BACKGROUND: Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations provide valuable information on the conformational changes that accompany time-dependent motions in proteins. The reported crystal structure of rat prestin (PDB 3LLO) is remarkable for an α1-α2 inter-helical angle that differs substantially from those observed in bacteri…

It has been a persistent challenge to develop ordered conducting polymer nano- and micro-structures with a high active area. We herein report the method to produce and characterise a network of nanometre-sized walls (nano-walls) which forms on the surface of a conducting co-polymer composite film based on bithiophene…

The geometric, energetic, and magnetic properties of nonmagnetic carbon (C)-doped cadmium sulfur (CdS) nanowires (NWs) are investigated based on first-principles calculations. We find that the two C dopants are most stable when they are close to each other in the surface sites, exhibiting half-metallic (HM) behavior w…

Most researches on the mechanisms of impact welding in general base their results on the investigation of the joint area after the process, primarily by destructive testing. A detailed analysis of the joining process itself, especially concerning electromagnetic pulse welding, has not been performed yet and thus leads…

To reduce CO 2 emission, the utilization of biodiesel fuel (BDF) has expanded worldwide last decade. Accordingly, more and more glycerol that is a by-product of the BDF production process is discharged, and an effective conversion of glycerol into valuable substances has been desired. In this article, we describe a st…

We have investigated electronic and magnetic properties of a (110) film of half-metallic Heusler Fe2CrSi by the first-principle band calculations and have found that the (110) film is not half-metallic but has a high spin polarization ( P = 82%). The result for Fe2CrSi/Fe2VAl interface shows that the spin polarization…
