The geometry of metal-ligand interactions in proteins is examined and compared with information for small-molecule complexes from the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD). The paper deals with the metals Ca, Mg, Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn and with metal-donor atom distances, coordination numbers and extent of distortion from ideal…
Castable refractories containing calcium aluminate cement (CAC) are used ubiquitously in a range of furnace lining applications in the iron and steel, cement, glass, ceramic, and petrochemical industries. This review outlines their development from conventional high cement materials, through low cement and ultra-low c…
Layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly of oppositely charged polyelectrolytes was used to coat fluorescein particles. These particles, with a size of 4−9 μm, were prepared by precipitation of fluorescein at pH 2. Polystyrensulfonate (PSS) and polyallylamine (PAH) were used to form a polyelectrolyte shell on the fluorescein cor…
Stable hollow polyelectrolyte capsules were produced by means of the layer-by-layer assembling of poly(allylamine), PAH, and poly(styrenesulfonate), PSS, on melamine formaldehyde microcores followed by the core decomposition at low pH. These capsules are nonpermeable for urease in water and become permeable in a water…
In this paper, we explore the optical contributions of the substrate to the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) spectrum of surface confined Ag nanoparticles produced by nanosphere lithography (NSL). We present optical extinction spectra of Ag nanoparticles fabricated on the following substrates: fused silica,…
A new infrared luminescence from bismuth-doped silica glass is discovered. Spectroscopic properties of this glass are different from those of previously reported Bi 2+ - or Bi 3+ -doped glasses or crystals. Its luminescence spectrum is wide (full-width at half maximum; about 200 nm), with the peak at 1140 nm with 500…
ATOMS is a user application providing crystallographic functionality useful to x-ray absorption spectroscopists. ATOMS is also a set of reusable, object-oriented software modules written in the Perl programming language providing crystallographic functionality and access to databases of absorption coefficients and ano…
Thermoelectric properties have been investigated for single crystals of ${\mathrm{Sr}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{La}}_{x}{\mathrm{TiO}}_{3}$ for $0<~x<~0.1.$ We have found a large power factor (defined as $\mathrm{PF}{=S}^{2}/\ensuremath{\rho},$ S and $\ensuremath{\rho}$ being the Seebeck coefficient and resist…
A model for phonon heat conduction in a semiconductor nanowire with dimensions comparable to the phonon mean free path is developed. It is based on the solution of Boltzmann’s equation, which takes into account (i) modification of the acoustic phonon dispersion due to spatial confinement, and (ii) change in the nonequ…
The femtosecond optical response of noble metal nanoparticles and its connection to the ultrafast electron dynamics are discussed in light of the results of high-sensitivity femtosecond pump−probe experiments. The physical origins of the nonlinear responses in the vicinity of the surface plasmon resonance and interban…
Production of cellulose has been thought to be restricted to a few bacterial species such as the model organism Acetobacter xylinus. We show by enzymatic analysis and mass spectrometry that, besides thin aggregative fimbriae, the second component of the extracellular matrix of the multicellular morphotype (rdar) of Sa…
Recently metal nanowires (nanorods) have aroused tremendous interest because of their novel properties and potential applications in wide fields Many two-dimensional nanowire arrays of semiconductors and metals with different diameter and length have been made by using template synthesis method.
Abstract A simple mechanism regulating polymer mobility is demonstrated to determine initial and final growth states of solid‐state microcellular foams. This mechanism, governed by the extent of plasticization of the polymer by the dissolved gases, is examined with a mass balance model and results from foam growth exp…
A mesoscopically ordered lamellar gel phase of a polymer-grafted, lipid-based complex fluid is used as a scaffolding to spatially organize inorganic nanoparticles. The complex fluid provides both a highly anisotropic environment and a segregated aqueous and organic domains in which inorganic nanoparticles can be selec…
Several new terthiophene-based, highly anisotropic chromophores were synthesized and dispersed in ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). The chromophores were axially oriented by drawing the polymer matrix and showed an extremely pronounced dichroic behavior. In a pseudo-affine deformation scheme the dyes d…
A series of AB/AB 2 etherimide copolymers with compositions ranging from 0 to 1 mole fraction AB monomer ( x AB ) were prepared and characterized. The weight-average molecular weight ( M w ) determined from SLLS and TriSEC experiments showed good agreement. No systematic variations were found in M w over the entire co…
Two macrocyclic porphyrin sandwich systems, 4 and 5, together with the linear compound 6 have been prepared and examined as saccharide receptors. The cyclic porphyrin-cryptand conjugates 4 and 5 bind saccharides efficiently in highly competitive media with a preference for trisaccharides probably due to a complementar…
A multinutrient soil extraction procedure in routine soil testing is attractive. Therefore, it has been suggested to convert conventional soil testing programs into a 0.01 M calcium chloride (CaCl2) multinutrient soil testing program using the relationship between test values of the 0.01 M CaCl2 extractant and those o…
The kinetics of solid-state polymerization (SSP) of poly(bisphenol A carbonate) was investigated with N 2 as the sweep gas. The N 2 flow rate and prepolymer particle size were chosen to eliminate the influence of both external and internal phenol diffusion, and to ensure that the kinetics was controlled by the rate of…
Fibrillar collagens have a long triple helix in which glycine is in every third position for more than 1000 amino acids. The three chains of these molecules are assembled with specificity into several different molecules that have tissue-specific distribution. Mutations that alter folding of either the carboxy-termina…
