Natural biological functional scaffolds, consisting of biological materials filled with promoting elements, provide a promising strategy for the regeneration of peripheral nerve defects. Collagen conduits have been used widely due to their excellent biological properties. Linear ordered collagen scaffold (LOCS) fibers…
Phosphorescent quantum yields have been increased by 12 times by choosing bulky boracic anions as counterions for blue-emitting cationic iridium(III) complexes.
Three heteropolyanion substituted hydrotalcite-like compounds (HPA-HTLcs) including Mg₉Al₃(OH)₂₄[PW₁₂O₄₀](MgAl-PW₁₂), Mg₉Al₃(OH)₂₄[PMo₁₂O₄₀] (MgAl-PMo₁₂) and Mg₁₂Al₄(OH)₃₂[SiW₁₂O₄₀] (MgAl-SiW₁₂), were synthesized, characterized and used as catalysts for the oxidative desulfurization of simulated oil (dibenzothiophene,…
Use of robotic friction stir welding (FSW) has gained in popularity as robotic systems can accommodate more complex part geometries while providing high applied tool forces required for proper weld formation. However, even the largest robotic FSW systems suffer from high compliance as compared to most custom engineere…
In this paper, the kinetics and interface sensitivity of nano-sized magnetic NiFe2O4 in incomplete catalytic ozonation were investigated in detail. By analyzing the kinetics of heterogeneous reactions, it was found that both the degradation of phenol and the decomposition of molecular ozone appeared to follow a first…
Multipole (MTP) electrostatics provides the means to describe anisotropic interactions in a rigorous and systematic manner. A number of earlier molecular dynamics (MD) implementations have increasingly relied on the use of molecular symmetry to reduce the (possibly large) number of MTP interactions. Here, we present a…
We report the efficient implementation of a two-component time-dependent density functional theory proposed by Wang et al. (Wang, F.; Ziegler, T.; van Lenthe, E.; van Gisbergen, S.; Baerends, E. J. J. Chem. Phys. 2005, 122, 204103) that accounts for spin-orbit effects on excitations of closed-shell systems by employin…
Accurate determination of protein-ligand binding affinity is a fundamental problem in biochemistry useful for many applications including drug design and protein-ligand docking. A number of scoring functions have been proposed for the prediction of protein-ligand binding affinity. However, accurate prediction is still…
We report the preparation of branched micelles by the growth of thinner-core cylindrical micelles at the termini of the thicker-core cylindrical micelle seeds through crystallization-driven self-assembly of polyferrocenylsilane block copolymers. The branched micelles possessed structures with monodisperse middle segme…
Levulinic acid is an important platform molecule from biomass-based renewable resources. A sustainable manufacturing process for this chemical and its derivatives is the enabling factor to harness the renewable resource. An integrated catalytic process to directly convert furfural to levulinate ester was developed bas…
We report the fabrication of a flexible graphene-based nonvolatile memory device using Pb(Zr0.35,Ti0.65)O3 (PZT) as the ferroelectric material. The graphene and PZT ferroelectric layers were deposited using chemical vapor deposition and sol–gel methods, respectively. Such PZT films show a high remnant polarization (Pr…
Algal blooms are a frequent phenomenon in nearly all kinds of fresh water. Global warming and eutrophication by waste water, air pollution and fertilizers seem to lead to an increased frequency of occurrence. Many cyanobacteria produce hazardous and quite persistent toxins, which can contaminate the respective water b…
The well-known 8-aminoquinoline framework offers an ideal model for the development of fluorescence-enhanced chemosensors through simple and convenient syntheses. Herein, a novel and simple molecule chemosensor, 5-diethylamino-2-(quinolin-8-yliminomethyl)-phenol (HL), has been designed by combining an 8-aminoquinoline…
The purpose of the present investigation was to evaluate cadmium (Cd)-induced neurotoxicity in hippocampal tissues and beneficial effect of quercetin (QE) against neuronal damage. A total of 30 male rats were divided into 3 groups: control, Cd-treated, and Cd + QE-treated groups. After the treatment, the animals were…
We performed relativistic ultrafast electron diffraction (UED) measurements of the structural dynamics of photoexcited gold nanofilms and developed an atomistic model, based on the two-temperature molecular dynamics (2T-MD) method, which allows us to make a direct comparison of the time evolutions of measured and calc…
We synthesized a new electrolyte for fluoride anion transportation based on a polyethylene glycol matrix with ammonium bifluoride. The test cells worked at room temperature and showed a good specific capacity.
The optical absorption properties of (poly)aromatic hydrocarbons occluded in a nanoporous environment were investigated by theoretical and experimental methods. The carbonaceous species are an essential part of a working catalyst for the methanol-to-olefins (MTO) process. In situ UV/Vis microscopy measurements on meth…
Iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) alone are suitable for a broad spectrum of applications, but the low stability and heterogeneous size distribution in aqueous medium represent major setbacks. These setbacks can however be reduced or diminished through functionalization of MNPs with various biocompatible surfac…
Herein, we demonstrate for the first time the direct conversion of metallic Bi nanospheres into three-dimensional (3D) flower-like BiOBr nanoarchitectures at room temperature, which exhibited much higher photocatalytic performance for the photodegradation of organic dyes than 2D BiOBr nanoplates under visible light ir…
A molecular dynamics (MD) simulation program for biological macromolecules was implemented with a non-Ewald scheme for long-ranged electrostatic interactions and run on a general purpose graphics processing unit (GPU). We recently developed several non-Ewald methods to compute the electrostatic energies with high prec…
