Amorphous composite silicon thin films electrodeposited in tetrahydrofuran, containing up to 80 at% of Si and exhibiting an homogeneous dispersions of O, C and Cl in the amorphous Si matrix, have been successfully stabilized against oxidation using a post-annealing step in inert atmosphere. In order to understand the…
Abstract Suspensions of sedimenting slender fibres in a viscous fluid are known to be unstable to fluctuations of concentration. In this paper we develop a theory for the role of fibre flexibility in sedimenting suspensions in the asymptotic regime of weakly flexible bodies (large elasto-gravitation number). Unlike th…
Research in the new field of plasma medicine continues to demonstrate the efficacy of low temperature plasmas for numerous biomedical applications. Responses such as reduction in cell viability and cell death for cancer therapy, cell proliferation for wound healing, and bacterial inactivation have been observed as a r…
Abstract The molybdenum and vanadium nitrogenases are two homologous enzymes with distinct structural and catalytic features. Previously, it was demonstrated that the V nitrogenase was nearly 700 times more active than its Mo counterpart in reducing CO to hydrocarbons. Herein, a similar discrepancy between the two nit…
Abstract The thermal chemistry of methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (MeCpMn(CO)3) on silicon oxide surfaces was characterized by a combination of analytical techniques, including gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC?MS), temperature-programmed desorption (TPD), infrared absorption spectroscopy, and X-ra…
Epithelial tissues are a critical component of all tubular organs. Engineering artificial epithelium requires an understanding of the polarization of epithelia: both apicobasal and in a planar fashion. Air liquid interface (ALI) culture is typically used to generate apicobasal polarized airway epithelium in vitro; how…
A magnetically recoverable copper-based nanocatalyst was prepared from inexpensive starting materials. With a particle size between 20 to 30 nm, it was shown to catalyze the oxidation of benzylic alcohols. The catalyst exhibited a high turnover number (TON) and excellent selectivity. The catalyst was characterized by…
Although copper nanoparticles are used as model nanomaterial because of their small nucleation barrier, their oxidization sensitivity hampers production of fully metallic nanoparticles with controlled size and shape. Nevertheless, we demonstrate here synthesis of copper nanoparticles, via high pressure magnetron sputt…
The method of calculation of the elastic constants up to third order from the energy-strain relation under pressure for the hcp crystals is given and described in details. The method is applied to the hcp phase of Ruthenium. Elastic constants, lattice dynamics, and electronic structure are investigated in the pressure…
A new fluorescent probe for detecting lead ions (Pb2+) is reported in this work. Positively charged UCPs capped with ethylene imine polymer (PEI) and negatively charged AuNPs capped with 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid (MUA) were used as fluorescent donors and acceptors, respectively. The fluorescence quenching process was…
Efficient excitation of Fano resonances in plasmonic systems usually requires complex nano-structure geometries and some degree of symmetry breaking. However, a single-layered concentric core-shell particle presents inherent Fano profiles in the scattering spectra when sphere and cavity modes spectrally overlap. Weak…
BACKGROUND: CPX-351, a liposomal formulation of cytarabine and daunorubicin co-encapsulated at an optimized synergistic 5:1 molar ratio, has demonstrated improved clinical outcomes over conventional cytarabine/daunorubicin treatment in a randomized phase 2 trial in patients with AML as well as superior efficacy agains…
Flower-like ZnO hierarchical architectures consisting of different building blocks have been successfully synthesized by a simple microwave-assisted decomposition route. The scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy results indicated that the morphologies of ZnO hierarchical architectures could…
Sensitivity of surface plasmon resonance phase-interrogation biosensor is demonstrated to be enhanced by oblique deposited silver nanorods. Silver nanorods are thermally deposited on silver nanothin film by oblique angle deposition (OAD). The length of the nanorods can be tuned by controlling the deposition parameters…
Well-dispersed Pt–Cu nanoparticles with two average sizes were synthesized: small (≈1.6 nm) and large (≈4.8 nm), respectively.
Purpose: To evaluate the physicochemical properties of clotrimazole (CLT) solid dispersion with Pluronic F127 (PLU).Methods: Solid dispersions of the antifungal drug, clotrimazole, were prepared with Pluronic F127 using grinding (PM) and fusion (FUS) methods. Physicochemical characterization of the dispersions were pe…
The superconducting properties of $\mathrm{Ca}T{\mathrm{Si}}_{3}$ (where T = Pt and Ir) have been investigated using muon spectroscopy. Our muon-spin-relaxation results suggest that in both these superconductors time-reversal symmetry is preserved, while muon-spin-rotation data show that the temperature dependence of…
Parts produced by microforming are becoming ever smaller. Similarly, the foils required in micro-machines are becoming ever thinner. The asymmetric rolling technique is capable of producing foils that are thinner than those produced by the conventional rolling technique. The difference between asymmetric rolling and c…
Cu2ZnSnS4 nanoparticle with an average diameter of approximately 31 nm has been successfully synthesized by a time effective microwave fabrication method. The crystal structure, surface morphology, and microstructure of the Cu2ZnSnS4 nanoparticle were characterized. Moreover, the visible light photocatalytic ability o…
This paper analyses how the microstructure of an eutectoid pearlitic steel affects its conventional mechanical properties (obtained by means of a standard tension test) and the associated micromechanisms of fracture. Results show how the yield strength, the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and the ductility, increase a…
