A micromanipulation technique has been developed to measure the bursting force of single dry microcapsules coated onto a surface, such as those normally used in carbonless copying paper. For measuring the bursting force of a given microcapsule, a single fine probe with a flat end about 10 microns in diameter was used…
An experimental laboratory set-up was used to study the influence of different grain size compositions and temperatures on the growth of benth~c cyanobacteria and diatoms, and on the competition between these 2 groups. Monospecific cultures of 3 species of cyanobacteria (Merismopedia punctata, Microcoleus chthonoplast…
The `excitation profile' of a liquid is a measure of the rate per kelvin at which the liquid is driven by entropy generation to the top of its potential energy landscape. We argue that it determines the liquid fragility, and hence controls the canonical features of viscous liquid phenomenology. We seek to prove this u…
The influence of the synthesis method on the luminescence efficiency of the orthoborate YBO 3 :Eu 3+ was studied by comparing the optical performances of samples prepared by three routes: solid state reaction (SR), wet process (WP) and sol-gel processing (SG). On the basis of X-ray powder diffraction, SEM micrographs…
Addition of cations such as tetraalkylammonium or sodium ions to the synthesis gel results in considerable improvement of the hydrothermal stability of mesoporous molecular sieve MCM-41.
Ti 2p and Ti 3p X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) were taken for TiO2, SrTiO3 and BaTiO3 single crystals fractured insitu in an electron spectrometer. The inelastic scattering energy loss parts were removed from the observed Ti core level XPS by a deconvolution method using O 1s spectra as a response function. The Ti…
${\mathrm{La}}_{2/3}{\mathrm{Ca}}_{1/3}{\mathrm{MnO}}_{3}$ doped with Fe were studied by M\"ossbauer spectroscopy and neutron powder diffraction. The M\"ossbauer spectra (MS) reveal that Fe substitutes for Mn as ${\mathrm{Fe}}^{3+}$ $(S=5/2)$ and is antiferromagnetically coupled to the Mn host lattice. The magnetic be…
A series of Al, Ti, Zn and Zr compounds, i.e., their metal alkoxides, organic acid and enolate salts, halid and oxide, were evaluated as intramolecular transesterification catalysts for the thermal depolymerization reaction of poly(L-lactic acid) oligomer resulting in LL-lactide, meso-lactide and DD-lactide by gas chr…
A summary of the outstanding characteristics of the polarizable continuum model (PCM), compared with other effective Hamiltonian methods to treat chemical problems in solution, is accompanied with a more detailed exposition of the computational features recently introduced for the calculation of molecular properties i…
In the light of a recent study which identified the beneficial influence of poorly crystallised ferrihydrite Fe5HO8·4H2O on the activity of CO conversion catalysts comprising gold nanoparticles on oxidic iron, we have investigated three series of ferrihydrite-rich samples prepared by coprecipitation. The samples were…
Ag nanoparticles have been synthesised within a mesoporous template-structured silica film by a chemical route which includes ion-exchange with Ag(NH3)2+ followed by reduction.
The effects of chromium picolinate (CrPic) supplementation and resistance training (RT) on skeletal muscle size, strength, and power and whole body composition were examined in 18 men (age range 56-69 yr). The men were randomly assigned (double-blind) to groups (n = 9) that consumed either 17.8 micromol Cr/day (924 mi…
Silver metal has the highest room-temperature electrical conductivity of any substance; however, it has found limited acceptance in the electronic industry (e.g., silver filled epoxy) due to the high rate of metal corrosion and migration causing dendrites and electrical failures. With decreasing transistor feature siz…
The organic solvents employed in liposome preparation, such as chlorinated solvents, diethyl ether or methanol, although usually removed by evaporation, may remain as traces in the final formulation representing a possible risk for human health and influencing the stability of the vesicles. In order to solve the above…
We have investigated the complex ac conductivity of for , temperatures and frequencies . In addition, results from dc measurements are presented. From the frequency dependence of the complex conductivity we find hopping of Anderson-localized charge carriers as the dominant transport process in certain temperature and…
It is shown that certain regions of commercially available 500 kV non-ceramic insulators have surface electric fields that are above the threshold for water drop corona. Observations made in a full scale accelerated aging chamber, and in service, demonstrate that water drop corona occurs on such insulators. A correlat…
Readily available R8Si8O12 frameworks react selectively with aqueous Et4NOH to afford discrete incompletely-condensed silsesquioxanes: reaction of R8Si8O12 (2a, R = c-C6H11; 2b, R = Bui) with Et4NOH first produces endo-D2-R8Si8O11(OH)2 (3a, R = c-C6H11; 3b, R = Bui), which reacts further with Et4NOH to produce endo-C2…
We report measurements of the dc magnetization, the low-field ac magnetic susceptibility, and the electrical resistivity of large (up to 0.5 ${\mathrm{cm}}^{3}$) single-grain samples of icosahedral $R\ensuremath{-}\mathrm{M}\mathrm{g}\ensuremath{-}\mathrm{Z}\mathrm{n}$ $(R=\mathrm{Y},$ Tb, Dy, Ho, and Er). The dc magn…
Elastomeric networks of poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) were reinforced with silica particles introduced in two rather different ways. The first was by the simple blending of separately-prepared particles into hydroxyl-terminated PDMS chains that were subsequently end-linked, and the second was by in-situ precipitation…
The synthesis of three new derivatives of tert-butylcalix[4]arene bearing four carbamoylmethylphosphine oxide (CMPO) groups as ligating functions on the narrow rim is described. These are easily prepared in 65–80% yield via acylation of the corresponding fixed cone aminoalkoxy (C2 to C4) derivatives with p-nitrophenyl…
