Gd2O3 films were prepared on (0001)-oriented AlxGa1−xN (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.67) thin film substrates via reactive molecular-beam epitaxy. X-ray diffraction revealed that these films possessed the cubic bixbyite structure regardless of substrate composition and were all 111-oriented with in-plane rotations to account for the sym…
In this work, we investigate the local atomic structure of defect-free homogeneous and self-organized core-shell structure nanowires by means of X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (XAFS) Spectroscopy at the In LIII and K edges and Multiwavelength Anomalous Diffraction. The results are interpreted by comparison of the exp…
The pyrogallol[4]arenes have been shown to act as versatile host macrocycles for a wide variety of guest molecules, including the imidazolium-based cations of ionic liquids. This report demonstrates the use of alkyl-linked geminal dications in the design of bilayers comprising dimeric host–guest complexes. The pivotal…
The bowl-shaped hydrocarbon hexakis[( E )-3,3-dimethyl-1-butenyl]benzene ( HB ) has been cocrystallized with either C 60 or C 70 to form clamshell-like assemblies with the fullerenes residing within the concave surfaces of two HB molecules. The structures of these two crystals have been determined by single-crystal X-…
BACKGROUND: Aluminum overload and accumulation in tissues may lead to skeletal, hematological, and neurological toxicity. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of serum aluminum levels on presentations, postoperative recovery, and symptom improvement in patients undergoing parathyroidectomy for secondary hyp…
The composite microspheres based on gelatin (Gel) and chitosan (Cs) loaded with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) were fabricated using glutaraldehyde (GA) as a crosslinker. The in-vitro degradation behaviors of the Gel/Cs microspheres, including the changes of pH value, mass loss and microsphere morphology, were studied. The in-…
The Molten Salt Reactor (MSR) represents an old concept, but its properties are qualifying it for the advanced utilization: inherent safety, excellent neutron economy, possibility of continuous or batch reprocessing without fuel fabrication. The aim of this paper is to characterize the MSR unique fuel cycle advantages…
We propose to funnel, select, and collect light spectrally by exploiting the unique properties of deep-subwavelength resonant apertures in a metallic film. In our approach, each aperture has an electromagnetic cross section that is much larger than its physical size while the frequency of the collected light is contro…
Electronic structures of VO2 and its anion were investigated with density functional theory (DFT), complete active space second-order perturbation theory (CASPT2), and restricted coupled-cluster with single, double, and perturbative triple excitations (RCCSD(T)) computational quantum chemical methods. The results show…
Damping properties in the free layers of tunnel magneto-resistance (TMR) readers were reported. The study used a free layer sample consisting of the same stacking structure as in TMR readers, involved comprehensive ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) measurements, and included numerical analysis of the FMR data. The results…
There is great interest in fluorogenic compounds that tag biomolecules within cells. Biarsenicals are fluorogenic compounds that become fluorescent upon binding four proximal Cys thiols, a tetracysteine (Cys(4)) motif. This work details interactions between the biarsenical AsCy3 and Cys(4) peptides. Maximal affinity w…
We propose a digital model for high quality superlattices by including fluctuations in the superlattice periods. The composition and strain profiles are assumed to be coherent and persist throughout the superlattice. Using this model, we have significantly improved the fit with experimental X-ray diffraction data reco…
The DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry) analysis of heavy ozonized C60 fullerene (known also as “fullerene ozopolymer”), shows the exothermal decomposition of this compound with a peak at 158°C with a decomposition enthalpy ΔHdec ≈ −322 kJ/mol and an activation energy for the decomposition E# = 71 kJ/mol. These ex…
Oysters (Crassostrea angulata) are often exposed to eutrophication. However, how these exposures influence metal bioaccumulation and oral bioavailability (OBA) in oysters is unknown. After a four month field experimental cultivation, bioaccumulation factors (BAF) of metals (Fe, Cu, As, Cd, and Pb) from seawater to oys…
A multistep homogenization method is adopted to compute the effective moduli of carbon nanotube reinforced composites. The composite is assumed to be reinforced with isolated individual fibers and clustered fibers. A uniform agglomeration model is introduced assuming constant carbon nanotube cluster size throughout th…
This article provides an overview of the studies on photosynthetic picoplankton (PPP) carried out in water bodies from different latitudes of Argentina, including Patagonian lakes and shallow lakes from the Chaco-Pampean Plain Region. The PPP of the different aquatic systems: shallow and deep lakes, turbid and transpa…
A low-cost parabolic dish collector was made and tested with commercial thermoelectric modules made of bismuth telluride for electricity generation on its focal plane; the energy end exergy efficiencies were experimentally evaluated. It was found that the daily average temperature of the receiver plate in the solar pa…
The new generation Heavy Liquid Metal Reactors (HLMRs) are characterized by a pool type configuration having high pressure steam generators set inside the reactor vessel. The primary (hot low pressure LBE melt) and secondary (high pressure sub-cooled water) coolant could come into contact as consequence of Steam Gener…
Electromagnon excitation is investigated on the basis of the symmetric spin-dependent electric polarization in both collinear and noncollinear magnetically ordered states. We focus on quantum spin systems with a large easy-plane single-ion anisotropy, where both massive longitudinal (Higgs) and massless transverse (Na…
The concept of modulating enzymatic activity by exerting a mechanical stress on the enzyme has been established in previous work. Mechanical perturbation is also a tool for probing conformational motion accompanying the enzymatic cycle. Here we report measurements of the forward and reverse kinetics of the enzyme Guan…
