The synthesis of three generations of self-assembling monodendrons based on an internal AB 3 3,4,5-trisubstituted benzyl ether repeat unit containing an AB 2 3,4-bis[ p -( n -dodecan-1-yloxy)benzyloxy]benzyl ether monodendron [( 4 - 3,4 )12G1-X] attached on the periphery and the structural analysis of the correspondin…
Highly efficient electroluminescence (EL) is obtained at low operating voltage (<5 V) from n+-type silicon-electrochemically oxidized thin porous silicon–indium–tin–oxide junctions. Continuous wave external quantum efficiency greater than 1% and power efficiency of 0.37% have been achieved. Considerable reducti…
Using theorems of Fourier factorization, a recent paper [J. Opt. Soc. Am. A 13, 1870 (1996)] has shown that the truncated Fourier series of products of discontinuous functions that were used in the differential theory of gratings during the past 30 years are not converging everywhere in TM polarization. They turn out…
Flagella from diverse gram-negative bacteria induce tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) synthesis by human monocytes (F. Ciacci-Woolwine, P. F. McDermott, and S. B. Mizel, Infect. Immun. 67:5176-5185, 1999). In this study, we establish that purified flagellin (FliC or FljB), the ma…
We have investigated the formation of 2-D and 3-D superlattices of Au nanoclusters synthesized in nonionic inverse micelles, and capped with alkanethiol ligands, with alkane chains ranging from C 6 to C 18 . The thiols are found to play a significant role in the ripening of these nanoclusters, and in the formation of…
Abstract Single-crystalline photochromism of 1,2-bis(2,5-dimethyl-3-thienyl)perfluorocyclopentene was studied by X-ray crystallography. The crystal was irradiated with linearly polarized monochromatic 360 nm light and analyzed with an X-ray diffractometer. The X-Ray crystallographic analysis showed that the conversion…
Melts of ABA triblock copolymers with two different sized end blocks are examined using self-consistent field theory. At small asymmetries, the A block bidispersity reduces the stretching energy of the A domains. This effect causes a slight increase in the domain spacing and shifts the order–order transitions (OOTs) t…
An overview is given of the use of silanes for corrosion control of metals and bonding of silane treated metals to paint systems and rubber compounds. Examples are given of corrosion protection of cold rolled steel, galvanised steel, aluminium, and magnesium, both painted and unpainted. Emphasis in this work has been…
We use optical techniques to study the aging behavior of glassy colloidal suspensions of Laponite, a synthetic Hectorite clay. Multi-speckle diffusing wave spectroscopy measurements of tracer particle motion in Laponite suspensions show that the slow collective relaxation time τ of the glassy medium scales linearly wi…
An introduction to semiconductor materials an introduction to X-ray scattering equipment for measuring diffraction patterns a practical guide to the evaluation of structural parameters.
Gold nanowires have been produced by the self-assembly of gold nanoparticles onto multi-walled carbon nanotubes. The nanotubes were mixed with a suspension of gold nanoparticles, resulting in a decrease in color intensity of the suspension, and indicating binding between the nanotubes and the gold (see Figure). Subseq…
Commercially available cordierite and mullite powders were used to obtain cordierite and cordierite-30wt% mullite materials by attrition milling, uniaxial pressing and sintering. Cordierite powders were the coarse (D50 = 1.82 mum), medium (D50 = 0.9 mum) and fine (D50 = 0.45 mum) single granulometric fractions and bin…
Previous studies have documented the presence of increased red blood cell aggregability in patients with ischemic heart and brain diseases. We adapted a simple slide technique and image analysis to reveal the state of erythrocyte adhesiveness/aggregation (EAA) in the peripheral blood of 206 such patients and in 174 co…
The pop-in phenomenon, quite common in fracture mechanics tests of welded joints, corresponds to a brittle crack initiation grown from a local brittle zone (LBZ) that is arrested in reaching the higher toughness material that surrounds this LBZ. A methodology to obtain a high percentage of pop-in occurrence in laborat…
Microstructure development and phase formation processes during sintering of silicon carbide based materials with AlN-Y2O3, AlN-Yb2O3, and AlN-La2O3 sintering additives were investigated. Densification of the materials occurred by liquid-phase sintering mechanism. Proportion of alpha- and beta-SiC powders in the initi…
Organo-clays were prepared by exchange cations of the montmorillonite with tetramethylammonium (TMA)- and hexadecylpyridinium (HDP)-chloride. Two different montmorillonite types were studied. Two amounts of each organic substances (1 and 4 cation exchange capacity times of montmorillonite) were contacted with each mon…
The microstructural evolution of the CuZnAl shape memory alloys was studied by indirect techniques relating to the atomic migration rate of grain boundaries. Addition elements were used in a Cu-15,5Zn-8,0Al alloy to provide a comparison with the same alloy without microelement additions. The alloys were melted in an i…
The optimization of the energy generated by a MagnetoHydroDynamic (MHD) channel using a superconducting magnet demands the optimization of the magnetic field of the system and of the critical points on the magnet winding. This work must include the development of a high performance superconductor wire suitable for thi…
