The time-resolved optical Kerr effect spectroscopy (OKE) is a powerful experimental tool enabling accurate investigations of the dynamic phenomena in molecular liquids. We introduced innovative experimental and fitting procedures, that enable a safe deconvolution of sample response function from the instrumental funct…
This study has been aimed at the phase stabilization of tetragonal Zirconia ( t ‐ ZrO 2 ) by the additions of Ca 2+ and PO 4 3− through an in situ synthetic approach. A wide range of variations have been attempted in which the precursor concentrations of Ca 2+ and PO 4 3− have been maintained constant for every synthe…
Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) Schiff base, a versatile cofactor, exhibits a tautomeric equilibrium that involves an intramolecular proton transfer between the N-protonated zwitterionic ketoenamine tautomer and the O-protonated covalent enolimine tautomer. It has been postulated that for the catalytic activity, the PLP…
ABSTRACT This paper studies the problem of electromagnetic fields observed outside of an infinite metallic casing due to dipolar excitations inside the pipe. Closed-form expressions are derived for the hertz vector potential driving the solution of the boundary value problem. The results indicates that the fields outs…
Dimethyl ether is an attractive alternative to petroleum fuels due to its physical properties, comparable energy density to methanol and ethanol, and minimal deleterious environmental/toxicological effects. For direct fuel cells, it has a number of advantages over other prominent fuels, including easier storage with r…
Cellular and nuclear delivery of biomolecules is limited by low membrane permeability. Cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) can be covalently linked to cargos to improve cellular internalization. Our work indicates that arginine-rich CPPs are also able to interact with a variety of cargos, including DNA, RNA, proteins and…
BACKGROUND: Intracavitary noncompressible hemorrhage remains a significant cause of preventable death on the battlefield and in the homeland. We previously demonstrated the hemostatic efficacy of an in situ self-expanding poly(urea)urethane foam in a severe, closed-cavity, hepatoportal exsanguination model in swine. W…
We report great enhancement in photoelectrochemical water splitting efficiency of hematite assisted by fast and easy transfer of electrons/holes via a 3D-nanoporous gold (3D-NG) electrode. 3D-nanostructured α-Fe2O3/NG electrodes were fabricated in three subsequent procedures, de-alloying Au/Ag to produce a conductive…
Over the last 50 years, significant progress has been made toward understanding how small single-domain proteins fold. However, very little is known about folding mechanisms of medium and large multidomain proteins that predominate the proteomes of all forms of life. Large proteins frequently fold cotranslationally an…
Concrete corrosion due to sulphuric acid attack is known to be one of the main contributory factors for degradation of concrete sewer pipes. This article proposes to use a novel data mining technique, namely, evolutionary polynomial regression (EPR), to predict degradation of concrete subject to sulphuric acid attack.…
Exciton and charge dynamics of poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) blended with covalently linked monomeric (MP), dimeric (BP), or trimeric (TP) fullerene derivatives are investigated by using near-infrared time-resolved absorption spectroscopy under low excitation photon fluence. A low blending ratio (10%, w/w) of the full…
In this paper, a novel compact plasmonic polarization converter is proposed. This rotator is based on conversion between even and odd modes of the coupled nanostrip plasmonic transmission line. The even and odd modes of that line have vertical and horizontal polarization, respectively. The proposed structure is capabl…
The existence of blood-brain barrier (BBB) represents the most formidable challenge for drug delivery to the central nervous system (CNS). Modern breakthrough in biology offers multiple choices for overcoming this barrier but yields modest outcomes for clinical application due to various problems such as safety concer…
Atom Probe Tomography (APT) is a near-atomic-scale analytical technique which, due to recent advances in instrumentation and sample preparation techniques, is being used on a variety of 3D applications. Total system detection efficiency is a key parameter for obtaining accurate spatial reconstruction of atomic coordin…
We propose an optical antenna as a unidirectional surface plasmon polariton (SPP) mode launcher. Appropriate tuning of the transverse and longitudinal resonance of the antenna makes the scattered field pattern mimic that of the rotating dipole. An extinction ratio of 110 dB is achieved for the SPP launched via the opt…
Abstract The intermolecular hydrogen‐bonds between proflavine cation (PC) and water molecules are investigated by density functional theory (DFT) and time‐dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) methods. The ground‐state geometry optimizations, electronic excitation energies and corresponding oscillation strengths…
Novel film forming polymeric dispersions for transdermal nicotine delivery were prepared from deproteinized natural rubber latex (DNRL) blended with hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) and dibutyl phthalate (DBP) or glycerin (GLY) as plasticizer. The preliminary molecular compatibility of ingredients was observed by F…
Two novel materials, SF2BCz and SF3BCz, which combine spirobifluorene (SF) and carbazole units by meta- and para-bonding, have been designed and synthesized by a straightforward process as hosts in phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes (PhOLEDs), and their thermal and electronic absorption and photoluminescent…
) emulsion solvent evaporation technique. Hydrophilic drugs (siRNA for gene silencing and bovine serum albumin as model protein) and hydrophobic drugs (5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-21H,23H-porphine, THPP, a photosensitizer for photodynamic therapy) were encapsulated as model drugs. Eudragit®-E100 is a poly(met…
A survey of approximately 100,000 entries in recent releases of the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) has uncovered 156 crystal structures that were apparently described in inappropriate space groups. We have revised these space groups and prepared CIFs containing the new coordinates and brief comments describing th…
