The maleate cis-trans isomerase gene (maiA) from Serratia marcescens IFO3736 was cloned and sequenced. Serratia MaiA has 62.4% amino acid identity with Alcaligenes faecalis IFO13111 MaiA and 64.9% with Bacillus stearothermophilus MI-102 MaiA. All known ten amino acid sequences of MaiA had significant conserved regions…
Abstract Of the principal classes of engineering materials, ceramics are in many ways the most interesting and challenging. Many properties, or combination, of properties, not achievable with other classes of materials give ceramics enormous technical potential. The main obstacles that prevent the wider use of ceramic…
Nanometre-sized poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) particle domains in a confined space were obtained by blending PVDF with excess poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). When these particles were small enough they showed β-form structure, which was different from the structure of bigger particles or PVDF bulk. However, the β…
Liposomes or lipid nanoparticles are amphiphilic vesicles that allow the inclusion of substances of interest of any kind, both lipophilic and hydrophilic. This has put these transport systems in the spotlight for some time because it has been shown that they can function as carriers to release controlled and targeted…
The changes in pressure-composition isotherms, structural and magnetic properties upon cyclic hydrogen absorption-desorption have been investigated for LaNi5 and LaNi4.7Al0.3 in order to identify the origin of their performance degradation. The hydrogen storage capacity of LaNi5 was observed to degrade by 35% after cy…

X-ray photoelectron (XPS) and X-ray Auger electron spectroscopy (XAES) were used for investigating the chemical and structural states of various aluminates. A clear chemical shift in Al modified Auger parameter (AP) for coordination state of Al atom was observed. For similar chemical composition, the AP of tetrahedral…
Flexible polyurethane foam based on toluene diisocyanate and polyester polyol has been liquefied by treatment with either dimethyl phosphonate (CH3O)2P(O)H or diethyl phosphonate (C2H5O)2P(O)H at 160°C. The product degraded has been studies by 1H, 13C, and 31P nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The likely…
Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry was used to investigate the binding of selected carbohydrates to different multimeric forms of apo-concanavalin A (apo-Con A). Information on the stoichiometry of the different quaternary Con A complexes, bound to high-affinity carbohydrate ligands, could be derived from the m…
The metallation of [p-Butcalix[4](ONa)2(OMe)2] 1 was performed using [CrCl3(THF)3] and the resulting complex [Cr{p-Butcalix[4](O)2(OMe)2}(Cl)(THF)] 2 allowed entry into low valent and organometallic chemistry of chromium. In the presence of strong bases or nucleophiles the ligand underwent demethylation exemplified by…
The Young’s modulus, shear modulus and Vickers hardness of alkali oxide-, alkaline earth oxide- and rare earth oxide-aluminosilicate glasses were measured. For the direct calculation of these properties from the glass composition, semi-empirical equations expressed in terms of the product of the apparent Madelung cons…
Abstract The acoustic resonance of the air cavity in the tire/wheel assembly may be a contributor to vehicle interior noise through the structure‐borne noise transmission path. This problem has been examined in the past using approximate closed form solutions (based on plane wave theory for a two‐tube model) and numer…
Modulated differential scanning calorimetry has been carried out on melt-mixed blends of poly(ethylene oxide)/atactic-poly(methyl methacrylate) (PEO/PMMA). Two PEO molecular weights have been used to prepare blends in the concentration range 10 to 80 wt % of PEO. Two glass transitions temperatures were observed for th…
Abstract Corrosion can be defined as a chemical or electrochemical reaction between a material, usually a metal, and its environment that produces a deterioration of the material and its properties. This chapter describes the effects and economic impact of corrosion in major industrial plants. The emphasis in this cha…
A surface study of two different monocomponent polyurethane coatings containing perfluoropolyether macromers is presented. Different techniques were used in order to investigate the structural characteristics of the two polymers. In particular, transmission infrared spectroscopy provided information about the chemical…
Electronic, pure vibrational and dispersion contributions to the linear polarizability, α, and first hyperpolarizability, β, of the group 16 chalcogenides C4H4X (X=O, S, Se, Te) have been studied by ab initio calculations using the 6-31G*, the Sadlej POL, correlation consistent Dunning and aug-CEP-31G basis sets. Elec…
Novel ionic amphotropic liquid crystals, in which a hydrophilic poly(ethyleneimine) chain with hydroxy side-groups was attached to an azobenzene mesogenic core through an alkylene chain, showed a thermotropic smectic A mesophase and lyotropic smectic A and C mesophases.
The pyrolysis of polyvinylchloride (PVC) was studied in a quartz reactor with and without the addition of metal chlorides as catalysts. The results indicated that the addition of metal chlorides such us ZnCl2 or BaCl2 decreased the temperature of dehydrochlorination of PVC. The introduction of H2 in pyrolysis enhanced…
A new spin‐on‐glass (SOG) solution has been obtained by the hydrolysis of methyltriethoxysilane and dimethoxymethyl‐3,3,3‐trifluoropropylsilane. When the SOG film is cured at 360°C, it contains both trifluoropropyl and methyl groups and exhibits the dielectric constant of 3.0. Curing the SOG film at 450°C in nitrogen…
The effect of 2-hydroxyacetophenone-aroyl hydrazone derivatives on the inhibition of copper corrosion in 3N nitric acid solution at 303 K was investigated by galvanostatic polarization and thermometric techniques. A significant decrease in the corrosion rate of copper was observed in the presence of the investigated c…
