We present a mechanism for ultra-broadband transmission of acoustic waves through subwavelength hole arrays. Different fluids surrounding (or filling) the holes are considered, which allows tuning of the band of maximum transmission to different angles of incidence. For certain configurations, this band of total trans…

Resorcinol–formaldehyde carbon gels (RFCs) show several advantageous properties as a catalyst support over other carbons, as their pore volume and pore size can be readily tailored, for example, via CO 2 activation. In this study, RFCs were synthesized with various activation degrees (burn-off) as 0, 37, 58, and 88% a…

Abstract Injection moulding is a proven technology for high‐throughput production of nanostructures, but replication of raised structures is a considerable challenge, due to the complexities of cavity filling. We have developed a platform to systematically study the effects of nanostructures with aspect ratios up to 1…

The improvement in thermal shock resistance of refractory materials is among the crucial properties that interest researchers and industrials. The “flexibility” in terms of large strain‐to‐rupture is, up to now, an important parameter to develop such characteristic. This can be obtained by generating a network of micr…

Xaa-Pro dipeptidase (XPD; prolidase; EC 3.4.13.9) specifically hydrolyzes dipeptides with a prolyl residue at the carboxy-terminus. Xanthomonas spp. possess two different isoforms of XPD (48 and 43 kDa) which share ∼24% sequence identity. The XPD of 43 kDa in size (XPD43) from Xanthomonas spp. is unusual as it lacks t…

We utilize a custom-built shear cell mounted on a confocal microscope to directly visualize and quantify the microdynamic mechanisms that mediate the rheology of a nearly jammed colloidal suspension under constant-stress deformation, with and without attractive interparticle interactions. The application of external s…

We report on the injection of quantized pure spin current into quantum conductors. In particular, we propose an on-demand single-spin source generated by periodically varying the gate voltages of two quantum dots that are connected to a two-dimensional topological insulator via tunneling barriers. Due to the nature of…

The Apodi Plateau, located in the northeastern part of the state of Ceará in Brazil, has limestone as its parent material, with significant variation in the soils formed in this region, as well as the presence of iron nodules, having been identified. The iron oxides have been used as indicators for evaluating the weat…

We demonstrated the InGaN/GaN-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with SiO₂ nanoparticles embedded in nanopillar GaN template. With the SiO₂ nanoparticles placed between the GaN nanopillars, subsequent overgrowth of GaN layer started only on the exposed tips of the nanopillars and rapidly switched to the lateral growth…

Two advances in the synthesis of hairpin pyrrole-imidazole polyamides (PAs) are described. First, the application of a convergent synthetic strategy is shown, involving the Boc-based solid phase synthesis of a C-terminal fragment and the solution phase synthesis of the N-terminal fragment. Second a new hybrid resin is…

ABSTRACT We demonstrate simple, compact, and low cost passively Q‐switched erbium doped fiber lasers (EDFLs) using a single‐walled carbon nanotubes based saturable absorber (SA), which is prepared using polyethylene oxide as host polymer. The EDFL starts to generate a stable Q‐switching pulse at pump power of 30.8 mW…

The activities of nickel supported on MCM-41 catalysts, prepared by co-impregnation with polyols (ethylene glycol, glycerol, xylitol, sorbitol and glucose), were investigated by hydro- genation of naphthalene. Compared with the conventional wetness impregnation, addition of moderate polyols into the metal nitrate aque…
