Mesoporous Pt skins on Co nanochains are successfully synthesized by a displacement reaction between Pt species and a Co support with the assistance of surfactant micelles. The assembly of surfactant micelles on Co nanochains plays a key role in the formation of mesoporous Pt layers. The evolution of the mesoporous Pt…
The development and application of an L-glutamic acid functionalized graphene nanocomposite, modified glassy carbon electrode are reported for the determination of epinephrine. The properties of the nanocomposite were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy, infrared…
Current cutoff in lightning channels, which takes place in the development of both intracloud and cloud-to-ground flashes, is still poorly understood. A new evaluation of the conditions leading to current cutoff, and also of the two existing hypotheses of the cutoff mechanism, is the main objective of the paper. We re…
Simple and efficient solid-state synthetic methods, aging and ball milling (liquid-assisted grinding, LAG), have been employed to achieve reactions of triphenylphosphine (tpp) and 1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene (dppf) with dicyclopalladated azobenzenes (DMF)PdCl(μ-R 1 C 6 H 3 N═NC 6 H 3 R 2 )PdCl(DMF), R 1 = H,…
Hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (nHA) have been used in different biomedical applications where certain particle size distribution and morphology are required. Chitosan/hydroxyapatite (CS/HA) nanocomposites were prepared using in situ coprecipitation technique and the effect of the reaction temperature on the crystalliza…
The use of fibers to reinforce clays in various applications such as the stabilization of shallow steep earth slopes and steep cover systems for landfills is on the increase. Hemp fibers are natural fibers that originate from the plant Cannabis Sativa. Hemp is legally planted in different countries including Spain, Ch…
The effect of small phenolic compounds in pretreated stover on celluase activity is crucial but has not yet been fully elucidated. This work investigated the effects of both phenolic acid and phenolic aldehyde on cellulase activity. The model substances of small phenolic compounds identified in steam exploded corn sto…
Suspensions of carbon blacks and spherical carbon particles are studied experimentally and numerically to understand the role of the particle shape on the tendency to percolation. Two commercial carbon blacks and one lab-synthesized spherical carbon are used. The percolation thresholds in suspensions are experimentall…
In pavement constructions, asphalt binders are often modified with synthetic polymers to sustain excessive heat during hot summer days. However, the cost of a polymer-modified binder (PMB) is significantly higher than a neat binder. Nanoclays, however, are relatively inexpensive and naturally abundant and have favorab…
Basic principles of statistical mechanics require that proteins sample an ensemble of conformations at any nonzero temperature. However, it is still common to treat the crystallographic structure of a protein as the structure of its native state, largely because high-resolution structural characterization of protein f…
Abstract A new strategy for the non‐chromatographic extraction of metallofullerenes from solutions of arc‐processed raw soot is based on the size‐selective complexation with cycloparaphenylene (CPP). [11]CPP has a high affinity for Mx@C82 (x=1, 2); for example, Gd@C82 can be selectively extracted from a fullerene mixt…
A new C(3v)-symmetric urea-based heteroditopic tripodal receptor capable of recognizing both anions and ion pairs was designed, synthesized, and characterized. The protonated receptor forms a sulfate complex which encapsulates a single DMF in the tripodal cavity of the receptor. However, the SO4(2-) anion is located o…
Complex axial and radial type III‐nitride InGaN/GaN nanowire LEDs are realized using a recently developed top–down fabrication approach which enables high quality GaN‐based nanowires with independently controlled height, pitch, and diameter. In this paper, we report on the fabrication, structural characterization, and…
We report an interesting effect in the form of a rise (up to 13%) in the permittivity of graphene (GE) filled polyvinylidene difluoride trifluoroethylene (P(VDF-TrFE)) subjected to a small uniaxial deformation (up to 7% in the principal direction). Our findings differ from GE-PVDF homopolymer samples that show a decre…
Mulberry (Morus sp.) is one of the economically important trees grown in Asian countries. It is cultivated to provide leaves for feeding the caterpillars of the silk producing insect (Bombyx mori L.). In addition, it adds value through production of edible fruits, timber and several pharmaceutically important chemical…
Zeolites are crystalline aluminosilicates with pores of molecular dimensions. They are extensively used as catalysts in the chemical industry. Recently, zeolite catalysts have found a new application in the methanol to hydrocarbons (MTH) reaction, which is currently of growing industrial significance, especially for t…
Abstract Supramolecular nanoparticles (SNPs) encompass multiple copies of different building blocks brought together by specific noncovalent interactions. The inherently multivalent nature of these systems allows control of their size as well as their assembly and disassembly, thus promising potential as biomedical de…
We report 2 cases of suspected low-grade glioma with positive 18F-fluorodihydroxyphenylalanine (18F-FDOPA) PET scan, and histological diagnosis of brain inflammation corresponding to an acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) and to a neurosarcoidosis. It has been shown that this amino-acid PET radiotracer serves…
Taxanes are a class of anticancer agents with a broad spectrum and have been widely used to treat a variety of cancer. However, its long-term use has been hampered by accumulating toxicity and development of drug resistance. The most extensively reported mechanism of resistance is the overexpression of P-glycoprotein…
Studying the interaction between neuronal cells and chiral molecules is fundamental for the design of novel biomaterials and drugs. Chirality influences all biological processes that involve intermolecular interaction. One common method used to study cellular interactions with different enantiomeric targets is the use…
