Abstract A crystallographic study of 13 specimens of diamonds with euhedral single-crystalline graphite inclusions in their centres is presented. All inclusions belong to the hexagonal graphite modification (space group P 6 3 / mmc ; a 0 ≈ 2.46 Å, c 0 ≈ 6.70 Å) and are up to 300 μm in diameter. Comparison of the measu…

Crack–opening displacement (COD) measurements were performed on a commercial lead zirconate titanate (PZT). The intrinsic fracture toughness (or crack–tip toughness) of this material was determined using a new evaluation procedure, which takes into account the near–tip CODs and complete crack profile CODs. The crack–t…

Post-steam-treatment is a facile and effective method for improving the catalytic performances of Mo/HZSM-5 catalysts in methane dehydroaromatization under nonoxidative conditions. The treatment can enhance the stability of the catalyst and also give a higher methane conversion and a higher yield of light aromatics, a…

Abstract Separating particles from the liquid in which they are suspended is often an important step in processing multiphase materials such as suspensions and emulsions. We describe a new method to separate neutrally buoyant particles from viscous liquids. The method is based on the low Reynolds number motion of free…

Chitosan was covalently coupled to type I collagen by using 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-carbodiimide in morpholinoethane sulfonic acid buffer. The physico-chemical characteristics of the collagen/chitosan matrices (CCM) were evaluated by electron spectroscopy and tensile mechanical strength. The platelet deposit…

Abstract Thermal power stations that use pulverized coal as fuel generate large quantities of fly ash, resulting in environmental and disposal problems. Increasing demand for power leads to a greater use of coal and hence a further increase in the quantity of fly ash. These problems can be solved if the fly ash is put…

Abstract An unsymmetrical diamine monomer 4‐( p ‐aminophenoxy)‐3‐trifluoromethyl‐4′‐aminobiphenyl has been synthesized successfully. This monomer leads to the synthesis of different novel poly(ether imide)s when reacted with different dianhydrides like pyromellatic dianhydride (PMDA), benzophenone tetracarboxylic acid…

Biomineralization produces crystals of elaborate shapes, never seen in inorganic mineralogy, with tightly regulated compositions and axis orientations. The calcite coccoliths produced by unicellular marine algae provide an example of such control at very tiny scales. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) of two species provid…

Dielectric spectroscopy of two room temperature chiral liquid crystal mixtures (W-96 and W-97) have been carried out in the frequency range of 100 mHz–10 MHz. Low frequency dielectric relaxation modes corresponding to collective behavior of molecules (Goldstone- and soft-modes) in the SmC* phase have been found to be…

It is thought that the nuclear nonchromatin structures, such as the nuclear matrix and lamina, play regulatory roles in gene expression. In this study, we identified an insoluble protein that was associated with the chromatin-depleted nuclear structure of proliferating human leukemia HL-60 cells. Preparation of the ch…

The physical mechanism for the all-dielectric reflection gratings to achieve high efficiency in the -1st-order Littrow mounting is studied. The all-dielectric gratings consist of two parts, a surface-relief grating and a highly reflecting dielectric stack. The surface-relief grating sits on top of the reflecting stack…
