Microsatellite markers were developed to examine the genetic diversity of field populations of the centric diatom Ditylum brightwellii . Polymerase chain reaction amplification of two dinucleotide microsatellite loci using DNA extracted from single cell isolates was sensitive enough to identify genetically distinct cl…
Hybrid materials have found widespread applications in recent years and are one example for the bottom-up approach to nanotechnology: materials and phases are generated by physical or chemical means from precursor compounds forming nanoscale or nanocomposite materials. This review describes basic principles and severa…
Dense CaBi 4 Ti 4 O 15 (CBT) ceramics with a unique texture were prepared by the reactive templated grain growth (RTGG) method using an extrusion technique. Plate-like Bi 4 Ti 3 O 12 (BIT) particles, a reactive template for CBT, were mixed with other oxide and carbonate powders and unidirectionally aligned by extrusio…
We have developed a new class of metal-loaded nanoparticles that have potential as contrast agents for medical imaging. These polymeric materials have a core−shell morphology where the interior is a functionalized polymer, that provides high affinity for a specific metal, and the shell consists of a porous hydrophobic…
An article providing background on fundamentals of partial discharge, especially as related to field PD testing of cable systems.
The three-dimensional coordination polymers [Mn(dca)2(H2O)] (1) and [M(dca)(tcm)], M =Co (2), Ni (3), Cu (4), dca =dicyanamide, N(CN)2-, tcm = tricyanomethanide, C(CN)3-, have isomorphous structures. In 1 half the dca ligands coordinate directly (through all three nitrogen atoms) to three Mn atoms (all metal atoms are…
In the manganite ${\mathrm{Nd}}_{0.5}{\mathrm{Ca}}_{0.5}{\mathrm{MnO}}_{3},$ charge ordering occurs at a much higher temperature than the antiferromagnetic order ${(T}_{\mathrm{CO}}=250 \mathrm{K},$ ${T}_{N}=160 \mathrm{K}).$ The magnetic behavior of the phase ${T}_{N}<T<{T}_{\mathrm{CO}}$ is puzzling: its magne…
Textured Sr 0.53 Ba 0.47 Nb 2 O 6 ceramics with a relative density of >95% were fabricated using templated grain growth (TGG). Acicular KSr 2 Nb 5 O 15 template particles synthesized via a molten salt process were aligned by tape casting in a mixture of solid‐state‐synthesized SrNb 2 O 6 and BaNb 2 O 6 powders. The re…
A new class of mesoporous (nickel/platinum)-yttria-zirconia materials, denoted meso -(Ni/Pt)YZ, which may have utility as electrode material in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), have been synthesized by aqueous co-assembly of glycometalates and metal complexes with a surfactant template. These materials form as solid so…
Dependent on the conditions, crystallisation of polymorphs from solvent may be under kinetic or thermodynamic control. In the latter case the nature of the solvent will be immaterial in respect of the polymorph produced. The conditions under which each of these factors may apply are analysed in detail. The transition…
Measurements of magnetoresistance and magnetization were carried out on ceramic samples of La0.5Pb0.5MnO3 and La0.5Pb0.5MnO3, containing 10 at. % Ag in a dispersed form. The results obtained for the resistivity at zero applied magnetic field exhibit a shallow minimum at the temperature T∼25–30 K which shifts towards l…
Mesoporous MCM-41 materials with a distinct N 2 -sorption hysteresis behavior have been prepared from pure silica and aluminosilicate−C 16 trimethylammonium (TMA)Br systems by a delayed neutralization procedure. On the basis of the analysis of transmission electron microscopy micrographs of these MCM-41 materials, we…
Dendrimers are large highly branched macromolecules synthesized from a polyfunctional core. They have shown a variety of biological properties, including, in some instances, antiviral activity. In this study, five dendrimers were evaluated for in vitro activity against herpes simplex virus (HSV) types 1 and 2 by cytop…
Silica-coated vesicles have been produced by the deposition of silica onto unilamellar vesicles from aqueous solution for the first time. The quaternary ammonium surface of the surfactant vesicles is receptive to silica and facilitates deposition of up to 5–10 nm of it. The “petrified” vesicles are stable to dehydrati…
Very long crystalline CdS nanowires (see Figure) are fabricated here via a polymer-controlled growth approach that involves distribution of Cd2+ ions in a polyacrylamide matrix followed by treatment with thiourea. It is shown that the polyacrylamide plays an important role in controlling the diameter and increasing th…
The incorporation of pozzolanic materials in the manufacturing of blended cement has a positive effect on the improvement of blended mortar and concretes performances. These active additions modify porous structure, impeding or delaying the access of aggressive solutions and, therefore materials more durable are possi…
