The cavitation field in a cylindrical vessel bottom-insonified by a 19.7kHz large area transducer is studied experimentally. By adding controlled amounts of Poly-Ethylene Glycol (PEG) to water, the viscosity of the liquid is varied between one- and nine-fold the viscosity of pure water. For each liquid, and for variou…

Multiferroics in spintronics have opened up opportunities for future technological developments, particularly in the field of ferroelectric (FE)-ferromagnetic (FM) oxide interfaces with functionalities. We find strong exchange bias shifts (up to 84 Oe) upon field cooling in metal-oxide (Fe/BaTiO3) films combining FM a…

The dimeric Repressor of Primer (Rop) protein, a widely used model system for the study of coiled-coil 4-α-helical bundles, is characterized by a remarkable structural plasticity. Loop region mutations lead to a wide range of topologies, folding states, and altered physicochemical properties. A protein-folding study o…

Ring spun yarn hairiness can be reduced by such methods as spinning with a contact surface and Z-twisting the staple strand in a “left diagonal” yarn path (denoted as LDP). Actually, the LDP method already exists in sirofil spinning technology. In this study, mechanism analysis of controlling and trapping staple fiber…

This paper describes a measurement principle of determining thermoelectric properties based on obtaining current–voltage ( I – V ) curves under two different operating conditions: (1) constant temperature difference and (2) constant thermal input flux. In addition to thermoelectric figure-of-merit, other thermoelectri…

Novel tetranuclear copper |2 + 4| cubanes 1 and 2 have been synthesized from the reaction of hydrated copper salts/precursors with N,O chelating β-ketoaminato ligands. Creation of 1 and 2 occurs by in situ generation of the tridentate chelating species HL1O(2-) via copper mediated C-O bond formation and dearomatizatio…

We have investigated the low-temperature magnetic state of face-centered-cubic (fcc) ${\mathrm{Cs}}_{3}{\mathrm{C}}_{60}$, a Mott insulator and the first molecular analog of a geometrically frustrated Heisenberg fcc antiferromagnet with $S=1/2$ spins. Specific heat studies reveal the presence of both long-range antife…

A voltammetric technique was used to produce a thin coating of polyaniline nanofibers (PANINFs) on ITO-coated glass substrates. Thereafter, bismuth sulfide nanoparticles (Bi2S3NPs) were chemically deposited on the PANINFs layer. The composite films were firmly adhered to the substrate and uniformly distributed. The fi…

Nanocrystals with more than one molecule in the unit cell will generally crystallize with incomplete unit cells on the crystal surface. Previous results show that the ensemble-averaged diffraction by such crystals consists of a usual Bragg component and two other Bragg-like components due to the incomplete unit cells.…
