This review article summarizes briefly some important achievements of our recent reserach on anatase and/or rutile TiO2 thin films, fabricated by helicon RF magnetron sputtering, with good crystal quality and high density, and gives the-state-of-the-art of the knowledge on systematic interrelationship for fabrication…
The structural and electrical properties of infinite-layer CaCuO2 (IL CaCuO2) under high pressure at room temperature were studied using a diamond anvil cell by in situ high pressure energy-dispersive X-ray diffraction with synchrotron radiation and by simultaneous resistance and electrical capacitance measurements. T…
Using a π-orbital tight-binding model, we investigate the transport properties of a coiled carbon nanotube (also called carbon nanotube spring), which we construct by connecting carbon nanotubes periodically in three-dimensional (3D) space. The conductance is quantized due to the translational symmetry in the coiled d…
Much attention is being directed toward understanding and co-opting the mechanisms by which diatoms control patterning of silica for nanotechnology applications. Given the enormous diversity of cell-wall patterns among diatom taxa, a complete understanding of these mechanisms will require comparative analysis of nanop…

A marked increase of relaxivity has been observed upon rigidifying the internal frame of Gd-containing PAMAM dendrimers: the effect has been attained by either protonation of the dendrimer or by forming supramolecular adducts with cationic polyaminoacids.
We have applied the line patterning method, which involves printing of patterns on a plastic or paper substrate using a commercial printer followed by coating of the non-printed areas by a conductive polymer, or metal conductor, to build laterally configured polymer and metallic interdigitated electrodes (IDEs) for el…
Quantitative analysis of Raman spectra of vitreous or molten silicate is always one of the key subjects in some fields, e.g. materials science, geological physi cs, etc. But there are many difficulties with this analysis, one of which is the determination of Raman scattering coefficient. Not long ago, we developed a n…
Photoinduced anisotropy of a photochromic pyrrylfulgide/PMMA film was investigated by using two linearly polarized beams. Excitation by linearly polarized light induces into the film an optical axis that has the same polarization as the excitation beam. This causes a change of the transmittance and of the polarization…
This paper presents the application of a hybrid neuro-fuzzy system for the prediction of cotton yarn strength from HVI fibre properties. The proposed system possesses the advantages of both artificial neural networks and fuzzy logic, and is thus more intelligent. HVI fibre test results are used to train the neuro-fuzz…
A seven-step design process proposed by Watkins (1995) was used as a framework to guide the development of a one-piece female-specific sailing garment. An objective analysis of user needs uncovered through personal interviews and participant observation led to the development of design criteria based on the user need…
The influence of a left-handed medium (LHM) on the performances of a circular patch antenna is quantified numerically. For this, a homogenization procedure of the LHM is carried out in order to design the patch antenna at a suitable frequency where the losses of the LHM are low. From the first results obtained, it is…
Linter cellulose was oxidized with sodium hypochlorite with catalytic amounts of sodium bromide and 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxy radical (TEMPO) under various conditions. After this TEMPO-mediated oxidation, fibrous water-insoluble fractions were collected, and characterized in terms of carboxyl and aldehyde co…
Magnesioferrite spinel, MgFe 2 O 4 , was synthesized at 900 °C from equimolar amounts of reagentgrade oxides, MgO and Fe 2 O 3 , and quenched in air. The structural behavior of magnesioferrite was determined from in situ synchrotron X-ray powder-diffraction data [λ = 0.92225(4) Å] at room pressure and temperatures fro…
PURPOSE: To investigate the difference in enhancement effects and relaxivities of the gadolinium chelate at 1.5 and 3 Tesla (T) and to elucidate the contribution of the high magnetic field to contrast enhancement in spin-echo (SE) and gradient-echo (GRE) images. METHODS: Phantoms containing water with or without gadop…
Photoexcitation of a zinc phthalocyanine-perylenediimide (ZnPc-PDI) dyad affords the triplet excited state without the fluorescence emission, whereas addition of Mg2+ to the photoexcited ZnPc-PDI results in formation of a long-lived charge-separated state (ZnPc.+-PDI.-/Mg2+) in which PDI.- forms a complex with Mg2+.
Sisal fibre reinforced composites, one class of a broad range of eco-composite materials, were studied in connection with the effects of fibre surface treatment on their fracture-mechanical properties. Previous investigations on sisal fibre and its composites have been fully reviewed [1], which provided an impetus for…
Nickel oxide/carbon nanotube film nanocomposite electrodes for electrochemical capacitors were prepared by electrochemically precipitating nickel hydroxide onto a CNT film substrate and heating it in air at . For comparison, nickel oxide thin film and nickel oxide/carbon paper ( paper) electrodes were also prepared vi…
The broadband emission in the 1.2~1.6mum region from Li2O-Al2O3-ZnO-SiO2 ( LAZS ) glass codoped with 0.01mol.%Cr2O3 and 1.0mol.%Bi2O3 when pumped by the 808nm laser at room temperature is not initiated from Cr4+ ions, but from bismuth, which is remarkably different from the results reported by Batchelor et al. The bro…
Samples of pegmatite quartz from several localities in Norway and Namibia were investigated by cathodoluminescence (CL) microscopy and spectroscopy, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) measurements, and trace-element analysis (ICP-MS) to obtain information about their structure and luminescence characteristics. The…
