Clostridium perfringens is a ubiquitous environmental organism that is capable of causing a variety of diseases in mammals, including gas gangrene and necrotic enteritis in humans. The activity of a secreted hyaluronidase, attributed to the NagH protein, contributes to the pathogenicity of this organism. The family 84…

Employing amphiphilic block copolymers in a casting process to obtain honeycomb-structured films via breath figures leads to a suborder of these porous films. A thermoresponsive block copolymer, polystyrene-block-poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide), was synthesized and used to test the arrangement of both blocks within the h…

Miscible blends of PHB and CAB were prepared by the solvent-casting method with various blend compositions, and their orientation behavior was investigated during uniaxial drawing. X-ray analysis revealed that the orientation of the crystallizable PHB component in the drawn PHB/CAB blends was changed from c-axis-orien…

Crystal structure of a ferroelectric barium titanate BaTi2O5 was investigated by the Rietveld analysis of neutron powder diffraction data measured at 706°C. The crystal structure of BaTi2O5 at 706°C was refined assuming the centrosymmetric monoclinic A2∕m space group. The crystal structures of the high-temperature A2∕…

Uniformly distributed ZnO nanorods with diameter 80–120nm and 2μm long have been grown at low temperatures on gallium nitride (GaN) by using the inexpensive aqueous solution method. The formation of the ZnO nanorods and the growth parameters are controlled by reactant concentration, temperature and pH. No catalyst is…

The convergent synthesis of a series of porphyrin-functionalized pyrimidine dendrimers has been accomplished by a procedure involving the nucleophilic aromatic substitution (NAS) as a key reaction step. The resulting dendritic porphyrin catalysts show high activity in the light-induced generation of singlet oxygen ((1…

We present a model for the optical chirality of layered liquid-crystalline phases. The model demonstrates that uniform stacking of chiral layers can lead to significant collective optical rotation, even in the absence of a superlayer helix. We predict the optical rotation of the B2 phases of bent-core liquid crystals,…
