Abstract—The interaction between a metamaterial cylindrical structure and an incident plane wave is investigated. The structure is comprised of two cylinders, one embedded into the other, whose effective characteristics vary with the operating frequency following similar laws. Such a model can be used to describe peri…
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are synthesized and stabilized by new "clicked" dendrimers of generations zero to two (G(0)-G(2)) containing tri- and tetra-ethyleneglycol tethers; they are either encapsulated by G(1) (81 tethers) and G(2) (243 tethers) or stabilized without encapsulation by G(0) (27 tethers).
Rapid start-up times are a big challenge for high-temperature fuel cells such as solid oxide fuel cells ͑SOFCs͒, especially large-sized stacks with high power outputs.This paper presents the development of tubular and microtubular anode-supported SOFCs and the design and testing of the thermal stability of such single…
The uptake and diffusivity of ethylene in amorphous and semicrystalline s-PS (syndiotactic polystyrene) films presenting different crystalline phases and different crystalline-phase orientations have been studied by gravimetric and Fourier transform infrared measurements. High solubility and low diffusivity of ethylen…
The problem regarding top possible (hopefully, total) fleld suppression of a fll- amentary source placed above nonuniform impedance plane is discussed. New designs of the electromagnetic fleld absorbers and resonators are suggested which may be engineered with the use of metamaterials. 1. INTRODUCTION | ABSORPTION OF…
We report that nanometric bismuth can directly be electrodeposited at room temperature without the use of a nanoporous template. The morphology, microstructure, and purity of the as-prepared electrodeposits were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and infrared spectroscopy.…
Quantum dots (QDs) have size-tunable optical properties, such as photostability, strong photoluminescence and a large Stokes-shift, which make it possible to adapt them to various biological applications. In many cases, surface modification of QDs by carboxylate ligands has been extensively studied. However, there hav…
The innovative field of nanotechnology is most likely to benefit society and gain acceptance if environmental and human health considerations are investigated systematically, and those results are used to optimise safety as well as performance. Since nanotechnology fundamentally allows manipulation of matter at the at…
It was shown that a strong anodic oxidation of 100-oriented diamond induces the electronic surface states, which pin the surface Fermi level at about 3.6 eV above the valence-band maximum. The characteristics of the electronic surface barrier were evaluated from the analysis of boron-doped diamond electrodes and corre…
Abstract To investigate the influence of equal channel angular pressing on the microstructure and texture of the magnesium alloy AZ31, electron backscattering diffraction and well as neutron diffraction experiments were carried out. Through these experiments it was possible to trace the microstructure and texture evol…
The dinuclear Cp*Co dithiolene complex [Cp*Co(btt)CoCp*] ( 1) is prepared in high yield from the reaction of the bis(dibutyltin) complex of 1,2,4,5-benzenetetrathiolate (btt) with 2 equiv of [Cp*Co(CO)I 2]. Mononuclear complexes are also obtained from 1,2,4,5-tetrakis(isopropylthio)benzene ( 2) and sodium in pyridine,…
This paper describes the preparation and use of conjugates of porphyrins and bile acids as ligands to bind to tumor expressed saccharides. Bile acid-porphyrin conjugates were tested for recognition of saccharides that are typically present on malignant tumor cells. Fluorescence microscopy, in vitro PDT cell killing, a…
The formation mechanism of ceria nanoparticles in solutions of cerium(III) nitrate and hexamethylenetetramine has been studied for the first time, using UV/visible spectroscopy and x-ray diffraction. The process has been shown to involve, as an intermediate step, the formation of cerium(III) hydroxycarbonate. The effe…
BACKGROUND: Polymers are attractive materials for both biomedical engineering and cardiovascular applications. Although nano-topography has been found to influence cell behaviour, no established method exists to understand and evaluate the effects of nano-topography on polymer-blood interaction. RESULTS: We optimized…
A novel core/shell CaWO4 microsphere co-doped with Na+ and Ln3+ (Ln=Dy, Tb, Sm, Eu) was successfully prepared by the self-assembly of 8.5 nm particles, and shows a unique multicolor emission in the visible region when excited by single-wavelength light.
Heat and mechanical protection properties of 6 fabric combinations commonly used in firefighters' protective clothing were assessed before and after different heat treatment. It was shown that after heat exposure, the values obtained were generally lower than in the original state. The mechanical properties of the mat…
AIM: To prepare chitosan-polyaspartic acid-5-fluorouracil (CTS-Pasp-5Fu) nanoparticles and investigate its anti-carcinoma effect and toxicity. METHODS: CTS-Pasp-5Fu nanoparticles were synthesized by ionic gelatification. Male BABL/c nude mice were injected with SGC-7901 gastric carcinoma cell line mass to establish a…
Ag nanoparticles photocatalytically deposited on single-crystalline TiO(2)(111) and (100) surfaces exhibit visible light-induced topographic and spectral changes corresponding to the light wavelength. A certain amount of adsorbed water on the surface is essential for the changes. The photoinduced behaviors strongly de…
A one-dimensional button-cell model is developed and applied to explore the influence of anode microstructure on solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) performance. The model couples porous-media gas transport and elementary electrochemical kinetics within a porous Ni–yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) cermet anode, a dense YSZ e…
The Gaussian beam propagation in multi-layered structures that include indefinite anisotropic metamaterial (AMM) are simulated with shift operator method in Finite-Difference Time-Domain method (FDTD). The excitations of backward and forward surface affected by the types of biaxial AMM are investigated. Numerical resu…
