Watch that leak! Amorphous titania overlayers together with an intermixing of nickel catalyst can facilitate hole transport and give stability to traditional semiconductors for use as photoanodes for solar water oxidation.
NAD(+) is an essential molecule for life, present in each living cell. It can function as an electron carrier or cofactor in redox biochemistry and energetics, and serves as substrate to generate the secondary messenger cyclic ADP ribose and nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate. Although de novo NAD(+) biosyn…
Abstract The spin-Hamiltonian parameters (g factors g||, g⊥, and zero-field splittings b0 2 , b0 4 , b4 4 , b0 6 , b4 6 ) of the 4f7 Gd3+ ion in the tetragonal phase of a BaTiO3 crystal are calculated through the diagonalization (of energy matrix) method based on the one-electron crystal field mechanism. In the calcul…
RsmI and RsmH are AdoMet-dependent methyltransferases that are responsible for the 2'-O-methylation and N(4)-methylation of C1402 of Escherichia coli 16S rRNA, respectively. Modification of this site has been found to play a role in fine-tuning the shape and function of the P-site to increase the decoding fidelity. It…
Magnetization oscillations excited by microwave voltages in ferromagnetic nanostructures having electric-field-dependent interfacial anisotropy are described theoretically. By calculating frequency dependencies of complex susceptibilities we show that this dynamic magnetoelectric effect acquires anomalous characterist…
Abstract A novel ruthenium sensitizer with a terpyridine ligand having a hexylthiophene unit at the 4‐position (TUS‐38) has been synthesized to investigate the effects of the substituent position on the photo‐ and electrochemical properties and on solar cell performance. The dye‐sensitized solar cell (DSC) with TUS‐38…
PURPOSE: To improve coronary magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) by combining a two-dimensional (2D) spatially selective radiofrequency (RF) pulse with a T2 -preparation module ("2D-T2 -Prep"). METHODS: An adiabatic T2 -Prep was modified so that the first and last pulses were of differing spatial selectivity. The fir…
The origin of deflections of semiconductor nanowires (NWs) induced by an electron beam in scanning electron microscopy has been subject to different interpretations. Similarly, the subsequent clumping together of NWs into bundles is frequently observed, but no interpretation has yet been advanced. Here we present resu…
Compton radiography is an important diagnostic for Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF), as it provides a means to measure the density and asymmetries of the DT fuel in an ICF capsule near the time of peak compression. The AXIS instrument (ARC (Advanced Radiography Capability) X-ray Imaging System) is a gated detector in…
The isomerization conversion of long chain paraffins for high quality lube oil production plays an important role in the petrochemical industry. The conventional isomerization catalyst, SAPO-11 molecular sieve, exhibits disadvantages for large molecule transfer and multi-branched isomer conversion. To overcome the dif…
A potential method has been developed for evaluating simultaneously both the average specific resistance and average porosity of the filter cake formed in unstirred dead‐end ultrafiltration of nanocolloids such as bovine serum albumin solution and silica sol. The method consists of variable pressure filtration followe…
The role of protein motions in enzymatic catalysis is the subject of a hot scientific debate. We here propose the use of an explicit solvent coordinate to analyze the impact of environmental motions during the reaction process. The example analyzed here is the reaction catalyzed by catechol O-methyltransferase, a meth…
We present a multi-scale model to study the attachment of spherical particles with a rigid core, coated with binding ligands and suspended in the surrounding, quiescent fluid medium. This class of fluid-immersed adhesion is widespread in many natural and engineering settings, particularly in microbial surface adhesion…
The effect of metal electrodes on surface acoustic wave (SAW) properties in bulk semi-insulating Z-cut GaN crystal was measured for the first time. A SAW synchronous two-port resonator was used for these measurements. Such SAW parameters as velocity, electromechanical coupling coefficient, and reflection coefficient o…
Biomacromolecules play an important role in the treatment of many diseases, but their topical application has been limited by their poor cell membrane permeability. Cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) have been investigated over the past few decades as a potential strategy to overcome this challenge. CPPs can effectively…
Boron nitride ( BN )‐based ceramics are often used as containment refractory in thin‐strip steel production. The interaction of this material ( BN ‐ Z r O 2 ‐ S i C :‐ MYCROSINT ® SO 43) was studied using a steel‐inclusion system in a laboratory setup. Isothermal interaction tests were performed to evaluate the intera…
Highly monodispersed Cu-Pt bimetallic nanoclusters were synthesized by a facile synthesis approach. Analysis of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and spherical aberration (C s)-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) images shows that the average diameter of the Cu-Pt nanoclusters is 3.0 ± 1.0…
The electric impedance of piezoelectric ceramics is influenced by variations in the acoustic load. This situation is very common for ultrasonic applications in medicine where the irradiated media can present different interfaces and impedances to the propagating acoustic energy. In this work we analyzed the behavior o…
Disorder is known to suppress the gap of a topological superconducting state that would support non-Abelian Majorana zero modes. In this paper, we study using the self-consistent Born approximation the robustness of the Majorana modes to disorder within a suitably extended Eilenberger theory, in which the spatial depe…
Abstract In this study, we designed a system of integrating gold nanoparticles and cysteamine to detect Cu2+ based on a colorimetric strategy. The quantified limit of detection towards Cu2+ is 0.4 µM, which is ∼50 times lower than the maximum contamination level (∼20 µM) in drinking water permitted by US environmental…
