Nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) was used to improve the anti-yellowing property of polyurethane (PU). The NCC was modified with 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPTMS) to enhance its compatibility with PU, and the surface-modified NCC was characterized by contact angle (CA), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), and therm…

The axolotl Ambystoma mexicanum is one of the most used model organisms in developmental and regenerative studies because it is commonly said that it can reconstitute a normal and fully functional forelimb/hindlimb after amputation. However, there is not a publication that has described in detail the regeneration of t…

Composite scaffolds of poly(l-lactide acid) and hydroxyapatite are of great interest in bone tissue engineering, but their mechanical properties are typically inferior to scaffolds of pure poly(l-lactide acid) due to agglomeration of the particles and weak interfacial component interaction. Fabrication strategies like…

CdTe thin films were grown by RF magnetron sputtering at deposition pressures of 1.5–4 Pa and substrate potentials of 8.8, 0, −8.2, −18.9, −28.3, −38.1, −48.0, and −98.7 V. All as-grown CdTe thin films had undergone CdCl2 treatment in dry air. The deposition pressure had a large influence on the crystalline quality, m…

We investigate the admittance of a metallic quantum $RC$ circuit with a spinful single-channel lead or equally with two conducting spin-polarized channels, in which Majorana fermions play a crucial role in the charge dynamics. We address how the two-channel Kondo physics and its emergent Majoranas arise. The existence…

The main objective of this work is to determine the mechanism for misfolding and aggregation as a result of mutations in Cu-Zn superoxide dismutase1. The quantum mechanical approach is beneficial for investigating the early stages of mutation, misfolding, and loss of protection of the native structures involved in the…

The weak-correlation asymptotics of electronic properties of harmonium atoms comprising up to four electrons are investigated. In particular, closed-form expressions are derived for the first- and second-order contributions to the Hartree-Fock and correlation energies of eight electronic states that include three sing…

Many fascinating phenomena such as large-scale collective flows, enhanced fluid mixing, and pattern formation have been observed in so-called active fluids, which are composed of particles that can absorb energy and dissipate it into the fluid medium. For active particles immersed in liquids, fluid-mediated viscous st…

The monoclinic vanadate Nd:LaVO(4) crystal was characterized, including the first investigation of thermal properties and anisotropic laser performance to our knowledge. The thermal properties behave anisotropically with the highest thermal conductivity of 3.27 W/m/K along the c* direction. With a laser diode as the p…

Coatings improve the high temperature corrosion resistance of materials by enriching the subsurface zone with elements that form protective oxide scales, which increase the material lifetime. Interesting coatings are aluminum (Al) diffusion coatings formed in a pack cementation process e.g., on austenitic steels. The…

Small fast folding subdomains with low contact order have been postulated to facilitate the folding of larger proteins. We have tested this idea by determining how the fastest folding linear β-hairpin, CLN025, which folds on the nanosecond time scale, folds within the context of a two-hairpin WW domain system, which f…

By measuring quenching of fluorescence from polymers by C 60 at a planar C 60 /polymer junction as a function of thickness of the polymer layers, we determined diffusion lengths of excitons for four kinds of polymers. The exciton diffusion lengths ranged from 5 to 12 nm depending on the polymer. We also fabricated sol…

Abstract We explored polyhydrido cluster reaction chemistry for over two decades, developing rational syntheses of di-, tri-, tetra-, and pentanuclear clusters of ruthenium. In our study of cluster chemistry, we found that triruthenium pentahydrido complex [{Cp*Ru(µ-H)}3(µ3-H)2] (1) (Cp*: η5-C5Me5) reacts with linear…

The bismuth carbamate Bi(O2CNPr(i)2)3, a tetramer in the solid-state, has been synthesized and used to deposit mixtures of bismuth oxides by aerosol-assisted chemical vapor deposition (AACVD). The nature of the deposited oxide is a function of both temperature and run-time. Initially, δ-Bi2O3 is deposited, over which…

We used the anomalous Hall effect to study the magnetic properties of MgO/Fe(t)/MgO(001) structures in which the Fe thickness t ranged from 4 Å to 14 Å. For the iron deposited at 140 K, we obtained perpendicular magnetization at room temperature below the critical thickness of tc = (9 ± 1) Å. In the vicinity of tc, th…
