Abstract Primary explosives, unlike secondary explosives, show a very rapid transition from combustion (or deflagration) to detonation and are considerably sensitive to small stimuli, such as impact, friction, electrostatic discharge, and heat. Primary explosives generate either a large amount of heat or a shockwave,…
Computational studies, especially those that use density functional theory (DFT), have become pervasive in the characterization, mechanistic study, and optimization of homogeneous organometallic catalysts, and the "rational" design of such catalysts seems within reach once more. But how advanced, user-friendly, and re…
Leakage is the major factor for unaccounted losses in every pipe network around the world (oil, gas, or water). In most cases, the deleterious effects associated with the occurrence of leaks may present serious economical and health problems. Therefore, leaks must be quickly detected, located, and repaired. Unfortunat…
Autophagy inhibition is emerging as a new paradigm for efficient cancer therapy by overcoming multidrug resistance (MDR). Here, we developed an effective chemotherapeutic system for oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) based on polymeric nanomicelles for codelivery of the anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) and the autop…
By the introduction of 14 anionic carboxylate groups at its two rims, a water-soluble pillar[7]arene (WP7) was synthesized. Its pH-controlled complexation with paraquat G1 in water was investigated. Host WP7 and guest G1 formed a 1:1 [2]pseudorotaxane with a high association constant of (2.96 ± 0.31) × 10(9) M(-1) in…
A computational strategy is devised for the accurate ab initio simulation of elastic properties of crystalline materials under pressure. The proposed scheme, based on the evaluation of the analytical stress tensor and on the automated computation of pressure-dependent elastic stiffness constants, is implemented in the…
Indoline photosensitizers exhibit impressive short-circuit photocurrent but generally low molar extinction coefficient and rapid charge recombination, which limits their application in thin-film dye-sensitizerd solar cells (DSCs). Here, we incorporate a new dithieno[3,2-b:2',3'-d]pyrrole (DTP) segment (i.e., dihexylox…
Despite the pressing need to noninvasively monitor transplanted cells in vivo with fluorescence imaging, desirable fluorescent agents with rapid labeling capability, durable brightness, and ideal biocompatibility remain lacking. Here, phosphorylcholine-coated near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent semiconducting polymer nano…
A series of four polymers containing benzo[1,2‐b:4,5‐b′]dithiophene (BDT) and 5,6‐difluoro‐4,7‐diiodobenzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole (2FBT), PBDT2FBT, PBDT2FBT‐O, PBDT2FBT‐T, and PBDT2FBT‐T‐O, are synthesized with their four different side chains, alkyl‐, alkoxy‐, alkylthienyl‐, and alkoxythienyl. Experimental results and…
A facile and highly efficient new approach (namely RAFT coupling chemistry) to obtain well-defined hydrophilic molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) microspheres with excellent specific recognition ability toward small organic analytes in the real, undiluted biological samples is described. It involves the first synthes…
microRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs involved in post-transcriptional gene regulation. They were first identified in the free-living nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, where the miRNAs lin-4 and let-7 were shown to be essential for regulating correct developmental progression. The sequence of let-7 was subsequen…
Biocatalyst immobilization onto carbon-based nanosupports has been implemented in a variety of applications ranging from biosensing to biotransformation and from decontamination to energy storage. However, retaining enzyme functionality at carbon-based nanosupports was challenged by the non-specific attachment of the…
N+-bombarded multi-walled carbon nanotubes (N+-bombarded MWCNTs), with different nitrogen atomic percentages, were achieved by different N ion beam currents using ion beam-assisted deposition (IBAD) on MWCNTs synthesized by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Characterizations of N+-bombarded MWCNTs were evaluated by X-r…
To evaluate the long-term effect of compost (CM) and inorganic fertilizer (NPK) application on microbial community structure and organic carbon (OC) accumulation at aggregate scale, soils from plots amended with CM, NPK and no fertilizer (control) for 20 years (1989-2009) were collected. Soil was separated into large…
Using the functional renormalization group we investigated possible superconductivity in doped ${\mathrm{Sr}}_{2}{\mathrm{IrO}}_{4}$. In the electron-doped case, a ${d}_{{x}^{2}\ensuremath{-}{y}^{2}}^{*}$-wave superconducting phase is found in a narrow doping region. The pairing is driven by spin fluctuations within t…
The complex microstructure of organic semiconductor mixtures continues to obscure the connection between the active layer morphology and photovoltaic device performance. For example, the ubiquitous presence of mixed phases in the active layer of polymer/fullerene solar cells creates multiple morphologically distinct i…
By altering the lattice geometry of the photonic crystal (PhC) surface-emitting lasers (PCSELs), we tune the regular lasing band edges of quadratic dispersions to form a single accidental Dirac point of linear dispersion at the Brillouin zone center. This not only increases the mode spacing by orders of magnitude but…
Increasing emphasis on energy conservation and environmental protection has led to the investigation of the alternatives to customary building materials. Some of the significant goals behind understaking such investigations are to reduce the greenhouse gasemissions and minimize the energy required formaterial producti…
A gas/liquid interface will be formed when the free volatilized methyl aldehyde gas begins to dissolve in to solution. On the basis of the traditional silver mirror reaction, silver nanoparticle-manganese oxyhydroxide-graphene oxide (Ag-MnOOH-GO) nanocomposite was synthesized at the gas/liquid interface without any pr…
We consider time-reversal-symmetric two-channel semiconducting quantum wires proximity coupled to a conventional s-wave superconductor. We analyze the requirements for a nontrivial topological phase and find that the necessary conditions are (1) the determinant of the pairing matrix in channel space must be negative,…
