A differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) method was developed capable of measuring the rate of in situ alloying during Al–V master alloy (MA) sintering of Ti6Al4V based on monitoring the characteristics of the β–α phase transformation during cooling from the sintering temperature. The beta transus temperature and tra…
Two different soft-chemical, self-assembly-based solution approaches are employed to grow zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods with controlled texture. The methods used involve seeding and growth on a substrate. Nanorods with various aspect ratios (1-5) and diameters (15-65 nm) are grown. Obtaining highly oriented rods is determ…
Pentachlorophenol (PCP) hydroxylase, the first enzyme in the pathway for degradation of PCP in Sphingobium chlorophenolicum, is an unusually slow flavin-dependent monooxygenase (k(cat) = 0.02 s⁻¹) that converts PCP to a highly reactive product, tetrachlorobenzoquinone (TCBQ). Using stopped-flow spectroscopy, we have s…
The acyclic diene metathesis (ADMET) polymerization of 6-hydroxy-1,10-undecadiene (M1) and 6-acetoxy-1,10-undecadiene (M2) by the action of two different catalysts, i.e., the second-generation Grubbs-Hoveyda system ([RuCl2(IMesH2)(CH-2-(2-PrO-C6H4)]) (1) and the dicationic ruthenium alkylidene [Ru(DMF)3(IMesH2)(CH-2-(…
A human cell surface displays many complex-structured receptors for receiving extracellular signals to regulate cellular functions. The use of precisely regulated signal-controls of the receptors could have possibilities beyond the current synthetic biology research that begins with the transfection of exogenous molec…
We have recently demonstrated that the inclusion of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) into accelerated stress tests (AST) can provide a wealth of information about the modes of degradation occurring within a fuel cell catalyst layer. In those reports we have used half-cell techniques to validate the interpr…
Two triphenyltin(IV) adducts of difunctional ligands, N-(n-pyridinyl) diphenylphosphinic amide (n = 2 and 4), have been synthesized and characterized by 1H, 31P, 119Sn NMR and IR spectroscopy. The spectroscopic properties of the complexes were compared with those of corresponding ligands. The crystal structures of the…
The use of FEM models to simulate the Bean critical state is used in two particular geometries: the disk and the sphere exposed to a uniform magnetic field. Two FEM approaches have been used, the Adaptive Resistivity Algorithm under the ANSYS framework, and the H -Formulation using the COMSOL software. In this work, t…
Nanoparticles a few nanometers in diameter contained in a colloidal solution can be captured by the surface of a microbubble produced by a well-focused beam of a continuous wave visible laser. The concentration of the nanoparticles on the surface of the microbubble is found to gradually increase during the course of i…
We propose a straightforward and effective approach for quantifying the band inversion induced by spin-orbit coupling in band insulators. In this approach we define a quantity as a function of wave vector in the Brillouin zone (BZ) measuring the mismatch, or ``spillage,'' between the occupied states of a system with a…
PURPOSE: Narrow-diameter implants have become popular, as bone augmentation procedures can frequently be avoided. In order to provide implants with sufficient strength, a titanium-zirconium (Ti-Zr) alloy has recently been introduced purportedly showing improved mechanical properties as compared to commercially pure ti…
We analyze symmetries and magnetic properties of Cooper pairs appearing as subdominant pairing correlations in inhomogeneous superconductors, on the basis of the quasiclassical Green-function theory. The frequency symmetry, parity, and the type of magnetic response of such subdominant correlations are opposite to thos…
The physical limitations on time-harmonic scattering processes are investigated on the basis of the optical theorem. Previously derived least upper bounds on the total scattering and absorption cross sections are obtained from it in a straightforward manner. In addition, it reveals a practical upper bound for the bist…
This paper presents a conceptually simple, and robust, yet highly effective, approach to both texture classification and material categorization. The proposed system is composed of three components: 1) local, highly discriminative, and robust features based on sorted random projections (RPs), built on the universal an…
Abstract The introduction of side chains at the 1‐ and 9‐positions of dipyrromethanes was explored by using the hetero‐Diels–Alder reaction of azoalkenes. New 5,5′‐diethyldipyrromethanes and 5‐phenyldipyrromethanes that were functionalized with open‐chain hydrazone moieties, including derivatives with tetrazolyl group…
BACKGROUND: We sought to determine the early and long-term results of in-situ bilateral internal mammary artery (BIMA) grafting in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). METHODS: Between 1992 and 2011, 16,364 patients underwent primary isolated CABG involving at least one in-situ IMA at our i…
We report the temperature dependence of the flexoelectric response in thin films of both ferroelectric and relaxor forms of vinylidene fluoride polymers. The ferroelectric samples were depoled to minimize piezoelectric response by heating them beyond their Curie temperature and then cooling in zero applied electric fi…
This study mixed ground granulated blast-furnace slag (S) and circulating fluidized bed combustion (CFBC) fly ash (CA) without any portland cement or alkaline activator to produce an eco-binder, abbreviated as SCA binder. The hydration process, microstructure, and compressive strength of hydrated SCA materials were in…
The soft x-ray diagnostic is suitable for monitoring plasma activity in the tokamak core, e.g., sawtooth instability. Moreover, spatially resolved measurements can provide information about plasma position and shape, which can supplement magnetic measurements. In this contribution, fast algorithms with the potential f…
The effect of a dc electric field on the response of a nematic liquid crystal under shear flow has been investigated by measuring the shear stress response to an ac electric field used as a probe. It was found that both the first- and second-order responses do not vanish at high frequencies, but have constant nonzero…
