Tannins are non toxic, cheap and abundant polyphenolic oligomers extracted from tree barks. They can be easily used for preparing thermoset resins that are natural at the 70–95% level, depending on the cases. From these resins, highly porous monoliths can be obtained by different techniques such as classical physical…
Spontaneous transformation of the thermally stable [HS](-)-bound {Fe(NO)2}(9) dinitrosyl iron complex (DNIC) [(HS)2Fe(NO)2](-) (1) into [(NO)2Fe(μ-S)]2(2-) (Roussin's red salt (RRS)) along with release of H2S, probed by NBD-SCN (NBD = nitrobenzofurazan), was observed when DNIC 1 was dissolved in water at ambient tempe…
TTL caching models have recently regained significant research interest, largely due to their ability to fit popular caching policies such as LRU. In this extended abstract we briefly describe our recent work on two exact methods to analyze TTL cache networks. The first method generalizes existing results for line net…
The development of novel assays for protease sensing plays an important role in clinical diagnostics and therapeutics. Herein, we report a supramolecular platform for label-free protease detection, based on protein/dye self-assembly and enzyme-triggered disassembly. In a typical case, coassembly of protamine sulfate a…
We investigate photoluminescence of Eu-related emission in a GaN host consisting of thin layers grown by organometallic vapor-phase epitaxy. By comparing it with a reference sample of Eu-doped Y₂O₃, we find that the fraction of Eu(3+) ions that can emit light upon optical excitation is of the order of 1%. We also meas…
A novel porous succinylated bioadsorbent was prepared by the partial enzymatic hydrolysis of bamboo (Phyllostachys heterocycla) and its subsequent modification with succinic anhydride. Pb(II) removal from solutions that also contained sodium chloride and an amino acid was investigated using the bioadsorbent. Enzymatic…
This paper describes a series of experiments that probe the behavior of dense granular materials. We first establish a broad context for these studies that identifies several key properties: spatial inhomogeneity for forces represented by force networks and force chains, dilation, temporal fluctuations, and the genera…
Bi2Se3 topological insulators (TIs) are grown on AlN(0001)/Si(111) substrates by molecular beam epitaxy. In a one-step growth at optimum temperature of 300 °C, Bi2Se3 bonds strongly with AlN without forming interfacial reaction layers. This produces high epitaxial quality Bi2Se3 single crystals with a perfect registry…
The molecular chaperones of the Hsp90 family are essential in all eukaryotic cells. They assist late folding steps and maturation of many different proteins, called clients, that are not related in sequence or structure. Hsp90 interaction with its clients appears to be coupled to a series of conformational changes. Us…
The top-blown oxygen jet behaviours at different stagnation temperatures in converter steelmaking process were investigated by using numerical simulation technique. The multiphase flow in top-blown converter with four-hole lance was computed. The results show that with the increasing stagnation temperature of the supe…
Thin film electrode materials are key components in the development of high rate, high capacity solid‐state Li‐ion batteries. Detailed knowledge of the epitaxial film/substrate(current‐collector) interface structures, which provides insights into epitaxial growth mechanisms and the effects of microstructure on electro…
The effective use of lyotropic liquid crystalline dispersions, such as cubosomes, as drug delivery vehicles requires that they have tailored physical characteristics that suit specific therapeutics and external conditions. Here, we have developed phytantriol-based cubosomes from a dispersion of unilamellar vesicles an…
Hydroxyapatite (HA) is a widely researched calcium phosphate biomaterial that is used primarily in bone replacement due to its chemical similarity to bone mineral. Many synthesis methods have been reported for the production of stoichiometric HA; however, processing parameters vary widely for each technique. Herein, t…
Dopamine–silver (DAAg) nanoparticles were synthesized in aqueous solution via bioinspired adhesion and redox reaction, and they were then incorporated into poly (dimethyl siloxane) (PDMS) matrix to prepare PDMS–DAAg hybrid membranes for pervaporative desulfurization of model gasoline. The loading content of Ag(I) in D…
For the fabrication of efficient photovoltaic devices and thin-film transistors, π-conjugated polymers with high molecular weight are desirable as they frequently show superior charge transport, morphological, and film-forming properties. Herein, we present an extremely fast tin-free method to polymerize a naphthalene…
Based on a vector wave theory of volume holograms, dependence of holographic reconstruction on the polarization states of the writing and reading beams is discussed. It is found that under paraxial approximation the circular polarization holograms provide a better distinction of the reading beams. Characteristics of r…
Fusion of lipid membranes is an important natural process for the intra- and intercellular exchange of molecules. However, little is known about the actual fusion mechanism at the molecular level. In this study we examine a system that models the key features of this process. For the molecular recognition between oppo…
Self-compliance resistive random access memory (RRAM) characteristics using a W/TaO x /TiN structure are reported for the first time. A high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM) image shows an amorphous TaO x layer with a thickness of 7 nm. A thin layer of TiO x N y with a thickness of 3 nm is formed at…
Four organic dyes based on indolo[3,2,1-jk]carbazole (IC-1, IC-2, IC-3, and IC-4) with different π-bridges (benzene ring and thiophene ring) are used for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) to investigate the effect of π-bridge on their photovoltaic performance. The introduction of thiophene ring as π-bridge (the dye I…
Simple molecular structures capable of emitting over the entire visible range are still a challenge. Planar molecular structures have the drawback of fluorescence quenching in the solid state thus limiting their application fields. Combining long range excimer/exciplex emissions with a compound emission have been used…
