has been achieved by the post-synthetic modification of amines into amides of with different alkyl chains, one of which was chiral. The surface areas, pore volumes, carbon dioxide uptakes and isosteric heat of adsorption…
PLA nanocomposites at various Halloysite (HNT) loadings are produced by melt-mixing and then shaped as films. HNT is additionally surface-treated by silanization reaction with 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate (TMSPM). The morphology, thermal and transport properties to water vapor (sorption, diffusion, permeabil…
A homogeneous thin polymer film with a stepped height profile levels due to the presence of Laplace pressure gradients. Here we report on studies of polymeric samples with precisely controlled, spatially inhomogeneous molecular weight distributions. The viscosity of a polymer melt strongly depends on the chain length…
We report on the quantitative determination of the strain map in a strained Silicon-On-Insulator (sSOI) line with a 200x70 nm^2 cross-section. In order to study a single line as a function of time, we used an X-ray nanobeam with relaxed coherence properties as a compromise between beam size, coherence and intensity. W…
We investigate the magnetic structure of Mn3-xFexSn2 using neutron powder diffraction experiments and electronic structure calculations. These alloys crystallize in the orthorhombic Ni3Sn2 type of structure (Pnma) and comprise two inequivalent sites for the transition metal atoms (4c and 8d) and two Sn sites (4c and 4…
The surface structure of the prototypical topological insulator Bi2Se3 is determined by low-energy electron diffraction and surface X-ray diffraction at room temperature. Both approaches show that the crystal is terminated by an intact quintuple layer. Specifically, an alternative termination by a bismuth bilayer is r…
An unusual orbital state was recently proposed to explain the magnetic and transport properties of Ba$_3$CoRu$_2$O$_9$ [Phys. Rev. B. {\bf 85}, 041201 (2012)]. We show that this state contradicts to the first Hund's rule and does not realize in the system under consideration because of a too small crystal-field splitt…
We present prominent photoresponse of bio-inspired graphene-based phototransistors sensitized with chlorophyll molecules. The hybrid graphene-chlorophyll phototransistors exhibit a high gain of 10^6 electrons per photon and a high responsivity of 10^6 A/W, which can be attributed to the integration of high-mobility gr…
The structural instabilities of ATcO$_3$(A= Ca, Sr, Ba) are investigated by first-principles calculations. In addiction to the large octahedral rotation instability, a weak ferroelectric tendency is identified in CaTcO$_3$. We show that the ferroelectricity in CaTcO$_3$ can be recovered by interface engineering based…
In this report, chitosan (CS) encapsulated zinc oxide (ZnO) hybrid composite was prepared by chemical precipitation method. The CS-ZnO composite was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), transmission electron microscopy, and zeta potential. The c…
When protein crystals are submicrometre-sized, X-ray radiation damage precludes conventional diffraction data collection. For crystals that are of the order of 100 nm in size, at best only single-shot diffraction patterns can be collected and rotation data collection has not been possible, irrespective of the diffract…
In macromolecular X-ray crystallography, typical data sets have substantial multiplicity. This can be used to calculate the consistency of repeated measurements and thereby assess data quality. Recently, the properties of a correlation coefficient, CC1/2, that can be used for this purpose were characterized and it was…
Abstract A smart hyperthermia nanofiber is described with simultaneous heat generation and drug release in response to ‘on‐off’ switching of alternating magnetic field (AMF) for induction of skin cancer apoptosis. The nanofiber is composed of a chemically‐crosslinkable temperature‐responsive polymer with an anticancer…
Nanotechnology has progressed by leaps and bounds since it became the focus of intense applied research activity in the late 20th century. In particular, thin films with engineered structures at nanometer length scales have figured prominently in this nanotechnological revolution. Their unique and sometimes exotic and…
Random vibration is being specified for acceptance tests, screening tests and qualification tests by manufacturers of electronic equipment meant for military applications, because it has been shown that random vibration more closely represents the true environment in which the electronic equipment must operate. In thi…
Titanium alloys, mainly because of their poor thermal conductivity, need to be cut at relatively low cutting speeds, with obvious negative consequences on the profitability of machining. An important amount of research activities has been done in order to increase productivity in titanium machining operations: high pe…
The potentials of activated carbon nanoparticles (ACNP) as anticancer drug carriers were studied. ACNP were prepared with a top-down method.
