Medium-chain-length (mcl) poly(3-hydroxyalkanoates) (PHAs) are storage polymers that are produced from various substrates and accumulate in Pseudomonas strains belonging to rRNA homology group I. In experiments aimed at increasing PHA production in Pseudomonas strains, we generated an mcl PHA-overproducing mutant of P…

A systematic study of the structural, magnetic and electrical properties of the manganites Pr1-x Sr x MnO3(0≤ x ≤ 0.5) has been carried out. X-ray diffraction investigation shows a structural change with composition, from orthorhombic (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.2) to rhombohedral (0.25 ≤ x ≤ 0.5). The magnetic properties of Pr1-x Sr…

We have performed a theoretical study of the atomic and electronic structure of the four compounds Sr2TiO4, Sr3Ti2O7, Sr4Ti3O10 and SrTiO3, by a total energy semiempirical Hartree-Fock method. We show that the intercalation of SrO3 layers in the perovskite structure of SrTiO3 induces lattice distortions modifications…

The electro-optic and dielectric properties of organic–inorganic 2-amino-5-nitropyridium dihydrogen phosphate crystals were measured near room temperature at a wavelength of 632.8 nm and as a function of an electric-field frequency that varied from 1 kHz to 40 MHz. The frequency dispersion of the electro-optic coeffic…

We consider a general Fibonacci quasicrystal (FQC) in which both the masses and the elastic constants are aperiodically arranged. Making use of a suitable decimation scheme, inspired by real-space renormalization-group concepts, we obtain closed analytical expressions for the global transfer matrix and transmission co…

We report dc magnetization, M\"ossbauer spectroscopy, and x-ray-diffraction measurements on ${\mathrm{Fe}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{V}}_{x}$ alloys, quenched or heat treated, with single phase bcc structure in the whole concetration range. It is well known that the saturation magnetization of these alloys decreases…

Reaction of trialkylaluminum Al2R6 (R = Me, Et) with 2,2′-methylenebis(6-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol) (mbmpH2) gives the dimeric mono(alkyl) complex [Al(mbmp)R]2 with bridging oxygen atoms. Reaction of [Al(mbmp)R]2 with one equiv. of 2-propanol results in the formation of the dimeric isopropoxide [Al(mbmp)(μ-OiPr)]2. Si…

Aqueous solutions of the calcium and sodium salts of dipicolinic acid (DPA) were shown to have weak fluorescence when excited at wavelengths near 300 nm, but no fluorescence was observed from DPA alone. Upon UV irradiation at 254 nm the fluorescence of all three forms increases dramatically. The emission spectrum of c…

A Landau expansion of the elastic energy in the strains is used to study two-dimensional structures in tetragonal-orthorhombic ferroelastics with constraints. Local energy minima are found with respect to the components of the displacement and so the strains satisfy the compatibility relation; this interdependence of…
