High-quality epitaxial ZnO films on c-plane sapphire substrates have been obtained by utilizing an off-axis sputtering configuration together with buffer layers prepared via nitrogen-mediated crystallization (NMC). The role of NMC buffer layers is to provide high density of nucleation site and, thus, to reduce the str…

The electronic structure and transport of graphdiyne nanoribbons are investigated theoretically by ab initio calculations. We find that some edge states of zigzag graphdiyne nanoribbons are confined in a narrow energy range. For non-magnetic zigzag graphdiyne nanoribbons, the edge states whose energy is near the valen…

A new nitric oxide-releasing material produced with cassava starch is described. The ruthenium nitrosyl complex trans-[Ru(NH3)4(isn)NO](BF4)3 (RuNOisn; isn = isonicotinamide) is able to release NO upon either photolysis or chemical reduction. Impregnating this complex under mild conditions into cassava starch (CS) fil…

Abstract Composites have been prepared with polypropylene (PP) as a matrix and pine flours, either thermally treated (Wtr) or not (W), as fillers resulting in wood plastic composites (WPCs). The treatment by retification at 280° mainly elevates the hydrophobicity of wood. The WPCs were fabricated with a co-rotating tw…

One of the long-standing problems in effective medium theories is using the knowledge of the bulk material response to predict the behavior of the electromagnetic fields at the material boundaries. Here, using a first principles approach, we derive the boundary conditions satisfied by the macroscopic fields at interfa…

Fucokinase/L-fucose-1-P-guanylyltransferase (FKP) is a bifunctional enzyme which converts L-fucose to Fuc-1-P and thence to GDP-L-fucose through a salvage pathway. The molecular weights of full-length FKP (F-FKP) and C-terminally truncated FKP (C-FKP, residues 300-949) are 105.7 and 71.7 kDa, respectively. In this stu…
